Am I missing the price or have my eyes just gotten theat bad?

Did you click on the link to the build pages? Today's special, $42k!

NIce job Bill. How was the fit and finish of the kit parts. Was body stiff enough? I am considering the 65, but I am not a mechanic. Might consider buying.

Hi Steve,

The body has some flex but once it's attached to the frame it's quite stiff. You need the flex to assemble it. Finish was pretty good, we didn't see much for pinholes in the gel coat as some of the earlier guys mentioned. Fit wasn't great but we worked it out. The nose was too long and tall, it took a skill saw and some fiberglass to make it right. The doors took forever to get right, with pretty significant differences from side to side. This was one of the later black bodies, the new red bodies are supposed to be much better.

Best,

Thanks for the input. NIce job. Regards

Very nice build, looks great.

Are those Carbeau seats? Which model and how did you like them?
