    Finishing Touch 65 Daytona Build?Paint

    Hi, just want to post some pics of a Daytona Coupe I built for a customer. I did not do the mechanical & most of the sheet metal, but I did do some.. Mostly Body, Fitting, Paint & some fabrication.. I'm a Motorcycle builder, mostly, Known for my Ducati builds, but I'll try anything once. I would do it again, I learned A LOT reading the threads on this forum & tried to improve on things I didn't like & take ideas from things I Did like.. I am a Professional ASE Master Body & Paint Tech, but still a Challenge to make it look right.. Some of the fabrication I did for the pontoon/exhaust covers & The roller Blade hood guides we put in CAD, so if Factory Five would like to buy the CAD files im happy to sell them..

    Nice looking Coupe

    I've always wondered, is it actually possible to make a profit building these for sale? Or are you working essentially for a few dollars an hour?

    This build looks pretty much to the book, so I guess I can't compare because I'm sure I have 1250+ hours in without body/paint
