The first body tub came out of the mold today! I have a complete body! Actually I have 2 noses finished. The second body tub is being laid up tomorrow. I'm picking up 2 complete this Friday or Saturday. I can't believe that I've been working on this for 2 years. Fortunately the hard part is over.
In reply to jmc14 :
Awesome! They look great too.
So as of now a demo/driver is the first course of action to entice those to purchase said creation as thing's progress????
Thank you for the comments.
Next week I'm going to build a second frame. I have a nice jig built but I want to have a finished frame for reference.
After the frame is done I'm going to build my car. I definitely want to be driving it this spring. I plan to go to some car shows with it.
I was hoping that I would get bodies in colored gel coat and would be able to use it as a finished product. Unfortunately some body work and paint will be required.
Great work on this. It makes me smile to see you pursuing your dream on this, with great results. Best of luck further developing this and getting your first of many sales.
This is awesome!
Any idea on cost for a body and frame package?
Thank you for all of your comments.
Im going to contact Grassroots to see how much it would cost to advertise on the forum. I don't want to violate forum rules or be unfair to other advertisers. The problem is this is a hobby for me. I don't have a big budget.
I picked up 2 bodies and my plug/frame today. I was able to get everything into my 24ft trailer. (Just barely!)
My son will be home from college Saturday for semester break. He's going to work on the build with me. Having fun.
Jmc14 is it your intent to have one of these on the road before your son returns to college?
I hope to have it assembled and running before he goes back. But, it won't be on the road. It will need paint and to go through the inspection/registration process in NY. This can take awhile. My goal is to have it completely finished and registered for spring.
