There was a nice write up in one of the mags I think on this one. The build may still be up on the Kelly Moss site as well. It is a very nicely built car. Kind of a like a Singer 914/6

15 weeks to make bumpers? I'm slow and probably overly meticulous but I'm calling foul on that claim.

What I like about these high end builds is there are a lot of cool ideas and details that can be translated to our cars without spending a fortune.

Hopefully they meant 60. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The level of detail is awesome and I'm planning on stealing some of the ideas. Beautiful car!

I love the PORSCHE on the rockers. That doesn't look like the raised letter one. Just a decal? or painted on?

Take a look at the gaps around the front hood, headlights, eyebrows, etc.... it's a beautiful car but for $375K I would have hoped for better gaps. Yeah, I am just a picky dude I guess.

Cool car but the price is insane.....$225K. For that much money I'd rather have these two....probably a better investment also.

Not likely. Those bumpers look completely hand crafted, probably took 2 or 3 times to get right. 600 seems excessive, but you have 2 guys working on something and have to redo it multiple times time adds up fast. I dont think I could come close to that result for 100hours..
