We've been reworking our fright rates with LT and asked Fedex for special rating for the hoods. We are waiting for Fedex to finalize their numbers, but will be in full production soon.

On another note the rear 1/4 panels mold were pulled in carbon fiber and we have door skins we did in fiberglass these molds will come on line shortly too.

Also the lower air dam with brake cooling ducts. We have 2 other variants we are working on too. So we can offer an air dam with a cooling package including cooling plates we are working on too!
Lots of new stuff

Does the air dam line up with GT front flairs or are they designed for Sheridan front fenders?

I'm assuming so, but have yet to pull and mate up parts. As you can see this is not a quick process, and we have made some changes to the parts to make them more user friendly (like adding the substructure to the front and rear skins).

I did also wind up with some "extra" molds so I have to see what fits what.

Here's the deal I have 2 sets of molds. This is the 1st set we reconditioned and pulled from.

It will take me a few weeks but I can have an example of those up shortly. I also have some fronts I'm working on too.

So yes I could sell you what I have made here but you might want to hold tight a bit longer as the rest come on line.

The flare looks more like the GT and it extends up the 1/4 panel as one piece.

I actually like the flares that you are showing now. I’d like a pair of them. Can you PM me a price shipped to 93465. Thanks.

Seems like it's tough dividing time between production and making new molds.

We are in production never fully opened up the GB as we were trying to figure out all the moving pieces (mostly shipping and crating). We do have these squared away but with the accounting changeover we had set this aside.
Just PM me which you want (carbon fiber or fiberglass) drop me an address and I can quote.
Thanks for checking,
Mark
PS we hope to get the ball fully rolling in another month.

The Balsa was actually difficult to get. Unfortunately some of my materials are starting to increase in price too.

Mark,

Any estimate on when you might have the "race" hood without headlights? Ideally looking for a vented (Subaru conversion), fiberglass hood without the popups...

Thanks,

Mike

We have a fiberglass with the headlight delete option. The louvers are another animal. We have to start from scratch on what we have and I have the Saratoga tops in line 1st, so it will be awhile before we could get to that.

Let me know if you want the one we have made up.
