It will be a very nice piece of art, all the body parts for the mould are cnc done.

Is the red coupe a Saab Sonnet or a Marcos GT? I can't keep the minor league players straight in my mind anymore...

Check the thread from a while back when Buzz modified the concept car. Way nicer and you probably wont have copy issues. Except with Buzz

Saab Sonett MK I......

And yes, the picture is a copyrighted Ford image. I am amused when I see people advertising "component cars" using pictures of the vehicle they are replicating. I Sorta like the 17 year old kid that took deposits on McLaren replicas using real McLaren photos........................the scarey part is people sent him deposit money!

Perhaps if enough people send deposits for this "car" he will look into tooling it and perhaps building some before he goes bankrupt or just "disappears".
(Gee, sorta like a certain person that now owns "AC"........how many of the CT. built cars have you seen and where is the new Smart based AC Ace?) Hmmmmnn.....

It will be a round tube chassis with all billet suspension parts IRS with 31 spline axel shaft and fiberglass body with Kevlar reinforcement .
Thanks,

Don,

Just one dudes opinion, but that proto was downright FUGLY. I mean seriously bad. I think if the public had generally liked it they might have built it. From what I saw online at a variety of sites the car was not well received.

Everything about the proto car sounded great, the chassis, drivetrain, etc were cool, but the body......anyway best of luck whichever way you go.
