Car was built over a year and a half period. The plan is to build only one vehicle per year to use as a product showcase, then sell it the following year. This is considered chassis 008.



008 theme is a streetable track day car. Car started life in 1982. Body kit is a Pacific Wide Body kit that is no longer available.



Build process was discussed in the following threads:

Car is fully street legal and currently tagged in Georgia. Emissions exempt.



Car can be driven absolutely anywhere. Very reliable.



Could use paint if new owner decided to use it as a nice street car. The vehicle shines up well and presents well but there is some scratches and spider webbing - Our use for the vehicle did not warrant fresh paint.



Vehicle is being sold for $7000 with a stock port 12A or $6000 as a roller.

This was taken from one of the build thread post:



"The shell was completely stripped of all parts. Shell was then prepped by aircraft stripping all the wheel wells, interior and engine compartment. Once clean we began to repair the wheel well rot. Sections were cut out and new sheet welded in place. We used new upper arm support brackets removed from a donor chassis to complete the repair. All non used holes were filled on the firewall with round slugs cut from sheet metal and welded in place. Once the welds were ground down you can not see where the hole were. Threaded bungs were welded in place for the hood pins and the fuel pressure regulator bracket was fabricated and welded to the pinch weld on the firewall. Brackets were fabricated and welded for the second generation oil cooler mounted in front of the radiator. We then covered the tire well with our normal fuel cell block off panel though we have chosen to stay with the stock tank for a while. A simple 4 point bar was fabricated from 1.5" x .095 wall DOM. The bar was built to help support the rear shock area for possible future updates in the back. It was also built so that it can be updated to a full cage later. Once chassis fabrication was completed we sprayed the engine area, interior and wheel wells gloss white.



Our goal with the car is a streetable, track day car that represents our abilities and product line. We wanted to build the vehichle with an "old school" look. It will be used for a few track days her an there as well as to show the vehicle at events like Deals Gap and SevenStock. To attain this goal we decided there would be interior from the main hoop forward. There would be a full street legal wire harness. All the parts for the vehicle would come from our online store or our available sources just as our customers would do."
