Is there an option for you guys to do all the body work for the customer before it ships out? The cutting I mean, not the paint. Basically to get it to the state where after delivery it can go straight to body shop.
5 to 8k for prep and paint? Seriously? What happens if the body is body is significantly damaged after car is complete? Maybe a front or rear crunch or fender smashed? Can fiberglass be repaired or are repair panels available to be grafted in? Or is the entire body replaced at that point? If I was going to track one of these cars Iseriously would not spend that much trying to make perfect...and I would think a number of these cars would see the track
@@j.e.d.8065 agree, not a great deal of personal experience here, but, I think they would have to sell you a completed chassis-that some other kits offer-ready for engine install
@@nomehdrider Most people buy the chassis first and complete it before buying the body. I have worked with fiberglass reinforced with Kevlar for over 25 years and carbon fiber for 5 years their is nothing you can do to stop it from moving around unless you add a metal structure or mount it to its chassis. Even steel bodies flex.

You guys should offer to do this before the car leaves the factory. I would pay for this part everytime personally.
I just bought a reciprocating saw yesterday. This video came just in time.
These vids are incredibly helpful. Thank you guys for taking the time to document the process and share it. Invaluable info here. Greatly appreciated.
Thank yall for these videos! Very much appreciated!
One day I will be doing this. One day😊
Holy fiberglass splinters
Keep them coming!
All that makes me itch just looking at it. I’d need a Tyvek suit and a forced air respirator to do that.
Get a shop filtration system.

Looks scary to me. What do you do when that saw blade starts to wander off in the wrong direction?
good question
get a Saw blade that's shorter
For the price of the kit, there shouldn't be that much modification and work required.
Hearing protection. You only have two.
Any chance at a series for the coupe? Or at least 1 using these videos as a starting point?
That fiberglass looks awfully flimsy. What’s the layer thickness on these bodies? I did the exact job on a Vette wheel arch and it didn’t flex at all
Is it necessary to trim the wheel well?
Seems like a router might work for some of it? Ever tried that?

What kind of blade are you using on the air saw?
We are using a fine tooth blade.
Too bad they aren't good enough to just produce it to fit correctly in the first place. If you're selling the frame, just make the body fit.
Because you can't. If the body is not mounted it will warp ask any hot rod builder.
