So just as I was going to go to several dealers today to start putting down deposits on a Vision I got this email,
Greg,

Good morning, I hope all is well.

The time has FINALLY come! I have your GT4 allocation for a March build!


So good news and better news, I went to the Porsche dealer today to confirm the build,,, so Im now getting my GT4!!!!

the better news is that I will now re-establish the partnership with Pettit to make this kit come to life, so I can get some additional income flowing when the GT4 comes in. Short story, I will work through the winter to take it as far as I can and than pass it off to Pettit to produce.

Hurray on all fronts!!!

Congrats on snagging a GT4. I have buddies that are being told "no chance" they're gonna get one.

Good news on the Cam front too.

Since you will be working with Pettit again, will it be for a tube frame car or an FD? (Please be tube frame)

I know Cam has plans for that, you'll have to talk to him. His only intention's with the kit are to go full race spec with it, where I'm more interested in creating street cars.

Just finished winter commission, pretty cool little Electric trike called the Arcimoto SRK
Alpha models launched a couple weeks ago, still lots to do on the solid doors.













and pre production Alphas in the flesh, seats, DRLs, and mesh to be updated to match rendered concepts

IInfotainment/performance computer

I have an infotainment/performance computer that I have been building for my FD. It uses a 7" touchscreen integrated into the dash and interfaces to an Apexi PFC and with development could interface to other ECUs. I have posted images of some of my screens in a seperate thread in the Apexi PFC forum section. I could also invision building an TFT display that could provide all the functionality for gauges etc. This seems like a very nice bodykit like others I can't wait to see the progress of this.

It is not personal and definitely not hate, it is just skepticism. If it comes into fruition then great! If not, well...


Edit-
I honestly hope it happens. But being here on the forum has tought me a few things about 'projects'.

It isn't a kit. It is a rendering of a potential kit.

last night's pm was the first I received from you, and everyone else that has pm'd me I have fully updated them.
Anyway previous post stands, as far as Pettit goes, it was established early in this thread that Pettit no longer has anything to do with this kit.

Looking at this rendering design, it look similar to mine.
Since I already have been making mine already, the front bumper bar and front fender which I can make another one to look exactly the same but the headlight need to be custom made for it.
