^^ Thanks =)

The Crap bucket as it sits now. It's such an eye sore, I'll be putting in a lot of work the next few months trying to get this presentable along with releasing/demoing some of our new products...

I also started making the cage (just the main hoop) and im stuck in this huge debate if i want a nice TIGHT cage with no rear interior plastics or tolerance some space to allow for the plastics to fit back in and go for a more "streetable" look. I didnt take any pics.. I'll try to remember to bring the camera to the shop next time -_-

Oh, so I see you save the best of your products for yourself! (ie, engine cover)

That thing looks pretty killer.

Thank you I didnt save it for myself, thats the most recent prototype that cost too much to take to Sevenstock =( They'll be available around DGRR. I've been focusing on getting the car ready for this season since it doesnt make sense to make parts without a "shop car"

Yup, had that car for like 8 months during the winter. Drove around with the top down all the time since I could not fit in it with it up. Used it to commute 50 miles round trip a few times a week.

Yea it will be empty because once you buy one of them you have no money for tools or you sold all your tools inorder to buy the box

Interesting indeed! It's super fun to try new things and explore new methods and experiment, after all that's how we innovate and learn right!?

Day 2 of the tedious wing build. What a PITA this was. If only my hot wire cutter didn't crap out.
Welp, heres a mini pic update.
