This is my personal car so I have professionally built and fabricated many features
you just wont find anywhere else. I have been building high end Speedsters and Spyders for over 12 years.
I am a perfectionist and a stickler for detail.
This is a professional build not your typical home built kit car. I always tell my customers to go and inspect
any home built car before you buy it. They all look good in photos but the proof is in the test drive.
This car drives like a dream. It's solid and does not squeak rattle or roll. This thing handles like it's
on rails. When you shut the doors it's solid as can be. The fit and finish are concourse quality.
