    If you had to pay for it, it would not be plesent. But, On the other hand, all this work is included in a package deal. Every car we do is different. This started out as a power build began else ware. When we had been asked to finish the project,
    I did not have the heart to put it together with out making it look the part as well. So this has got to look like it can get the job done. Even standing still. This is a combined effert from TCtech ind. (motor) and me (Project consultent/Designer/builder).
    You can find many more post about this build in the DFW section old forum. I have this and 2 others to finish up and than will be spending much more time on own projects. Time frame to clean every bit of black undercoating off and prep for paint about 30 days. Grrrr.
    This entire chassis was cleaned and scrubbed with a stiff bristel brush not much bigger than a tooth brush. Plenty of more pics in "GTwizard" photo bucket for those that wish to know what it takes to do this.
    Except I did not like it the first time and ended up painting, sanding, and clear coating twice. It sucks being picky. Here are a couple more pic to play with. Although this now has the rear wheel steer delete, The steering line on the right side of the car are now for fuel. LOL.
    WE will run no covers over the lines, as there is a look we are going for. And covers have no place on this build. Enjoy.

    You're setting quite a standard with that type of work.

    I've done a bit of this, and if you find a customer who will make it worth your while to indulge your own idea of perfection, it's pretty sweet.

    If it happened more often, I might have never stopped doing cars.
    Ranked No. #1 in initial quality

    Idiots, simply by being idiots, seem capable of achieving randomly bad things that are beyond the imaginings of sensible people.

    Not a lot of takers for this kind of work. Far and few between. I do my best to make this affordable. So not getting rich by anymeans.
    But this work does allow me to build these TT cars (that I love) with out having to own one. I love building them, but doen't want 1. Hell, Don't need 1. I have these to play with. LOL.
    Just wish to be the best what we do. Others like Pampena have made a name for themselves. WE are trying to do the same. But it is a lot easier to find people willing to put money in to motor
    rather than the rest of the car. Our current claim is NA fame. 1 day My own NA should look this good.

    Beautifully stated.

    One might say the fame that doesn't come from under the hood is sort of "NA" by comparison.

    Keep it up, then.
