How far off being on the road are you? Or are you concentrating on making the moulds still?

ohhh sooooo close......
I've been driving on the street for quite a while. (sans registration... - got pulled over by the police last week! But no tickets...) Molds
have been finished for several months and I have been concentrating on interior panels, latches and lighting.

Cool. How soon before you'll be able to start selling stuff? As I may be after one of those sexy shells of yours!

Setting up shop now. Sales possible within a month or two. Shipping might be pricey? I can look into it. Might be less expensive shipping-wise to do a
UK group buy?
I am not yet a certified trader here so I don't think I should take this conversation any further in public?  Or is it ok to discuss this as a
'future' thing? U2U anyone? or sdg@newtier.com
Ned, Front rims are 16x7 +38 4x100mm. Tire Falken Azenis RT-615 215/45 R16
Rears are 17x8 +33 4x100mm Tire Falken Azenis RT-615 235/40 R17

those black wheels look well on the white car. i was going to use those ones and then decided on ultraleggeras but everyone i phoned messed me about
and didnt really seem to want to sell me them so i bought cheaper ones on ebay.
also actually, the car looks really good without the windscreen too, could maybe try it with a small earoscreen as well? just a thought. looks really
nice anyway. it doesnt strike me as being kitcarish if you get my drift. much more proffesional.

I think that's the nicest compliment I could receive. Thank you!

I have been thinking about the aeroscreen look and think it will look nice. Maybe a 4" lip to direct the airflow up and over?

I love the look of the rear. Reminds me of a Ferrari, I've always had a weakness for Italian cars.

Had two Kit Car Builer Magazine reporters out to the shop yesterday. So before they arrived I made a huge push to get the car a bit more finalized.
The good news is that they were quite impressed (more than impressed I think) and they want to do a full feature article. The bad news was that they
arrived quite late due to traffic issues and were unable to take photos due to impending darkness. They made the point that they won't put a
white car on their cover and want me to put a decent paint job on before they fly back out for the real shoot. color color color sells. I planned on
painting the car metallic orange anyways so this is a good excuse to get it done sooner than later.
Here are some photos from yesterday before they arrived. Note the tail lights are on, the new rollbar and the windshield is in too.
Still images just don't do the car justice. Especially my little digital camera. I uploaded a grainy little youtube video. Take a look at it as
it gives you a better sense for the curves and proportions.

La Bala is looking dang sexy with those wheels. In fact, I'm as hard as a diamond in an ice storm right now.
