cast aluminum DDs We are back ordered on two units, but have about 7 in process. We determine delivery dates by when we receive payment. We have been focusing on the GTX1 roof over the past few weeks and getting carbon orders out for the Rally, so the cast parts have been lagging. I'll be...

Let's go And I have fresh Saws-All blades. A match made in GT heaven.

double din Done! Thanks so much! We'll have a new home for it. The new shop is coming together just in time!

Thanks Shelby Hey Shelby Thanks for posting pics! This makes my day. Glad it all went well for you. We've got your second one about done.

radio package On most head units, the radio protrudes about 5mm from the casting. This allows for the required operational clearance. As Shadowman said, the tounge depressor is used as a gauge to ensure operational clearance to the bottom of the casting. The Pioneer DDs have a drive mechanism...

Renderings I can scan some of the original renderings and send them. PM me with an email address.

I never did any renderings of a Heritage paint scheme. We'd be happy to build one!

His last name Not to mention his last name is one of those hyphenated British surnames. It's actually Bill Care Skilled-Knobloch. I understand that the Skilled is silent and not actually pronounced. Actually, the 'skilled' is pronounced, but you know what I mean.... Sorry. It's late and I...

Roof Price depends on if it is painted or if we do clear carbon, custom headliner etc. Please ring me to discuss. There is only one other guy I'd trust to install this, Shadowman.... We'd have to work out the details, but I'd trust him. All the GTX1s are a little different, so it's not a...

When am I getting my GT? Not soon enough..................

3000 square feet Yah, that's what I am afraid of...... It's a great problem to have! I do have my eye on the building next door, already...... It would make for a nice little complex.

Latches Well it's all coming together. One week to go before the car ships, and all the hard work in pattern making, tooling, and processing the bits is coming together. This is the fun part when everything starts to look pretty and you get to bolt and bond it all together. It's the "showey...

Tom's GTX1 Dude - I really, really want Tom's GTX1.... Actually, Rich Brooks picked it up this morning to shake it down and give it the once-over. We have a short list of things to do yet; bond on the door caps, paint the roof, etc. One week to go. No problem. Cheers!

Continental It's really cool. The place isn't much but the music is great and the crowds are cool. Last time I was there, Billy Gibbons was standing behind me. No one was pestering him. The guy that owns it is a real car guy (hot rods). He owns the Black Dalia. You see it parked out front...

Can we please post-pone the rally? Hey Dave Can I respectfully request that we push the Rally back a week? I have learned that Dale Watson is playing in the UK and the Netherlands that week..... Can you believe my stupid luck?!?!?! Dale plays the Continental every freeking week and he goes...

my help Actually, I've got two employees. My main guy is just brilliant. An excellent pattern maker and really great at the carbon. I joke that when I die, I am going to leave an endowment to exhibit his patterns and mold at the Detroit Institute of Art. My other employee is a fine artist we...

carbon We do the mirrors and would be happy to do the door and levers. Cheers Kip

Door cap tools Today we made the tools for the door caps. The original plan was to do cavity molds with a male and female side. After studying the final geomerty of the patterns, I decided it was just too risky to do it that way, due to the fact the parts have a good deal of 'die-lock'. We...

GTX1 roof - now in carbon! First of all: thanks for all the compliments! Loads of late nights lately (well, I did step out to go to the Joan Jett concert with Emily! Great show!) so I appreciate it! Anyway - we did make the carbon parts for the exterior skin and inner panel for the roof. The...

Door cap progress Big progress on the door caps this past week. You will recall this thread started with the clay modeling of the door caps. We made rough molds and cast hard urethane models of these clay models. One of the most difficult things to do in manual prototyping is to make the...
