True pieces of automobile art.

What a fantastic way to end on a high note! They look superb and complement each other nicely. I’m also excited you picked the reentry interior which is the favorite option I picked (the wife actually did…) for my spec. Congrats man, you deserve it after all the endless hours/days/months/years you put into being the frontman for the program and putting up with us high maintenance GT owners!

 

[Simon]

Enjoy in good health!

Congrats on the Liquid Victory! Hard earned and well deserved.

Awesome looking! Will either / both of these be driven??!

 

[Stef]

Wow!
Congrats Dave, this is really awesome! Much deserved sir.
After seeing the one in the very stunning BMW yellow I was like can it be better?
Now I know for a fact that it can.
Congrats again hope see it in person.
Probably better have some smelling salts on hand for some of us.

Yeah I'll drive mine.

The thing is, obviously the cars are (currently) pretty valuable. It's not really a matter of devaluing anything with mileage, it's just that we have absolutely atrocious roads that are not any fun to drive on here, and then these things are very, very difficult to replace. The LC cars use different tools because you can't obscure any flaws with primer and paint, and a different appearance grade of CF. Even still, MNV would typically run 3-5 of each panel before finding a set they deemed suitable for the car.

When I saw the car at MNV pretty late in build it had a dummy panel for the drivers side buttress. I knew that meant they must have found something they didn't like in the panel. In the end I was told the panel on the car now was number 9. That makes me think the majority of the cars built after are now wearing panels originally destined for this one. So I would be lying if I said that didn't make me nervous thinking of all the ways a panel could get whacked years down the road and then trying to replace it with one that is as good. Not saying it's not a bitch trying to paint match a painted panel, because lord knows it is, but it's definitely easier than this.

Wow edition!
If multiple panels rejected, if minor blemishes, hope they will hold on to them for replacement pieces for the rest of us!!

That's fantastic Dave, hope to see in person one day.

On a reassuring note, I’ve seen some bare CF repaired and was amazed how I couldn’t even notice the slightest hint of repair. Every last fiber blended perfectly.
