VEHICLE OPTIONS
BODY:
The body is a high quality, one-piece GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) molding, hand laminated, with extra reinforcing at the wheel arches. We use chopped strand mat of internationally recognized standard, being 450 grams per square meter (15 ounces per square yard), with Isophtalic resin, 3 layers applied over the entire body and a core mat reinforcing layer in strategic places.
The door surrounds, hood and luggage compartment surrounds and other strategic points are also reinforced by applying a chopped fiber compound and an extra layer of glass mat. The doors, hood and trunk lid are double skinned for a smooth finish and added rigidity, with steel inserts in the hinge and lock areas for added durability and strength.The floor, transmission tunnel, fire wall, front inner wheel wells and luggage compartment are laminated into the main body molding in a jig to ensure accuracy, rigidity and strength. The engine bay and front inner fenders are finished in black gel coat for a smooth appearance, durability and ease of cleaning and maintenance.
PAINT WORK
After the body has cured in the mold at an ambient temperature, it is removed and inspected before being pre-fitted to the chassis. The body is then transferred to our state of the art paint facility, where it undergoes a rigorous quality inspection prior to any preparation. Any areas of concern are addressed before the paint preparation procedure starts.
The initial phase of the preparation involves the body being filed down and filled wherever necessary. The body is then primed which is post cured in an oven at 75 degrees Celsius for one hour. After the body has cooled it is then dry-flattened before it is presented to our quality control for inspection prior to the paint application. Before the paint can be applied the body receives a final check coat. After the check coat has been inspected the body is ready for the application of the final color. The base coat is followed by three layers of premium clear coat before the car is baked again at 65 degrees celsius for one hour.
After the body has cooled in the oven it is removed and left for 3 days before being flattened and polished to a high gloss. After the body passes the paint work quality control, it is moved over to the final assembly facility.

FRAME CHASSIS:
The ladder-type chassis is fabricated in a jig from SAE 1008 2' x 4' hot rolled rectangular steel tubing, with a 1/8” wall thickness, which provides a sturdy chassis, both in beam strength and in torsion rigidity. The chassis is reinforced with laser cut steel gusset plates in several areas for added strength in high stress areas. The chassis has been designed to accept a race proven independent rear suspension with coil over struts in the front. The differential is fully rubber mounted to the chassis in a cradle, eliminating mechanical differential noise and providing a smooth drive. The chassis has been designed to accept a variety of different engine options including a full range of small block, big block and modern day engines.
For added safety the chassis has been designed with a front crumple zone and the roll bar is structurally mounted to the chassis. The chassis comes with mounting points for an optional passenger side roll bar.
