95 GSX Roadster

Slightly looks like it but smaller. It's the first thing that came to my mind since that's what I almost bought yesterday.

Update:

Car will be ready for primer tomorrow evening. Here are some pics of the progress.

Dash, sub box, trunk lid and insert, and door panel.

Side shot after feather fill. Blocking it out tomorrow. Front fenders and hood are new, so we just bagged the front end.

I will be there with this car as long as its not pouring. I have a 10x10 canopy since its topless. I just hope it's not. I should be at the bony eagle show as well.

All primed!

Nice, looks really cool and unique. How long did it take you from start to now?

Got any pics of the extensive chassis bracing? I'm curious to see how you guys did it.

That is not complete yet. There is a brace that runs from b pillar to b pillar, then each side of that brace has gussetts from the b pillars to the center of the car. I haven't had the change to get it up on the lift for the bracing under the car. Am thinking an x brace with tube running the length of each rocker, then a few tubes on each side to the x brace. That should really stiffen it up....not that there really is much more flex to the car. I have had that thing jacked up more ways than I can count, and none of the seams narrow or widen. It is actually more rugged than I anticipated.

Is it difficult/expensive to open up your own shop like that? How is business?

I've been in the business for 14yrs. But I started my shop with a $2000 used lift my personal tools and an impact. I was by myself, and now have 3 lifts, alignment rack, most of the specialty tools, 3 employees, etc. so yeah, business is good!
