550 Spyder Build

Post by unobtanium-inc »

I don't think I've posted this before, but I've been working on this one for about 5 years. The body is almost done and we finished the chassis last week. About 50% of the aluminum is original 550, scavenged from other cars.

Hi Adam
This makes my M&W Spyders list of 'To Do's' seem a little less of a worry...
Love the hood details!

All the best
