Maybe it's just me, but I have a hard time taking seriously a company that builds replicas in an open lot, with shopping carts as sawhorses.
Photos of 'what ares will look like' just don't cut it. Robert, if you want to maintain any image of a professional nature - make sure your operation at least looks professional.Rick |

Great Photoshop of the concept car in your carport, Robert. Too bad the white vehicle wasn't reflecting in the windows - it would have been more believable. Until I see a photo of someone sitting in the finished car, and a close-up of the paint and bodywork, I won't be convinced. Sorry!

Robert I myself think you are extremely talented and would buy from you before any of the advertisers on this site. You are completely moving away from the industry and building things that other companies just wont. I dont care if you were building in the trailer park, under your carport, and your office is your bathroom in your singlewide. I would buy. LEt me say when I see a completed car and you are ready to go into production I will be promoting the crap out of you.

If I lived there I would be under your carport everyday, let me tell you ...HAHAHAHAHIm not the best at any one thing. But I can do a little bit of everything. I want to build a hybrid 3 wheeler I have had in my head, But my buddies have no interest. So I will be starting alone this summer. Just keep it up man . Also are you ever going to update your site?

What work? All I see are pictures of fiberglass over plywood bucks, and an Enzo wanna-be in really rough form (hope ******* doesn't find out about that!). What appears to be a front fascia and carbon fiber speaker grids do look nice - I'll give you that. The Charger paint job...well...if the customer was satisfied, that's all that counts. Personally, I've seen straighter lines run by our local DMV road crews. If Robert had paid more attention to the detail work of the tape stripe, it would have been a much cleaner job.

Matt, sarcasm is all well taken. I'm not a car builder, nor do I pretend to be. My business is a manufacturer of signs - gee, there's a comparison! The point is that a certain amount of pride needs to be taken in one's work and how it's presented. Robert certainly thinks highly of his, and that's fine. I'm sure he has stuff that I haven't seen that is just fabulous, but the fact remains that the photos that have been presented here don't convince me of a quality product that he is trying to sell.
If I had a shop that was on a back lot of some housing development, my business would suffer tremdously because of the implied "cheapness" of the final product, no matter how well it was built. The buying public wants to see a professional attitude and location - even if it's in your own backyard.
And, if you really want to bang my work, here are two examples:
So, if it makes you feel better, bash away. I take it all, good and bad, and try to make my work stronger from all comments. Rick
