You can count on it, the more hands the better.

The beauty of the GTM is that it is all about trail and error..... Several way to build the same car. I would appreciate all the help I can get. The interior is next and a few extra hands are a must.*

I'll go one better. When I start the 818, lets do a crowd sourced/assisted build. I'll even allow everyone that helped build the car to sign their name to it. I know its not an F-Body but it will be fun just the same.

Hatch is done.....cut in and lines look great. The adjustable (carbon fiber) wing is attached and finalized. Right now it is locked stationary but it will use sensors off the Cayman to adjust the pitch when at speed. No rush on that, I want the car in paint. Here are some updated pix.

Its getting close, full primer by this time next week and paint the following week. In a straight line it should give the Aero a run for it's money up to about 120mph, after that the GTM will act as if it was towing a boat.

Btw, if anyone wants to volunteer on the home stretch and have some hands on, beer and pizza on me.

I'm happy to assist on your projects too, If it's fast, i have probably had one apart at some point.
Yup I'm definitely going to come by and check this out sometime.
