New member intro from Georgia
04Murcie:
Thanks @AdrianBurton. You have some true exhaust porn in your build. You can definitely list welding skills among your talents. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
@Jets303, fantastic build on your Murcie. Is there a particular angle or a specific piece I can photograph to tell who laid up my fiberglass? As far as I can tell, it seems to matter mostly for the glass and where to strengthen the fiberglass. I found anecdotal info on Sebring windshields in the search, but has someone made a compendium of info on the things that go with each body? Specifically, my concerns are glass and light fixtures and where to source them.
When I started this, I was so excited that it appeared to be a splashed copy so true to the original that I could order real Lambo taillights and they would bolt in. Then I saw that a pair of real taillights were going for $15,000 and headlights were north of $10,000 each. Suddenly I want to get lights off an Escalade, turn them sideways, and call it a day. I've already reasoned with myself that a true "can't tell from 5 feet away" copy is out of my reach, so I'm not married to original lights, but I still want it to look good. I don't want anyone to walk up and say hey those are tail lights from a 1973 Pinto, aren't they?
If I may ask the court in general, I'm looking for a new engine. I'm wanting to get her running before I retire, so I will probably just buy a long block. More expensive, but I have a family who wants to see me so I need to outsource at least a few things. The guy at my local Irish Auto Parts store and the other National competitor said don't buy it here because you will be back in a month all pissed off. They both use ATK so I'm wondering about that quality. What's the consensus on rebuilders/remanufacturers and who else is there? Or should I just bite the bullet, hit up a junk yard, and practice honing cylinders on my dead block?

I appreciate the build journals everyone has left and am already compiling photos and bits I've had to do to this one in case the next person gets any use out of it. And here's the front view if it helps identify it. Thanks again.

And 2 of the best to ever build these projects, not to mention some of the other insane builders that are a part of this family of builders, welcome to the club
Jets303:
I believe that is a Triangle G24 roadster, maybe a Mike Vetter. Hard to tell from the angle

Welcome. Here is link to a manual I did when building my IFG roadster on Fiero. https://www.lambobuilder.com/manual.html
Also a great resource is an archived version of Ron Fletcher's Lambolounge. That covered many topics. Not all links work but a great resource

There is also a Lamborghini Replica FB page that has numerous Murci builds in progress as well. https://www.facebook.com/groups/161571067223540
Good luck, and again, welcome.
