It's always nice to see finished cars on the road considering the amount of work that goes into making one. That lime green g28 roadster looks like it was well-built except for the fact it's missing door glasses. I couldn't imagine setting out to build a car knowing there won't be any door glasses. Just defeats the whole purpose in my opinion.

I agree with the person who posted the pics, it seems like we're all a little car fatigued & need something fresh & new to look at/build. I'd personally like to see an Aventador built. The doors seem like it would be a challenge to get it to go up & out simultaneously.

Steve (Tri-G) will sell his blue roadster if you offer him the right amount, but the car is only worth about 30K.

Hey everyone,
New to this forum but been following the kit car world for years. Yeah, I went to the Pomona AHA show...
all I can say is- it was dismal! Nothing like the shows back at Knotts, there were only a handful of cars, nothing new or exciting! Where are all the kit manufacturers??? Maybe they're all underground these days, with all the lawsuits and stuff... Only one Lambo clone was there, albeit the ultimate one- the friggin' original G-28 by the (former) owner of Triangle G himself! Nice guy, but no kits for sale, his (last, personal) two cars were not for sale, just showing them... darn! I'm always looking for a good builder, you know, one that won't talk how great they are and then disappear/make you waiting for months/years...

No disrespect for the guys that were there, there were some cool Cobras and such, one nice Diablo, a "Tushek F1" (which looked kinda like a K-1 Attack). But dude, I long for the days of the Vendetta, multiple Lambo kits, Ferrari kits... I guess those days are gone. I wanted to see anything along the lines of 458, Aventador, McClaren, etc., but no dice. Guess I'll just keep waiting and looking!

Here's some pic's for y'all, anyway

Good to know. We should plan on going next year.  ::headbang
If I don't have time to do it right, when will I have time to do it over?

As usual I forgot and missed the Pomona kit car show 2 weeks ago

Did anyone go and take pics ? Or are there any links to pics from the 2013 show online ?
I can't find any
