Title: CHUPACABRA PROJECT
Post by: 76mx on September 19, 2017, 04:40:46 PM
After all of the time and effort, I feel like we have reached a landmark day on our Chupacabra Project. Twenty of the twenty-two design files for the coachwork are complete and work has begun on the bucks and molds. There are pictures and other documentation on Facebook at CharleysChupacabra.

Great looking car.  Best of luck on your endeavor.  We need more options in the "kit" world.

I told myself I'd never do another build....but when this comes to fruition I may be hard pressed to go for it.  The amt of time and attention to detail given to the design phase is second to none.  Now I would just have to convince the wife.

Great work as always Charley.  When do you expect to have the body parts completed?

Pedro my friend, you asked when I expected them, and the answer was last year. I would like to see them too.

Beautiful looking car. Where can I find a prototype to see what the final car is going to look like. The wheels look to 90ish like from a Diablo.

I can not wait to see this build. How much are you planning to sell these for?

Carlover, There are final design drawings on Facebook at CharleysChupacabra. They are the same ones that the plugs and molds are currently being made from. Video #37 on YouTube at Strickland Racing Inc deals exclusively with the custom wheel design we finally decided on. Presale price for the base car is $80,000. A $10,000 down payment gets a spot in line and a low serial number.

Thanks, I will check it out. I think the car looks great. Unfortunately, I do not think I have enough money for this build. I have been looking at the Gagliardi Vex and I am leaning towards that one but I still may be interested if the price comes down.

The price is not coming down. That is the price for a place in line and a low serial number right now. The Madison Avenue marketing firm that one of the money guys sent down here to look at this project says that price will at least double after the formal presentation.
