I met Carlos and his father Jose and we went to their shop in Mexico. Both are very nice people, as I expected, and Carlos is a human CNC machine. He tells me that all of his work is sculpted without scans or splashes. That work is excellent, the lines are crisp, I spot checked numerous times for squareness in all three planes and it is dead on, and his roller and layup work is as good as it gets.
The pictures published are the buck and he is in the process of pulling molds. In spite of the emails that I have gotten wanting a chassis built for the Carlos body they already have, a finished kit does not and cannot exist yet. The molds already pulled are quality pieces and Carlos says that the kit will be ready in a month.
Now here is a possible downside. I have lived in Mexico and spent some time there, loved the people and the country, but there are two things that a foreigner needs to know about it. First, the answer to almost every question there is "Maybe tomorrow". Second, "Maybe tomorrow" does not mean maybe tomorrow. It means not today. There is a huge difference in the two. Carlos has been two years on this, will have a wonderful product at completion, but it currently is unavailable. Best of speed Carlos and Jose.
