Texas Reventon Build

[Texas]

Front end

[Texas]

I also spent a couple of days finding and filling holes along most any edge which this car has a few...

[Texas]

I told myself that I wasn't going to get caught up in the details but theres a few things about this kit that aren't even close, so I proceeded to chop cut and rework the shape on the front end. I built a wooden frame on wheels to make it easier to work on.

[Texas]

I haven't made much progress as I have been a little under the weather along with the rest of the family. I ended up getting bad news on my wheels after I already bought the tires. Turns out that they haven't made them and not sure if they will ever make them, Tire Rack ended up refunding my money after they found that out. Origanally designed for a vette. 20x12.5 for the rear less than $250.00 each and about the same for the fronts. Oh well I'll just keep looking for what I want.

I also wanted to use a Boxster as a donor for my LP640 build but everyone talked me out of it.  I am glad to see that you are going to be building one, do you know how you are going to stretch the Boxster yet?  Congratulations on the new house it looks good, at least the most important part of it, the garage! 

Thank you I am loving the a/c in a nice garage, beats the country barns and gravel I have worked in for the last 15yrs. I feel that the stretch will be very easy on this car. All the a/c and brake lines will bend so I don't have to cut and repair/refill, should be just a few coolant lines- oh and cut and weld and all that but it looks easy. I have a detailed video that I got from Mike Vetters on his stretch of a Boxster and murci kit start to finish. Nice guy and the vids are worth the expense.
