2005 LBBP Route-KS Madonna Wide Body Mega Build
- Thread starter 01a4man
- Start date
Thank you! The car should be painted very shortly and when Gil gets the car into the body shop, he will remove the fiberglass kit that is on right now and mount the carbon version to unveil it to everyone. He's ran into issues with trailers as the car is so wide. Once he is able to find a suitable trailer, it will be off to the paint booth and on a lift for pics of the carbon body.
Gil and I have talked about going half-half on a new project. This one should cost much less as between the two of, a ton of parts are readily available. We've discussed an all motor build using the same Super Madonna kit. Both of us are still kicking around the idea and looking for a good candidate to start the build with. We'll have to wait and see how it goes!
Thank you very much for the kind words. Gil has put a TON of time and effort into the body alone. The things he's done with it are pretty amazing. In fact, what is more amazing is the fact that he has done this out of his garage and not a shop. There is something to be said for his grass-roots abilities. I've asked him repeatedly if I can become his apprentice. We'll see how it goes! lol

I'm interested in the "43.4MM" kit. If it ever becomes reality, please let me know. Thanks.

As you can tell, I'm too busy to be on here. 2 boys and a PITA job in PET manufacturing. I don't have the time or budget for cars anymore, or at least I HAVE different financial priorities. Love owning real estate.
But I still have both NSX in a barn in Ohio. I hope one day to have the time to bring both back to life. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
Any updates?
No real updates as of late. Gil has been busy with his day job, finding a trailer wide enough to fit the car on, and a few other things. Right now he is working on getting us pics of the carbon body on the car.
A couple of items you all might want to see. Gil made a carbon radiator cowl for the car and some radiator brackets in carbon.
I told him I wasn't sure if I wanted him to mount them because they were so pretty! lol
Radiator Brackets
Radiator Cowl
Stay tuned!
Mmm those are looking very slick.
How is the car coming? I sign in daily to check on this thread!
Vapor?

Anybody heard from Gil in a while? Busy with day job?
?????
A little side project Gil has been working on. Wish I could tell you what else, but I think I'll wait the car is completed.
A few old pics and parts added to the list
Gil is cleaning up some wiring from the previous stereo install
Science of Speed came through with some really nice RSTBs
Finally found a Comptech RSTB, so I had to grab it! Thanks Diddy!

clickbait or what
It shouldn't even be permitted to lock a non-for-sale thread. We should be able to conjecture and complain for years to come.
Yeah, what was the result? Kinda wanted to see all the carbon pieces mounted and maybe an official weight measurement. Is the build dead?
