Thats nuts! Its so funny to see an NSX chassis naked with no body panels..... b/c the rear end looks like an el camino! :) nice work cant wait to see the new paint! what else are u doing to it?
 
lol......without fenders ..mexiflush....
 
Awesome work Shawn. I can't wait to see how it all comes out. Though, the 02 + look will be great, it would have been cool to do a 97 Imola Type S replica. I wonder if anyone has done that yet?
 
LOSTBUCKEYE I know if the person that is buying this frame-up restoration decided to keep the pop-ups and do the TYPE-S Imola it would be even that much more rare. Imola 02 is super rare but only 1-2 imola type s in the USA

yikes I am sure he is gonna read this. do you guys have any type S imola pics you can provide for this thread.

I love pop-ups but Imola pop=up would be even sicker.
 
Cars looking great. Super quick tear down!!
