This is my proyect ,I hope that you like it,we spend about 4 years working just on satudays and the second year for many reasons was allmost imposible to work on it.
But with pasient and dedication is nearly finished.

Looks very nice - very unusual wheel design.

Second that sentiment Andy - it is very nice.

Lovely finished off!

Be proud - you ought to be

Nice job!!

I like the shape around the cockpit sides/arches.

What will the transitos think of it. Do you have to go through any pre registration tests? Sorry but I don't have a name to address the questions to, like what engine and everything but the car looks really smart.

The post title is becouse if you can see in the picture the body is all metal sheet not aluminun,the car have a 5K Toyota motor and yes it is realy smart and still I have to put a doble carb on .

Congratulations,one VERY nice car!!!!!

Ola Hombre!

Usted automovile es muy bello. Muchas felicitaciones para la calidad del construccion.

And now, the question. Is your nosecone made from steel, or glassfibre?

The nose and front fenders where the only parts that I order from factory,the grill ,hood,bonet,rear fenders and side panels are steell sheet hand made.
In my shop I have lathe,and many equipement,so I built every part of this car.

You can be forgiven for buying those parts - the standard of the rest more than compensates!!

Rear wings are particularly impressive - were they made from one piece?

I also would like to know the gauge /thickness of the sheeting you used for your panels. Any guess at the total weight of the car--very impressive build. Your body sides and scuttle look like one piece, did you join and fill or is there a seam in there somewhere that cant been seen.

Really nice looking car mate! Congratulations!

Also, like Peteff said- what are the regulations for self-build cars like out there?

all the best,

James

That is some really impressive metalwork.

Well,still I don't know the total weigth ;but has to be arround 500K.
The sheet is#20, may look to tick but especialy in the rear winds it work great.
I have to take it to the inspection and we are not prety sure about the paper work and regulation and maybe the inspeccion office doesn't to becouse as long as I know is the first proyect like this in my country.
They have someting like that with the buses factory , they take a truck like Volvo or Isuzu remove the cab and built a body and do a new registration,so I hope ,not to have many troubles with it.

Very nice work, it's an impressive looking car.

Very pretty car, nice workmanship. Those wheels are nice too

Nice looking car, well finished, must be very rare in Costa Rica.

What part of Costa Rica are you from? I worked in Costa Rica back in 1999 and fell in love with the place. A fantastic country and really friendly people that know how to party. Very fond memories.

I live in Grecia ,Alajuela,close to the Poas volcano,this is a very nice place,and is near from every were,becouse we are allmost in the center of the country.
Ans yes the car is very rare here,buy the moment is the only one in its clase and the people is crasy about it.
The last picture was the first day that we took it to the race track,wasn't ready a this time but any way the newspaper took pictures and now we have it ready for a parade in cristmas and the nex car show.

Hola Hombre! Tu carro es fantastico. Uno de los mejores que he visto en mi vida!

The shape is lovely. The color is gorgeous, the quality of the build appears top notch.

I bet you have a LOT of good roads to drive that pretty thing on too!

Steve Graber

Thank's for your coments,but the big problem that we have now are exactly the roads,they are in a terrible condition,so I have to choose where to drive it.
We have a lot of preaty places to go ,but the trouble is to get there.
Maybe one day this will be over.
