Not my cup 'o tea, but interesting none the less.
Question: How does one go about the glass on these customs? There was a guy in Pueblo that used to cut windshields down. You had to give him 3 windshields and he usually got it on the 2nd or 3rd. I imagine he's teats up now. |

I cut my own glass. Took lots of practice and building my own equipment but it usually takes 2 tries. The most important thing is the template and understanding the tension on the glass.

Congratulations! Nice car.
I feel your pain about putting the car away for 4 months. |

I normally do not like the speedster look, and this car is a little over the top, but I must say that I do like it none the less. That's some pretty damn good skills!

I generally don't like customs, but yours is really nice. I like the chopped roof. You must be a professional body man. Nice job. You should add some pictures to the thread, as those on the other site were not nearly detailed enough.
Keep up the good work.

thanks, I don't expect everyone to like it, I just like to share it.
This is my 1st real build with major body work. I loved every minute of it and learned a lot. I am shopping around for my next project... not that this one is done but the major work is all set. here is the link to my actual build start to finish. LINK

Wow, regardless of whether its "your cup of tea" or not, noone can argue that you deserve respect for your craftsmanship and attention to detail. Beautiful!
I read in the article you plan to update the bumpers, I think that 964 bumpers would add alot, or fiberglass front with front mounted oil cooler. Nice work!!!!!! ![]()

This thing is awesome! The lines/color/and just the overall look is fantastic! You deserve the positive press and recognition for your work sir!
I must say that the Nemisis nameplate on the rear is icing on the cake! If there was a word to replace Porsche, that would be it! Nice work.

Cutting glass made easy.
First...find a company that has a very large Laser cutting machine (the one I saw was amazing). Next...contact the owner...or operator and bargain with him as to how many cases of beer for a quick cut....LOL One cut...takes about 10 seconds...all over....and the accuracy is just rediculous. I found my guy in Hamilton Ontario...to cut down a windshield for my FiberFab Avenger (cost me 2 cases of beer and the promise of a ride). Have fun. Bob
