My GTR Build

I've had a few requests for pics of my build. I don't have a dedicated website, so I stole some space from my wife's website and posted some recent pics here:

Cool car. All aluminum drive train. The interior paneling looks great in black and I'm assuming carbon fiber.

Thanks for your help while I argued with the customs guys trying to import my car.

I must say those C5R valve covers and that intake looks very sharp. Where did you get them?

Very nice, have I seen this car on the club site?

[jschwartz]

Yes, the interior is Carbon. The floor is carbon/balsa/carbon. Sorry about the problems with customs. I wish the article I wrote about US Customs for the club would be posted somewhere useful, like the factory website or the Non Member area of the club site. The intake, C5R valve covers and belt tensioner came from top secret sources close to the C5R Program.

jeffrey,

Have you double skinned the floor, or just panelled on a single side. Does look fantastic, you will have to post to let us know how it holds up to use (scratching the resin etc). What gave you the idea?

What's the line? "The 'vette gets 'em wet."

Holy Toledo, Batman!

Tremendous.

[jschwartz]

The floor's double skinned. One piece of carbon on bottom all the way to the radiator, epoxied and riveted with large head black coated rivets. Followed by balsa wood for the cockpit floor section and another layer of carbon all epoxied together in a sandwich. I'm planning to velcro carpet to the floor to prevent scratches, which can easily be removed for car shows.

I presume with 525 BHP your G50 is gonna get some serious cooling on it?
