There are some very original MK4 honeycomb replicars being built right now. These cars are being built from original prints and take all original parts. Heres a pic or 2 that show whats available if your interested in authenic copies of those million dollar cars.

[Scott Calabro]

Looks familiar Jay

Any weight numbers on those tubs yet?

Cheers,
Scott

[Jay Cushman]

They are very light. As the originals, most of the aluminum is .026 and .032 and once bonded together very strong. I think 2 small panels would hold a complete car up off the ground as jackstands. I have some scraps here and the stuff is amazing.

[Scott Calabro]

I agree!

Yes. I have received the same photo thru several emails. I was told today that all the tubs are finish.

[Gregg]

Thanks Jim. I figured that it was a picture of Kenny's work. If I'm not mistaken, all tubs are spoken for at a price tag of $450k.

[Jay Cushman]

Yes they are Kennys project and the tubs are not for sale unless you buy the whole car. And 1 car might make it to Elkhart Lake this summer. And yes some of our parts are on those cars as well.

I am not sure how you could have recieved those pics in an email as I took all but 1 of them and have never emailed them to anybody

[JimmyMac]

Here's a clue, your second photo has a file name of "K Thompson 001"

[Jay Cushman]

I took them and named them, who would need a clue?

This is the picture Mr Tom Monroe send me yesterday. He had send me before some other pictures and James Holden had send me another bunch.

Jay,

fascinating project.

Just out of simple interest: What stuff are you using for bonding the panels?

Best,
Marcus

[Jay Cushman]

This is not my project, my hands are full with the Mk1s and these cars are over my head. Kenny Thompson in Denver NC is building these cars.

Or you can always buy this one advertised for €145 000. With 30000km on the clock it does work. At best could be one of the Nostasia/Rod Leaches cars.
