The black slc looks killer, I'd love to see it without all that interior crapet hiding the beautiful aluminum.
Can we get a close up of the badge that was on the slc? |

| Re: Any Pictures from Carlise yet???!!! yep....you are.
It was revised when I was able to have access to Ricardo transaxles .
I wanted a one size fits all production rear subframe and changing the packaging on the rear suspension was required.

Your car is a fantastic color combo. May I ask what paint that is?
Best,

RCR40 parked at Fran's shop,
Parnelli Jone 302 garage mate | Hi Howard -
Yup, I search for good pictures of the car and that was one of my favorites - thank you for taking it and sharing it with everyone! I hope you don't mind me highjacking it for my Avatar.
I should mention that I just visited with Fran yesterday and he was as accomodating as can be - especially considering he didn't know what time I would be there (neither did I unfortunately). I was able to see and HEAR the shop SL-C .....it is AWESOME!!!! The finish on the fiberglass is first rate with mold lines that are almost invisible. The suspension and chassis is quite literally a work of art. I'm going with a TT Lexus V8 but the LS-7 looks and sounds amazing - coupled with the Ricardo it must be amazing to drive. Fran was kind enough to show me the stock of windshields, steering columns, wheels, brakes, suspension components, on and on - really beautiful stuff. I can't wait for my car to be completed.
I know that we are all involved in "kit cars" at some level. I have to say that the SL-C goes way beyond any "kit car" I have ever seen. Yes, I'm biased because I've purchased one but the sophistication, fit and finish of this car is really impressive.
Dave L

Rep Power: 9  | Re: Any Pictures from Carlise yet???!!! Dave, TT Lexus V8, fantastic choice. The amount of torque those engines produce when turbo charged is staggering. That is going to be a seriously fast car. |

Rep Power: 6  | Re: Any Pictures from Carlise yet???!!! Wow... The black SLC looks about as bad ass as a car is gonna get.
Hadn't considered one as a future build before but I will definitely be following it more closely now. Can't wait to see what some of your customers are going to make out of them!
