| Re: Any Pictures from Carlise yet???!!! we definetly need some official pictures of the slc, I think you mentioned body on and off of the finished car?!
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

| 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.

| 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!

| Re: Any Pictures from Carlise yet???!!! Those last 3 "official pics" you posted. Is the door gap really that large? I see there is no wondow so I'm assuming there is no latch and its just laying in place there. Is the plan to leave the transmission showing out the rear difusser or is there a black piece to finish it off? Looking mean in all black, keep up the good work!!! |
