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?

The SLC has set a new standard for the kit-car industry.

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.

I have recent (yesterday) pictures of the nose badge and the car but I can't upload them for some reason.

Re: Any Pictures from Carlise yet???!!!

Hey Dave,

As Fran said , "Nice avatar". I am glad you could use it! You are in for a real treat, if you have an SL-C on the way!

You will have the nicest car in walleye nation!

Cheers,
Howard

Dick,

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

Best,

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!
