My sisters got her wedding in April, so I'll be back then, so I've given Shane that as a time line I want to drive her out of the shop.
By then it will have been about a 2 year project.
BTW...The DPE wheels arrived, looking very nice.
Only one problem was they came with black centers, I wanted just the plain satin finish.
I found out that "satin" is what they call their satin black (couldn't see that on their web site)
First time a finish is actually a colour.
No biggie, we'll get around that when the time arrises.
Shane likes the black even before I put the order in, it might be a bit too Batman in all black, but very stealth for sure.
If Vorsteiner can't make the rear lid, maybe another idea is to cut out the center of the lid and replace it with a sheet of carbonfiber. I know you can get 4' x 8' sheets on Ebay if not from aircraft suppliers.
