Thanks man!! You really do have to see it in person, it's hard to tell the colors in pics unfortunately :/ But I don't expect everyone to like everything about the car, a lot of it is a love/hate kind of thing.

Also a bit frustrated that I couldnt capture how aggressive this thing looks from the rear. It looks tall in pictures but driving behind this thing you'd think it was 10 feet wide. Looks so nuts!

Thanks homie love the pics!!!!! It is so bizarre how the color really is hard to capture. I thought going with a solid graphic color with no metallic or pearl would solve that! I should have expected it with house of kolor color I guess lol. The rear end is my favorite part of the exterior, I let Tom drive it so I could see it rolling and man the car does look nuts in motion!! Had a great time meeting/chilling with ya man!

If you're ever down to meet half way I'd love to get some shots of it outside the show/meet environment. I know there's gotta be some way to capture the real color. Just need more time to mess with it

Figured I would chime in again on this build. Wanted to thank you Kj for allowing me to do the work on your car I did! I had a great time spending late nights shootin the shit and doin work! It's weird now to not be working on it haha lets paint it again! Haha jk. The car turned out so well! I think this is my favorite one so far! Even better than the yolo yellow car haha. I'm glad you are happy with it and I hope a lot of you guys get to see this car in person this year!

Oh yea you forgot to update the color name, MVT haha

Time for a long overdue update!

The car has been at my buddy Mark's new custom fabrication shop (Origin Fab) here in Atlanta the last few months... He specializes in precision titanium welding among many other things. He is giving it the full treatment! Custom wire tuck, partial shave, custom Ti lines, custom fab turbo manifold, downpipe, dumptubes, custom Ti bracing, crossmember, etc etc.

We have been gathering pictures so figured it was a good time to update this thread!




I will start off with a few pictures for now and update this thread tomorrow!
