We make 30 of the shorties at a time and can't keep them in stock
I have no idea how we will be able to keep them in stock

Are you also offering an upholstered version? If so, it would be a great under hood statement especialy with a tastefully placed potted plant.

Yesterday I went up the fab shop and offered up my mad wiring skills on Jan's GP. I haven't seen his car in months. I was wowed the moment I took a look at that engine bay. The fit and finish is all business. They sent a few major parts out and had then hard anodized black and now installed the engine bay looks pure stealth . Just looks mean.

They should be firing it up this week and start tuning and testing. Hopefully Jan will post up some pics for all to see.

Knowing you, you'll regret it in like a month.
