    Cool Video Vidal!

    No A/C - subtract 2 weeks
    No fancy interior - subtract 6 weeks
    No body work/ body alignment to get it to fit well (wheel wells, rear centered, etc.) - subtract 4 months
    No body modifications - subtract 7 months
    No power door windows - subtract 2 months
    No sanding, no paint - subtract 3 months

    Wow! Taking those "subtracts" into account I'm close to 25 days too !

    And yet, I've seen some go through all you mentioned left out, and look no better...
    Would I build like this? no...absolutely not, but I do have to give some credit where credit is due.

    Didn't mean to discredit at all (jealous yes, discredit no) ... Certainly a worthy feat. They did a tremendous amount of work in a really short time. My apologies if my post came across that way.

    Michael,

    No need to apologize. Having endured the build we knew exactly where you were coming from and it was funny.

    P,
    You missed Michael's intent. However I am curious as to how many finished GTMs have you seen in person? They all look good in the pictures.

    Timmy,
    They really make the GTM look good in that video. Did you catch the cf in the headlight housing? Nice touch.

    I was thinking the same thing...
    The Stig

    Some say, that I only know two facts about ducks, (both being wrong); and that if I could be bothered, I could solve the "da Vinci Code" in 47 seconds...
    All I know is that I'm called "The Stig".

    I cannot relate (as many of you would agree).

    I'm inspired to start a thread titled, "25 Year GTM Build". Would you read it?

    The time lapse video was too cool! I think the car looks great for what appears to be some sort of "track only" breed.
