Im kind of disappointed with the Roadstershop so far.Our chassis was to be done in mid Jan 2022,then it went to mid March and its now Mid April.Only way I got any updates was to look for them myself.I think this deal is going to be like $18000 so I expected a little better service.FWIW,Tom

As usual the shop is backed up,he has to test fit the body to the chassis before he sends it to be powder coated.The trans is almost done,the engine is in assm now.Not sure if the owner has bought his wheels and tires yet.The original engine and trans is sold.Buyer will be picking it up in the next couple weeks.This will be a long one IMO.Tom

Been awhile,got the 455 built,got the 200R delivered.Went to the shop yesterday and they were test fitting the body on the Roadster Shop chassis.It will be taken apart and off to be powder coated.Not sure if the body will be painted before or after mounting.Baby steps.Tom
