Looking good martin.
Is there a brief spec you can release, or is it on on a suprise basis?
Obviously we know what box your using, but what about beam, suspension, brakes, engine rough spec?

I'm new on passionford - relatively speaking, but there's no mistaking the fame of this vehicle and the creators.
I've known about this since i drove my first ford 4 years ago and after seeing the last one end up the way it did, this is the only method of replacing it i, like many, would agree is truly fit.
This is no doubt going to be a tool. Anyone whom doubts will obviously be overtaken and then, most likely, toasted with exhaust flames.
It's a superb project and one that will inspire young and old enthusiasts for many decades to come, so thankyou for inspiring such pleasure with your creation.
This may sound difficult to answer, but is there any way you can give us kids an idea on the cost of a project this size? Bit by bit, so purchasing the shell, having the roll cage fabricated and then installed and so on.
I'm aware the shell must be rarer than a horse that rocks above its own poo and the cages are in excess 20k, but is there anyway you can document even an approximation so that those of us without dreams can have some whilst doing those rediculous hours?
I, like many shall watch and avidly await the final product, so thankyou for bringing this legendary weapon for us to see - we watch with open jaws.

C-J, not sure what the total cost would be, but to undertake something like this I would expect you'd need to invest quite a lot of your own time to save on labour and have access to parts at reduced (e.g. trade) price to make it worthwhile.
I'd expect the total cost for a walk in - walk out job to be in excess of what you'd pay for many a supercar.
PS: Shells do exist and have been sold via PF many times. I believe Martin still has an escort motorport shell attached to his workshop's roof beams

Will be a bargain for someone.
