Well all 4 are tuned and ready to head to Utah. I used Johns new Blue Thunder axle treatment, it went on the axles really nice.

Your cars look awesome! I was lucky enough to see your 1st cars up close in Kentucky and really like your craftsmanship. I really have to say the neon green wheels fit your unlimited car color perfect! Best of luck with all of them next weekend.

Thanks everyone, I have had a lot of pm's asking how these bodies are made, Here is a brief description of the process:

The carbon fiber composite is .008 twill weave pattern on the top of car and .007 unidirectional fiber on bottom laminated with polyester resin with 1/4" x 1/16" pine edges and 1/4" x 1/4" maple inserts for axles. this proccess takes a special chassis jig to hold all the componets in place while epoxy is curring. Once the body is fully cured the sides are masked, primed & painted with colored base coat urathane, then the entire car is spayed with 3 coats of clear urathane with hardner, allowed to dry 48 hours then color sanded with 3000 grit, compounded then polished with liquid glass. The entire finished body less tungsten weights, axles and wheels is only .34 to .45 ounces. It takes me about 30 hours to make one of these bodies from carbon fiber and resins.
