Look at all that extra room you have in your garage. You need to buy some more cars and parts Kevin!

It must have been very intense to build these cars new in a day and a half. Of course they were production cars with a throw-it-together in 30 seconds (because that is how long you have for your operation).

In taking proper time, I'm sure Kevin will put it together with much love.

Over the years I have been lucky to work at a lot of assembly plants and watch the cars go down the line

A non car person would see a frame and components on pillows and think you are nuts. Car nuts like us see it and understand you have your priorities straight.
