Here's a Lotus Elise that I just finished up the other day. The owner apparently thought it was offroad worthy and learned otherwise!:eek:

With only 40 of this particular model ever produced, parts were hard to come by!:spineyes:

Here are a few pics.

:rolleyes:

I don't drive any of em and I've had some bad bad toys through here. I did take a ride with the guy though and can tell you, it WILL do 100 mph in 3rd gear like it's nothing! For an older guy, he can drive the hell out of a car!!!

He definately had me grabbing for oh sheet handles!:help::*****:

Nice Lotus and you do some great looking work....no don't those are fast cars.
I know of a 'play toy' car that has hit the streets of the Lake Charles area four days ago that would probably take the Lotus.

Oh yeah, it's by no means the fastest out there. It was just impressive to me that it all came out of a supercharged 4 cyl.

The owner even complained that it wasn't as fun open roading as the FOUR Vipers he's had! :spineyes::spineyes:

Thanks to you and everyone for the compliments on the work!

Oh yeah, it was all aluminum and composite...NO WOOD so, it won't rot!:*****: That sucker made boat repairs feel like a walk in the park! Tight and no working time on the materials before it started setting up!
