Default Another Caravaggio wide body

We are building this for the customer who owns the wide body speedster. We took a coupe and converted it into a hardtop coupe just like the FRC cars.

I have a feeling that is going to be one jaw dropping car when it is finished. I'm sure I don't want to know what the finished price is going to be.

These are 'true widebodys'!
The term is so misused on cars with rear fender flares.

The rear side vents flow into the rear wheel well or no? Is there venting in the rear to relieve the pressure build up?

It looks expensive, but I do like the way the "oh **** handle" ties in with rest.

Looking good (as does all of John's work). If I had the $$ I'd love to go with his C5 Widebody package. It's an entire conversion...all top shelf work...hence the $$.

Check it out on his website; under Tuning.

Look forward to seeing this one when it's completed.

I would think that the bulk of the dash would be cost prohibitive from Florida to Ontario.

I still like that dash!


Try mailing a huge dash to Canada to see when the post works it out. You are talking big money!
