For what it's worth...
 
If there's other chances to work on other great looking vintage cars, please post the pictures. Specifically my favorite, Maserati Sebring Series II; not overly fast and not super rare either, just very nice. Look at an Aston Martin DB5 design, then look at the Maserati Sebring II design, similar but much fresher and cleaner lines and if it puts down an Aston Martin the proofs in the pudding, nice... :cool:

That is sweet. Saw one last January driven by one LUCKY lady. Would love to have one although a McLaren would be tough to pass up. :D

Just for info.

The laser system to be installed actually jams laser, and it is totally legal.
The radar system is a detector only, as the jammers suck and are illegal so we would not install one for any amount of money regardless.
The front and rear units communicate wirelessly with bluetooth technology and require very little wiring.
They still will not be a cakewalk as I'm sure it is going to be a real pain to even access and mount the units.
The dashboard and instrument cluster will be another can of beans R+R' ing.


Don't ask me why he would even bother, but I guess when you have that much money you could probably sit around all day getting bored by thinking of ways to spend it.

Man, what my 'cuda would be like if I had that kind of money.

It might just be cheaper to throw a police apprecciation benefit party for the law enforcement in his area. :)

Is he going to run Gumball or something like that?

He said he likes it so much he is going to make it his daily driver.

They flew at tech in from france to go over the car with him, and the guy told him we will not have fun trying to run wires in this car as there is literally no tolerances in the design so the bluetooth technology is our only option other than drilling holes through the vehicle which is not going to happen.
