Build it with a K motor and end world hunger! Your 0 to 60 times will drop by 2/100 sec! You'll be smarter than everyone else and taller to boot! Your breakfast cereal will not get soggy and your coffee will always be just right.
Sincerely,
Your K Genie(sarc off)

lol, well the difference is the VR6 and DAZA were actually sold in MQB cars, so there would be no or minimal chassis modification needed.

Exciting stuff when the machining begins - means the design is finalized and production is starting! Delivery of the V2 will be another big milestone in the evolving history of DF Kit Car! :D

We are making the bucks differently this time. This time, I am cutting EPS foam 0.05 undersize, sealing it with UV epoxy, coating it with plastic body filler while still on the Machine, and then recutting the surface to the finished size. We then glue the sections together to form the buck. After that, we will prime, sand, wax, and PVA the business parts of the buck.

We will then be ready to pull a mold. We will apply a layer of tooling gel coat and six layers of fiberglass mat to the prepped surface of the buck. Weld a steel frame together and bond it to the mold. And then hope the mold releases from the buck.

We have 13 molds to make.

Maybe think about 15 molds as if people go with double door bars, I believe it would be good looking to add a panel over those.
