Raw Brokerage's War Machine Vert Build!

Post by **Coolwhip** » Fri Dec 12, 2008 5:43 pm

So it's come time to get back to this vert that has been sitting for awhile now.

As mentioned in a previous thread the car was bought with the intention to be built for personal use. However, I have changed plans and will be building my vert for company purposes. Since right now we don't have a budget for a full fledged race car build, I decided to use my next car as the platform.

To bring this whole feeling home to everyone, I'll be building the car at home. (Plus there is no space and limited time to do such at the shop we operate at).

For those who mentioned/thought that Raw Brokerage (http://rawbrokerage.com) was just a parts shop that moved RB parts, think again...

The focus of the build is to make the ultimate street car, that is trackable while maintaining daily drivability.

Hopefully next year we'll be able to build something extreme but for now this will do, enjoy...

No ETA, when it's done it's done type of thing. Slow time = slow build.

Will be doing some open class fun with NASA and other type of racing.

So finally got the rims that will be going on the vert...

So the 255 needed a bit of stretching, hope everyone approves

Post by **TIMELSS_vert** » Mon Dec 15, 2008 7:37 pm

no questions here Coolwhip, that serious of a stretch on a 255 means some nicely sized wheels Now quit teasing us and show us the faces!!
