Thank you. I have built a SY Coupe and Vert previously. My computer crashed last year and I lost the pictures of the coupe, but here are a couple of the SY Vert.
My ZY coupe will show up Thursday. I’ll post pics of it when I get it. The whole process was awesome to see it evolve into my exact car. You won’t be disappointed

Thank you SYCobra! Yes sir I will provide updates as I go. Your car is stripped to bare metal, but I still need to sand the plastic parts. Hoping to get that done this week, so I can start painting it this weekend.
You're welcome my friend! Glad you like what you see thus far

Okay all,
With everything going on I have plenty of time sitting at home in front of the TV. So, I finished up the MC Coupe.
Here is the build sheet.
Here are some build pictures.
Here is the completed build.

Would like one built of my car how do I make this happen
So with all the nonsense going on with this corona virus I got home late tonight but to my ZY coupe I had made. I’m extremely pleased with it and I’m really at a loss for words. Glenn was a pleasure to work with throughout the whole process. He keeps you updated as he progresses with the build and even wrapped / packed the car perfectly too. Here’s some pics I shot of it quickly.

Thank you John! That's a bad@$$ picture man. You're the second OW owner to post a picture next to your car. Those kinds of pictures are great! Thank you for posting that!
Really appreciate your feedback and kind words. Very glad you're happy with your build.
PM sent Eddie.

Thank you Blwn89gt! Really appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback and post pictures. Thank you for your comments in your dealings with me. I do my best to ensure people know exactly what is going on with the builds. Especially since I normally only work on these cars during the weekends. So, a few days can go by and I don't want people "wondering" what's going on.
Also, I try to pack the cars thoroughly. I've shipped them in their original Maisto boxes before and due to the post office throwing the boxes around I have had people report things like the wing coming off. So, now I wrap the car in tissue paper and then bubble wrap it tightly so everything is held securely in place. Have not had a single complaint upon delivery since I've been shipping them this way.
Very glad yours arrived with no problems. El Paso to NY is a long trek LOL.
Thanks again for everything and it was a pleasure working with "everyone" who has purchased a car from me.

Hello Everyone!
I received a couple cars yesterday which the owner wants painted SB. One of the cars he sent me was already painted SB. I believe he bought it off eBay, but I'm not sure. He wants me to respray/fix the car.
Once I received the car and inspected it I have to say I know why he wants it redone. Now, overall who ever attempted to paint this car did a very good job. You can tell the car was completely disassembled as there is no overspray on any parts such as the windows, cowl area, wheels or the lights. The front and rear bumpers do have the chin spoiler and rear valance painted black as well. However, the paint job itself and the detail work is lacking. There are no emblems on the car and the third brake light is not painted. The paint job is the correct color and looks decent from some angles, but is in really bad shape in others.
I give the person who attempted to paint this a pat on the back as I think they did some things very well, but need help in other areas.
I also want to show people here kind of a side by side comparison. I'm doing this so people can understand this is not as easy to do as it looks and so people can have a little bit more of an understanding of why I charge what I do in order to do this and provide a top quality product. A lot of times people ask about a build and they are onboard until they see the price. Then I never hear from them again LOL.
This is NOT a bash on the person who attempted to build this SB Cobra (As stated overall I think they did a good job and made a good attempt). I'm just making a comparison so people understand what goes into these builds.
So, here is the SB that was sent to me compared to one of my previous SB builds...……….

Thank you prs97! I applaud people who give this a try. I always encourage people to try to do and learn new things. I know how much work goes into doing something like this. So, if you try it I say "good for you!" This is not for everyone, which is why I offer my services. I enjoy this, but it can be frustrating for some (it is for me too at times).
Thanks again to everyone. I really do enjoy this hobby and give kudos to those who have tried to give this hobby a shot.

That's bad ass man... amazing work hands down
I got mine in a day earlier than expected and that was a treat. My wife heard the mail lady throw my package on the porch and I was at work so naturally I was worried that it would have gotten damage but Glenn pack it up so good that it didn’t phase it thank you for the extra bubble wrap it was packed very good. Now to the important part the cobra was amazing and looked so detail and exactly like my car I will post a pic tomorrow. I will get them side by side but Glenn did a amazing job if you ever have thought about doing it go for it you won’t regret it I promise. Thank you Glenn so much for doing this for me and for such a amazing job I really appreciate it and the quality is excellent.
Thank you 1mod! I'll get her packaged up this weekend and ship her out to you on Monday sir.....
