lawdogy2k - yes I did and thought that "stupid" was directed at my post, not to the fact that someone thinks a picture is reason enough to have caused a delay. Extra precautions maybe if the new look is totally rad to the current body design.

Heat is an identified problem with our enclosed engine which may lead to a modified design as are the oversized tires. On the F5 forum a builder used a similar size tire where the fenders would need rolled out an extra two inches...this on a vehicle where the rear was wider than the front to begin with.

There is virtually no cargo space for even a set of golf clubs which may be less desirable or usable. The doors would have to be reworked heavily for the extra weight as mentioned, and also the two side safety bags, the steering wheel and passenger side dash to house the other one (four in total).

Many issues to address and extensive mods. Although Peter says weight will be kept down to 2300 lbs, that will be a tough order to fill.

After viewing the ridgeline, GTO, and Solstice work and quality I have no doubt that Peter is up to the task but brings up the question of time and money.

BTW I do have an email from Peter saying that NO ONE will get a peek at the GTM until it is fully completed, and he seems to be quite sensitive about the issue.

Congrats on your ten mil. shares - wish I had that much.
