Default DGR Fab x VERTEX | JZS160 Multipurpose Build Street/Track = FUN!!! (PICS)
Thought I'd share my build with you guys. It will be ongoing and I'll be putting most of the updates on my blog, but I'll be sure to post updates here also. Just a quick intro before I start posting pics and stuff so you guys know what to expect here are my last 2 cars - after my 13th S-chassis (yah 13) I decided to take a break and try something different... a sports luxury sedan!

BN Sports USA S13

VERTEX x Carmake T&E S14


I recently purchased my 2GS from this nice young lady Rena... she gave me an awesome deal on a very clean high milage chassis. Thanks Rena!


Headed over to the smog place and took care of the DMV junk...


Then over to my friend Mark's house to show him the new project... he showed me some cool plastic cleaner he had that actually worked the first time no problem...



Before I could take pics of the whole car I brought it to DGR Fabrication in Redwood City, CA to get started gutting and stuff... if you guys go there you'll meet Tucker!



As for plans... you'll see the progress realtime. Some new parts may pop up during/after this build that some of you might be interested in... But in the end I hope to have a simple/clean/mild HP car that I can use for all kinds of amateur competitions and track events!

Just want to say thanks to Dan at DGR Fabrication for helping me with this build and all of my past builds!

That's all for now...

This sounds like its going to be fun to follow. Looking forward to the build photos.

PS: That looks like it may be Novus plastic polish to me.
