I asked the same question awhile ago and Sam mentioned a custom tower brace is in the works.

My bad then, I knew there was a solution but was fuzzy on the details.

Hahah... just kidding.

Mike & GTM, how are the drawings coming along?

sorry i haven't been following this regularly but are there any new updates?

i imagine for the strut bar, it'll be custom built and, if necessary, a custom hood.

^ With some keen engineering, that wouldn't be necessary. Look at the 2012 GT-R's smart and stealth placement of the strut bar.

We had to make some adjustments to the mounting tabs for the fuel rails. So, naturally, its taking longer than anticipated.

So Bullitt,
This qustion may not be quite fair at this point since dont have your car back yet and it has been in the shop for over a year, but if you could do this all again.....would you?

First of all my car has been in GTM's possession for only 9-10 months of which 2 months time it has been at other shops and at shows. To answer your question not only yes but hell yes!!! Many people have the wrong ideas of why I did this build or only partial reasons.

So what's the current status on Project White Dragon?
