11/1/10 Update

We have received our clients Bentely GT from Los Angeles, CA @ GMP Performance based in Charlotte, NC. We always use Horseless Carriage, great on price and extremly quick to pick up and deliver. It was picked up on a Monday and delivered on the following Saturday. Then a couple days later the air freight from Germany arrived as you can see from the pictures below. The car has been test fitted with the parts as you can also see from below and for the next few days the parts will be going through the sand and prep phase.

Enjoy

As you can see we are in the process of stripping this car down piece by piece. The entire car is getting repainted the "Reventon" finish with Matte Black Accents. All the mirrors and door panels need to be removed and the window trim so that the job looks flawless and OEM.

Some more body work as of this morning.









Making new fender wells to clear the top of the tires



Test fitted the wheels.



Every inch is getting painted "reventon" even underneath all the covers and panels.



Front fenders are off to get trimmed out.
