Uber Carbon Fiber build

[PatrickKB]

Hello I just wanted to share some photos of my first scratch build, it is going to be an all carbon fiber and cnc build that is going to be a 5B. I need to first think my friend Dave screen name racerx71 owner of Austintown Hobby in Austintown Ohio, he is doing most of the work for me as I am learning how to build as we go. At this point I am pretty close to a rolling chasis with the exceptions of a few parts, so I will post some pictures to see what you think. Here are the parts that I have so far.

I like the contrast - dark with shiny.
Do you have any 'comparative weights' - yours against standard?
Price? Your problem, as we say !!
Lookin good.
Any choice of wheels confirmed?
Billet Beadlocks, normal? ... Tyres?
Nice project mate.

I have not weighed it since I put it togeather but I know someone that has a SS kit in a roller that we can weight the two and get the weights. So far the price is a little over 2K and counting and I am not sure about the wheels.
