Vehicle Story
We started with a Shadow Rods XL27 body and chassis, from there we went crazy. As a builder we get the joys of building dream cars for others, rarely does the builder get to build a car for them self, we did just that. With basically no limits to what the shop could do to XL27 this is a build that you'll want to sit and study. The Roadster has many custom features the shop has never done before. The car was a perfect platform for us to do some more out of the box thinking and design work.
