Very nice!
Sills and everything. Nice
Rain gutters too? nice
Yeah, I love shiny new, perfect paint. This will be stunning. Had a white 356 B coupe once upon a time. actually it was just off white, going a little toward ivory. Red insides. Loved that car . . .
Like I said on FB, I can't wait to see the finished product. 
Sunroof an option ??
Seduction has these pictures listed on their facebook page - Are you guys building this together?
This is our clients car. Not sure why Alex has these posted as his clients. Please remove. Building this for the CEO of Intel. He previously bought a few 550 Spyders from us that we built as well.
Wow!
This should be interesting

No Crazy. You know how hard it is just to make a regular coupe? Oooo, but a sunroof would be nice. Dang it, now you got me thinking about it.
A sliding rag top would be cool
And a new reality show "The Real Replica Builders of SOC"

I think someone already makes one. It's called a Speedster or something like that. 
Sliding Rag top would be real nice if it can be done without sacrificing too much headroom. On the other hand, a coupe is a coupe, you want the real sun experience, a roadster wins Ray
Just to clear up some possible confusion. Vintage Motorcars Inc. (us) made the molds off of an original Pre A coupe. We lay up and make the bodies, hang the doors, hood, and deck lid. We sell them in various stages of kits all the way to full turn keys. If a company wants to buy one of our coupes and do a build on it with there flair and specifications there is noting wrong with that and us promoting our product is in no way disparaging someone else's work or finished product.
Pretty sure Ruff does not slam Porsche for promoting or selling a 911. Ruff made the car, but Porsche made the body and platform. What's the big deal? I don't see it.
The statement of "our client", is just that, "our client". We are not claiming a FINAL client away from one of our clients.
With that being said. The coupe is an amazing product that we are proud to have brought forth. We will be driving out to Cars and Coffee with our Slate Grey Coupe for a little show off and tell.
Sounds like Daniel was/is the "confused" one 
No, definitely no confusion on my end. We're going to be making some changes.
Howzabout driving out to Cars and Coffee on the east coast (Charleston, SC) as sort of a shake down trip? I know we would all love to see it and provide valuable commentary after all of the test drives that I know you'd let us have. 
TECHNICALLY in this situation Seduction is a client of Vintage and in Alex's original post he just said the car was painted for a client of theirs without identifying the client.
Daniel (Seduction) stated before he doesn't build the shell. He sources the shell and builds the car, quite beautifully I should say based on the photos. Much like a painter sources the canvas then puts a masterpiece on top of it.

I think that's an excellent idea. And, I would want to drive it cross country instead of towing or shipping it out. Lord knows I can use a paid vacation. Plus, can't leave the car in just any old place, so nice hotels are a must.
We have plenty of those in Charleston, some dating back centuries and properly haunted. 
PLAN B: Drive it to Carlisle in May!

So why not post pictures of the car (Slate Grey) you're building?
Who's paint booth is the white one coming out of?

We contract a spray booth with our painter. It's next to impossible to have an onsite spray booth in CA for us and moving out of state is not really an option.
Pics of the Slate Grey Coupe. I've posted pics before on several threads.
You can check them out on our website ( http://vintagespyders.com/356-pre-a-coupe/ ). We are waiting to show the driving car with some parts we are rolling out as well (wheels) for a grand unveiling. It's our shop car and we use it to R&D and promotions. That is the one I hope to drive to Carlisle in May.
We put a motor in it and then decided to go bigger, then we tossed the idea of gear changes, wheel changes, sticker changes, and the biggest argument always seems to be Driver Changes. Me first......
So the white one is sprayed by your painter?
crhemi (Bill) posted:So the white one is sprayed by your painter?
Yes. We have a real quality booth that we pay per car for use and our painter sprays the cars in that booth. We do all the prep work, masking, and paint them, etc. We just don't have an onsite spray booth. California rules for spray booths makes it next to impossible or cost effective. California even tells us how many spray cans we can have onsite at any one time. It's really tough.

Link is missing some pics.
Coupes rule....beautiful...just f'ing beautiful...
OK, I'm now totally confused about who is building what...
I dunno...
Alex is on first, Daniel is on second and the client is on third!
What's there not to understand?
Sounds like Alex prepped and painted the coupe and sold it to Daniel to finish for his client.
Unless I'm confused. Either way:
Robert, quit confusing everyone and just tell us who the client is...sound like there may be more than one!!!
Dan Stewart posted:Robert, quit confusing everyone and just tell us who the client is...sound like there may be more than one!!!
I can't tell you, you're not a Monk.
Am I on "Candid Camera"?
Ok, forget the interjection on us announcing a product that we offer. Just know we build and sell Coupes that vary in stages to complete turn keys.
You want a coupe, we got coupes..........
And a mighty fine coupe at that. We can't wait to see the finished product by either of you two.
I hope to be in the coupe market by next spring...
The main Client is Brian Krzanich.......... CEO / Intel I've sent him an email asking a few questions ..
As far as the Clients A, B, & C .......... Well I think its the Client of the first party of the second party who's actually the Client. Because If Client B, whom we all presume is Client C, actually Turned out to be Client B. Then Client C is actually Client B disguised as Client C selling to Client A (Brian Krzanich)
DAMN and I never thought all those law classes would amount to anything!!
easy peasy my little minions!!

Well, if it gets blacked out trim and acres of diamond-pleat, I'll have to get "butthurt", and go all "keyboard warrior".
