How'd that get there? Hmmm, oh well.

Yes, there is bad news. The back-bone of the whole build past away recently. Rest in peace Mehraz. He was a genius in his own right.

Mehraz will be missed. Out of respect for Mehraz and the customer, of course, the GS400 will be completed.

Starting Monday the car will be handed over to the very capable hands of Nelson Racing Engines. Please check out their website (www.nelsonracingengines.com) and their youtube channel (nelsonracingengines).

I will do my best to keep you guys updated with the progress.

Please! make sure they take some pictures because they do some absolutely amazing work. Please keep us updated, again sorry about your friend Mehraz, he will be missed.
