Tavarish, this was a really great project! Your next HUGE project should be building a supercar or hypercar for Jared that he can actually get into, out of, and drive in complete comfort and un-cramped. Get an SLC chassis, modify it for his dimensions for leg room and head room, his choice of engine and transaxle, then have a Viewer Design Contest for the exterior and interior design and have you and Jared decide the best viewer designs. Have your local composites people make the body and interior pieces and finish it out for SEMA 2022 or 2023 and as a gift to Jared for being such an awesome friend and amazing help for your projects.

I'm an artist as well and though I don't work in paint I totally appreciate those that do, specifically those who work in watercolor. $35 for that print for that person for this channel was an absolute no brainer. I know that they will sell out very quickly and that will in turn provide him with more quality for the time he has left.

[@johnfrench9608]

As a British person I am ashamed to see how much Mclaren take the piss on their parts prices. They are having a Girrafe at you. Fine job you have done on that there Jam Jar.

[@WolvenSpectre]

To be fair, most of the people who buy these don't see those prices as troubling and are told that is what it will cost going in. When you are buying stuff like that you are buying the brand and the quality knowing that there is a low run on any parts and most stuff is not standard. I can't remember who it was but it was a UK car reviewer that said that when you buy one you double the price you pay for everything that goes with owning and maintaining one and just think of it as the cost of the warranty package. I look at it as if you don't dive it much and it never gets into an accident you get a discount of the real price McLaren wants to make off each car. Me, I think I would have a custom car built for that money, but then again I am not a rich car guy. You don't want to know how much I would pay for my computers if I was rich.

Two other questions - how much time do you think you spent on this, and what are the labor costs associated with that? And what about paying your friend that helped you out so much - are those costs in there? Also, would be good to know how you kept everything organized. With so many parts involved, and very specific steps to disassemble and reassemble something so complex, it'd be good to get an understanding of how you kept track of everything. Also, great job!

[@tavarish]

The only labor that was factored in was labor that was charged on body work, carbon repair work, and vinyl work. All other work was done by me and a few others. All in there is about 3000 man hours in the project.

As an example, I put xpel ppf on all of my C7 when I bought it new. 30,000 miles later, I still have zero scratches, rock chips, or anything. The film is also self healing when it gets scratched. This means you can also wash your car any way you like without worrying about damaging the paint and getting micro scratches/swirl marks etc. I've replaced sections of the film over the years as they can get torn by larger rocks etc in places to keep it fresh/protected, but yeah. Paint is still perfect, and you can't even tell it's there. Also especially since you are in Florida, I would put clear tint on the Windshield. You can get tint that is 80%+ clear that blocks 99% of UV and like 40% heat. I also have this on my C7. You cannot tell that it is there from a visibility standpoint, but it will greatly help in keeping the interior protected from the sun as well.

Wow, no corners cut on this build but you're missing a few small items! I have the twin of this car w/o the scoop. 1. Side skirt chrome 675LT emblems near the front of each door 2. The Pilot Sport 4 tires are great in the winter but a major let down for the rest of the year. This car is MAGICAL when pushing the limits on Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3R tires. Heat these babies up and you are glued to the road and giggling while your passenger gently weeps. 3. The Frunk liner?

NEVER reveal the real cost to your WIFE!!!

Oh, that old car? We've had that beat up old piece of Hoovie hooptie for a long time. Just working on it here and there. Say Honey, is that a new dress?

[@spittinvenom9671]

Real cost? Never heard of her.

[@BenRawlins1]

Sat here watching every single episode from start to finish once again just because I can. I wouldnt even be looking at other 675LT's to compare it to because you can't. To add all that work in once again to guarantee you know every bolt is safe while driving must be worth so much more. Its got a long way to fly, but I'll look forward to a print in the new year

...at the end of the day, it's still a salvage title.

[@reggien737]

Youre 100% wrong. Its a rebuilt title.

[@kewrock]

@@reggien737 Idon't know about the rest of the country. But in NY, a MV907A rebuilt title makes a car basically worthless. Regardless of the rebuild job quality. You will most likely never get any kind of fire/theft/collision insurance on it. If you can get a company to issue a replacement policy, it will be at a drastically reduced value. I know a McLaren is never truly "worthless". But it will NEVER, EVER be valued anywhere near a "clean" title. You can knock off 75% of the retail value regardless of how "mint" it looks.

[@reggien737]

@@kewrock You dont know what youre talking about. R titles reduce 25% of value. Thousands sold in the US everyday. Ive sold numerous R titles, a few R title diesel rams at total Value due to demand, and Im only a few hours from NY.

@@reggien737 OK . You spend a quarter of a million dollars on a car that was wrapped around a tree, front and back.
