I can't wait to see the end result ! I'm glad to see you are back !
Sounds good ! I haven't received a PM from you. You'll love the twins with the 3.5. The acceleration is stupid fast.
Look forward to seeing the build progress ur in good hands.
Thank you everyone for your kind words. Things have been slow as Gil and I have been waiting on various things to arrive. I guess now would be a good time for a little update!
The Madonna Kit has reached the US and cleared Customs, it should be delivered to Gil's place by Wednesday!
The GT One Hood and Trunk is still an unknown as I have not heard anything on the production schedule. more to follow on this...
Alec will be doing a complete set of LED Tails for the car very shortly (Thanks Alec!). This will be a complete set with center (Includes turn signals).
I also received a Comptech Harness Bar that I purchased from Hrant (Thanks Hrant!). This will help tremendously with the choice of seats selected for this build.
Gil sent me a little teaser picture with his amazing Magnum Grey Pearl NSX, which I thought I too good not to share.
More updates very soon!

Im 2hrs south between waco and austin, Chris resides in VA.
I'm one of the two that I've heard about, I've yet to see them though and mine has only been in the area for a short time.

Madonna arrived like a virgin!!!
Cheesy isn't it? Plans are to build a custom one similar to what was done on my past sorcery kit.
Sideskirts will be adjusted with a minor change to styling cues from Route KS
Rear bumper is a bit a iffy, Chris and I will discuss possible changes to the lower half with a few surprises once the kit is mocked up on his ride.
Analysis upon inspecting a freshly made kit for future/possible owners, the kit quality is on par with what I have expected from FRP of this caliber. Surface is quite flat with minimal blocking. Fitment to be determined once the car is finalized in preparation of initial mock up. I noticed from my kit and this new one, there have been subtle improvements within build quality and materials used. So far so good, crossing fingers.
More to come!

Just a few teaser shots that Gil sent me (Yeah Gil, I am certainly impatient, but just too excited not to post..lol)!
The front end disassembled
Initial mock up before bolting all hardware down
Don't worry, those tiny brakes will be replaced shortly...
First initial test fitment. Will need some layering, sectioning and gap fixing per Gil.
More to follow shortly...

Its getting there, currently working the alignment of all the panels before I start cutting and perfecting the plug (widebody) before moulding.
wow……… this is gonna be sick! what kinda wheels are going on this bad boy??
I wanted to go a different route than traditional deep dish wheels, so a set of BC Racing HB05s will be going on as well as a set of gold anodized WP Brakes thanks to Brandon with GT Theory!
Coming a long very nicely!!!
I assume you are retaining the original body panels 01a4man?
