Customer Rodney A. Graduates his Mk4 Roadster!

Posted on March 6, 2020 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

Customer Rodney A. from Bakersfield, CA sent us an e-mail the other day sharing the news that he has officially graduated his Mk4 Roadster build! Rodney started his build in March 2018, and his goal was to build a modern version of the American classic.

Rodney installed a new Ford Gen 3 5.0L Coyote mated to a TKO-600 with hydraulic clutch. He also installed all LED lights, push button start, E-Stopp electric parking brake, heated seats, and bluetooth stereo.

The paint was done my Jeff “Da Bat” Miller. It’s a tri-color Deep Impact Blue, Race Red, and Pearl White.

“This was a lifetime dream, and I dint want to cut any corners,” wrote Rodney. “I couldn’t be happier with the results and the friendships I’ve made along the way.”

These photos were taken Rodney’s daughter Hailey Williams at Archer Inspired.
