Posted on September 23, 2025 by Nicole Smith in What's New

Damon, along with his sons Adam and Alex K., recently picked up the first production-ready carbon fiber Coupe body! It wasn’t too long ago that they were picking up their 30th Anniversary Coupe build! In just a few months, he and his sons got the project rolling. Now they’re swapping out the original body for the new full carbon fiber body!

Under the hood is a Gen 4 Coyote engine paired with a T-56 transmission. Damon’s also in the process of installing a custom Apple CarPlay stereo system to complete the interior setup. He will be coating his body in a House of Kolor carbon fiber dye.

Damon is officially the FIRST customer to install our full carbon fiber Coupe body and will be coating the carbon body in House of Kolor Blue carbon fiber dye. Congratulations to Damon, Adam, and Alex on their top-tier anniversary build!
