The Rest Of Barrett-Jackson 2019

Well, as you could imagine Barrett-Jackson is now over. We saw just about every car you could ever imagine. We met a lot of wonderful people and spent a few nights out with close business partners and friends. We learn a few things every year we go and will be even more prepared the next time. In the meantime, we have a lot of qualified leads to land! It’s motivating to know that when they get into one of our machines, they will understand why we do this!

Supercars Are Great, But Exclusivity Is Better

There is no doubt that the supercars today are beautiful well performing machines, but nothing is particularly exclusive about them. As long as you have the means, you can have the same model the person before you just purchased. We are all still happy to see a supercar driving down the road, but it just doesn’t have the same appeal as it used to have.

At FormaCars, we offer exclusivity.

Here are a few shots we took as well as a total sunrise timelapse fail for your enjoyment :).

You’ll find that a lot of the major insurers partner with specialty insurance companies or classic car insurers. Don’t fret, though, as it’s not hard to get insurance for your beautiful dreamcar! Here are a few items that you will need:

Should I Hire Someone To Build My Car?

At FormaCars, we bring your dreamcar to life. We build you a vehicle that you will be proud off as people will envy you. We tell new people all the time, when you drive in one of our vehicles, everywhere you go people are in total awe of the quality and beauty of the FormaCars machines. In addition, wouldn’t it be nice to have the peace of mind that you could be enjoying a meal at a restaurant when it starts to rain and not have to worry about running to your car to make sure every delicate electrical component is covered or in a garage. At Formacars our cars are waterproof and durable. Rather than worry, you can actually finish your meal.

These are vehicles that are fully customizable, anti-corrosive, comfortable, livable (we sometimes use the term “creature comfort”). They are luxurious non-compromised machines. And, indeed, fun!

Do I Need A Donor Car When Building A Kit Car?

You’ve started your journey into building your own dreamcar and wondering if you need to have a donor car for your new custom car build. The simple answer is yes and no :). Ha! Not as easy as you thought, huh? There are a few kits that come with just the body, frame, and other components.
