Replica Kitcar industry Legends

[illuder]

I'm setting up a Hall of Fame board or Legends Board on my site 360.illuder.com
Can you please nominate whuch builder deserves to be on there? and why? Maybe a 20 word history on him.
Multiple nominations welcome, i'll use the mictures of the wordings you have for them.. Builders can be anyone who'se made a good name by making a kitcar body for production resale. not once off for personal use. Any ideas/suggestions?

[FataLDeath]

Extreme

He makes the best (in my opinion), most accurate, and incredibly great looking cars, ive havent seen anything as good as extremes! ;D

22 words...opps!

[The Boss]

first on my mind Robert at exotic glass
Mike Vetter and John Watson of course

[KWUN]

My vote would be for Darrell Kirban. He was the "D" in D&R Replcas. If you could have seen the fit & finish of his cars at past Carisle shows you would agree. Also he brought the standards up for the diablo replicas. He had a book out, still may have it, something like Tips for building replicas ( that doesn't sound correct maybe somebody else can remember the name).

When it comes to legends, then you need to include Bill Tritt and his 1950s Glasspar.

I would also include Richard Oats with his Sterling design.

[360-cor]

john watson is air-dynamics or 360-cor.com

[kitcarnut]

I would say Ray from IFG, he's the one that started with the Lambos 5000s then 25ths.

[KWUN]

Please note Darrell Kirban is no longer with D&R. He started his own Kirban Customs & I believe his main focus now is Corvette aftermarket products.

[1988Mera]

Bob Bracey, Corporate Concepts, designed and marketed the Mera. The Mera is the car most all 308 and 328 kit cars were molded off of. 247 made. Sold only as a new car at Pontiac dealers. Never sold as a kit and never installed on a used Fiero.
