    Riff - I don't think anyone believes it would ever be mass produced. But as others have noted it seems like it would be much harder for a custom shop to reproduce the body panels from pictures (no matter how many there are) rather than detailed CAD models.

    You never know what might happen to the prototype - the museum closes someday, they auction it off to some private collector who buries it in a warehouse somewhere. Would be good to get the designs while it's still available.

    workin' out the details. Will let you guys know a date. I'm assuming a Saturday is the best? I think the Johny Rockets is now open inside the museum so we can do a lunch thing there too.
    Call me a geek, or maybe even nerd, but face the facts, we da ones be rulin' this world!

    Peterson has the convertable, the 4-door, and the axiom truck. The concept is elsewhere. I smell a VX meet happening!!

    of all the axioms... that's the one i don't like... the convertible was sharp as was the sporty version

    i'd need to rearrange some funds but i hope to be able to make it...

    I'm in for sure. It will be my first meet as a new VX owner, and the museum is not that far from me.

    Yeah I agree, any shop could custom fab this up (at your expense) but if anyone was really going to put up the money to make another VX-02 they would probably want it to be as close to the real thing as possible and not just some dudes closest guess, so yeah get some CAD models if possible.
