The 'Mazzer' roadster is Wil de Groot's unique, custom built dream car. An 'after hours' labor of love of the automotive variety. Based on a Maserati Quattroporte donor car and loosely designed in the spirit of a Maserati 450s, our blog details the entire process of building a car from scratch. This is NOT a replica and does not pretend to be a Maserati, rather a deliberate union of vintage and modern elements and style.

Clyde, cutting a sheet of .080" #6061 aluminum to make the cover panel for under the transmission and drive-shaft on a band saw.
Aluminum panels to cover the center, bottom of the car (under trans and engine) for streamlining and chassis rigidity. They're being held in place here by temporary quick release fasteners called clecos. The panels were more permanently with flat-head stainless machine screws.
Front lower A-arms in preparation for disassembly, media blasting, primer, paint, new ball joints and hardware.
