Hybrid Racing Del Soul Feature FTW!!

Since the car was going straight to the body shop after everything was taken off, the time available with the car was very minimal. Parts were being ordered left and right and they were going on as fast as they were coming in. This was a team effort with one goal in mind: to make it to Import Alliance 2009. Needless to say, the car made it!

Everyone at the meet stopped and looked, took pictures, and asked questions about it. In fact, this is exactly how I met the HR team. I was walking around the meet talking to people, riding my scooter with my awesome hat, and I came across this car. I was pretty much in love with it instantly and had to know more about it. So I started talking to Dave about the car and what had been done to it. During our conversation he noticed I had a decent camera with a wide angle lens and he asked me to take a couple pictures of it. So, I took some pictures of the engine bay and a few other shots and chilled at the booth for the rest of the day. The next week I edited and sent the photos to HR. This opened the door for me to start making their stickers (the free ones you get when you buy something from HR) and talking to them about doing a Kswap. So, we discussed it and I decided to sell all my B-series stuff to get a K20 going in my car. After a couple months and a handful of successful sticker batches, I got a phone call from David asking me to take a trip down to the shop because the owner (Will) wanted to interview me for an open position. I made a trip down to the Bayou State and spent the day here at the shop. I talked to Will and had an interview, and then we all went out to chill and hang out. After a long month I moved here to work for Hybrid full time!

So, the moral of the story is: I took a pictures that changed my life! Ok, so now on to the Del Sol since I got side tracked… damn ADHD!

I love the attention to detail in every part of the Del Sol. From the Dupont battleship gray outside, to the amazing artwork of the graffiti engine bay, there was nothing left untouched on this car. It is still hard to believe that this car was built in such a short amount of time. IA was a huge success and opened doors for me as well as the shop. Even though we did not have the Del Sol at IA this year, it will be back! We are in the process of changing up a few things and if you keep checking the site you will be the first to see the changes!
