The project lasted one year, which is pretty quick for a build with so many hard-to-find parts and such immense attention to detail. On the other hand, the exclusive parts helped the tab reach $50,000 faster than Jamaican Olympian Usain Bolt. However, the funny part is that Henry expected to be done in six months. "It took longer than I expected because the bodywork took so long," he says. Naturally, his direct connection to Sorcery and GT-One helped him secure parts in weeks, instead of months. "If I weren't a parts distributor, the build would have taken a lot longer," Henry admits.
The NSX is almost complete, according to Henry, but he's still looking to make some minor improvements where it needs them most-under the hood. Some individual throttle bodies and a massive engine bore upgrade are planned and should provide a good dose in horsepower. "I'm NA all the way," he says. He's also ordered a custom air suspension, which has some of us scratching our heads since the NSX already looks like it has a perfect stance. But much like most projects that start off with modest intentions, this one is a shining example of how ideas and creativity can spiral into a much more grand end result.
