I believe the number 3 , is the number of bodies Motion bought from John Silva in the beginning.

Until I see paper work I believe the number of Motion/silva bult Macos to be closer to on on 5 not 3,
That's when he was with Silva, I believe silva had a hand in the body work and the cars are made better, note the huge fiberglass hinge mounting plates in the hoods of most compaired to the metal strips in one motion car I have seen. then mr motion made his own molds and those too were Motion Macos just not silva/motion Macos, the high dollar ones are the true motion built stuff, last time I talked to Mr Motion his price starts at 1500.00 to document a car to it being real motion or not.

The number 3 comes from John Silva, through Wayne Ellwood (the man behind Shark Quarterly).

We would like to see an update on that blown vettewagon that corvetteonly is doing as well, They should pull that Mako nose off the wall and put it on that project: (just an idea).

Good Job David. That car looks good. Guess there will be a bunch of folks "borrowing" those pictures now.
