Is that a joke? thats pretty funny, but a good way to also get people looking. You would think that if that was such a big deal that they would black out the windows.

its a joke, looks like killeens wife or something did the video, and it makes sense as there doing a build book

Ummgawa 07-02-2008 04:35 PM

Sorry guys...not much to post for today(yesterday). I have one cruddy picture of the door panel. At least you can see the textures here and the red stitching. Tracy did an incredible job. Very very impressed for sure.

Trunk is completed, left and right door panels are complete, front seats and headliner alll done, the rear seat and panels are almost done. Also the carpet is in. The leather they used has a very unique look and feel to it. Tracy stitched using a red thread so it looks bitchin!

Next few pictures should be better (marty was there!)

That thing is just flat wicked! Everything about it. As always - Radrides has stepped it up yet once again. Look forward to seeing in person - I'm sure the pics don't do it the justice it deserves.

That leather looks like shrunken buffalo, is that what it is?

notorious1970 07-03-2008 11:54 PM

Juicer
 
They even installed the carrot shredder made by procharger! Big nasty blower sitting in the grill. I like how the spinner is painted black. Jared ran all of the necessary wiring to the front of the car and will be fine tuning it soon. The motor was spun over to check things, specifically the alignment of the belt on the procharger. :thumbsup:

not sure actually...maybe Tracy will chime in on it. Its pretty cool stuff though. Feels sort of like a suede but not quite.

RECOVERY ROOM 07-04-2008 01:42 AM

It is a very high Quality Italian suede and canvas inserts.

What are you firing up? What cars are you taking to Columbus?

ProdigyCustoms 07-07-2008 02:40 PM

Hey Mark. Do not want to steal the thread. We just fired up Project EmptyNest for the first time with a completely new intake and injection set up. I will do a thread when I can catch my breath. We are tuning right now. Were taking it for SMOY.
Michael is taking Project Prodigy for youngs guys, but that thing is 3 years old now and showing wear, so our expectations are not to high. He does not care about the trophy, he just wants to cruise it around Colombus beside EmptyNest.

Back to the awesome Nova now. Cannot wait to see it.

notorious1970 07-07-2008 02:44 PM

couple days left

Yes, good luck with your vehicle as well. I hear its a little unnerving when starting these things for the first time.

Fired up on the first try. Ran great on the basic tune and they are going to get John Meaney up to fine tune it. I am working on the pict. Check this out for now.
