He is one tallented guy...that's for sure!!

What are the show dates again? I'm too lazzy to look them up!

I need to hit the P-Town show!!
Nice wheels BTW!!!

nice... like the exterior. Subtle and sleek. Is the interior going to be orange as implied? Or something more subtle like black with orange accents similar to the exterior? Also, tho' I am not a big fan of large diam wheel look, I dig the five-spoke design choice as well. Something about muscle cars of any flavor and 5 spoke wheels (pseudo reminiscent of the Magnum 500 and variations on that design) just always works.

oh, and diggin' all the progress pics, thanks again for being so open about posting the build. Can't wait to see the rolling chassis, let alone the finished project!

Fairly certain that he works at SAR and it looks like he's doing his own thing now ???

Thanks TJ! It's been a pleasure working with you guys as well. I love when a project goes like this, just bouncing ideas around on paper until we get all those subtle variables ironed out for a killer final product.

Great to see the shop and work with you guys and the car in person too. Well worth the drive! I'm stoked to see the car develop and honored to be so involved and entrusted with the very first job out of the shop. I look forward to many more and will do my part to spread the word!

You guys can see the workmanship in the photos and it's even more impressive in person. There aren't that many shops that can bring a bare metal shell to a show and draw a crowd, much less put all their work right there to examine without any paint or interior, etc to hide things. This thing is going to blow people's minds and get your shop the exposure you deserve when you hit the shows this month. See you in Seattle!

The interior is natural colored leather like a baseball mitt like you'd see in a Porsche or Ferrari.

His fabrication background started 30+ years ago building conveyor systems,robotic welding systems, etc before he went to Steve's (with a lot of cool projects on the side through the years). My aunt had a 70 Challenger and that is the first car he drove in high school. One of the first projects he worked on was the Chip Foose designed RealMad Nomad with C5 front & rear suspension back in the late 90's.

Pretty cool - So are you also a fabricator.

PS - The RealMad Nomad is one of my favorite Cars. Way ahead of it's time

Way cool indeed, please let us all know when your in Seattle.

One of my all time favorites was NewMad done at Steve's shop. Many subtle changes to the body and tons of custom built stuff - and beautiful details.

All the best with the new shop TJ ! (got a good start with the challenger)

Jim

Can't wait to see it on the ground...:thumbsup:
