Best thing I ever bought -- was a wireless foot remote for my Miller TIG...


Note your foot cable all wrapped up in the other cables... Now I'm able to just kick mine with my foot to move it into position and it's never tangled up.

Doesn't help my lack of welding skills (just read my signature) but sure is one less thing to distract me. :D

Incredible metal workmanship! These cars are garnering the type of detailed workmanship that not long ago was reserved to Boyd type street rod builds. It's fun to see how much metal working talent has spread into this arena. Simply Amazing. :thumbsup:

Actually Al -- Boyd was a bondo freak....

Ever watch his show "junkyard dog" --- they bondo'd the gaps and cut 'em with a razor knife.

Mario the car looks awesome. Nice work Troy.

Sweet, love that deck lid fab.....Going to be one sweet ride Mario:yes:

Doesn't surprise me Greg. Alot of the "old school" guys live and die by bondo. That was what the grew up on. I still know of a few "old school" body shops in the hood that will bondo the ish out of your car if you don't know any better. They paint all of the young boys dunks and crap cars who don't want to spend the real money on body work. Sad part about these shops are, they are making a buttload of money doing it and the youngsters ride around thinking they got a candy or a pearl paint job that is top notch.:lol: :lol: But, you see them riding down the road and the body work is just was wavy as can be from all of the bondo and poor body work. As long as it shines with plenty of clearcoat they are happy.

Yea...... your right about that! They could a ford look like a Chevy by the time they were done :lol: Maybe Boyd wasn't a good example to use but you know what I mean. I'll try again......... It's crazy to see the level of talent that has risen and hows these car have gotten to concept car type quality. How bout that, is that a better description?

^^What Wayne said.

Quick update.. Kinda pumped up about this !! Troy wants to bring the Camaro out to the GOOD GUYS INDY show in September.:willy: Now that he has the wheels mounted the fender streatch can begin. So if all goes well the car should be at Indy in the raw.:_paranoid

I might even fly to Indy to see that!!!



:cheers:

I don't think anything you create would surprise us now Troy. :cool:

Greg.... Don't tease me!!:D :cheers:

Thats a nice looking ass !. LOL Love the look on that very nice

No problem Mario. The ideas sure have STACKED up!

Mike

Mario I just happened to see some pics of the "Stretch" on your 69.

WOW - It looks bone stock

Man your a friggin regular Shurlock Holmes!!! I have to figure out how you do this WOW! I know of only one and I mean only one place you could have gottin those.. Troy has been hard at work getting this done he's stopping by my house for some $$$$ and I'm almost afraid to see this invoice ! I know exactly how many hours he has in this. I'm blown away by the pictures !! I'm going down next weekend to see it..:willy: He also had some local talent stop by his shop and couldn't beLIEve he pulled this off! And this guy does some RADICAL work himself!! I'll have the final pictures up soon as Troy gives me the okay!

Wait till you see it. Your going to be
impressed. I know I was

Ps you need pics cause I have a few

I have all the progress pictures I need from Troy plus I'm going down next weekend. Its crazy how simple he made it isn't it.... No way can you tell anything has been done it looks like its factory.. I'm glad I listen to him thats for sure.:D

So Mario when do WE get to see some pictures???? PLEASE!!!

Amen brother. Amen

Sure it's Mario and Marty Show :rolleyes:

Not the pictureless guys who spent a sleepless night after Mr. 2nd chance bikerack Camaro comes on here with the big reveal tease.

Thanks, thanks a lot.




:lol:

Just waiting for the final bolt up and fitting pictures. Everthing up till now is mock up . Troy wants everthing fit perfect for final pictures. There won't be any of the process, you know how these fabricaters are. Troy put many hours in on this and had zero help in figuring out how to do it. I have to tell you guys this dude gets things done he's no BS!!! He was sending pictures at 3 in the morning quite a few times:_paranoid . He has a great crew in Pete also!! I can't say enough about these guys! I'll be working with him for a long time ! He doesn't no it yet but I'm sending him my nephews 67 GTO I picked up for him a couple of years ago for some mild metal work. This turned out to be one of the smartest things I've done for this project thats for sure.. :lateral: :cheers:

Hi Skip,

Okay so call me a tease. They said it couldn't be done and look factory stock and he did it and it's going to take an expert to figure out how Troy did it. He also did both sides in less then a week and I am positive there will be almost no filler on the fenders.

The guys at BBT Fab are really good with Metal and they have proved it here.

ps If someone can tell me how to get these pictures off of my Phone I am sure I can figure out how to post them. Naaa I can't do that.

Great info Mario and Marty. :thumbsup:

Tease ,Thats being nice! A little off on the less than a week but I know what your sayin:D You just have to put some Foose logic to your statement. Troy worked alot of 15,18 hour days to make this happen..;)
