Great JOB! What about the Ford Truck in the back ground? Looks Badass as well!

Nice work. I heard you guys were working on another all black 65 that looks twice as nice as this one and the owner is some special dude. Can't wait to see that one.

Yeah, he's about as cool of a customer as you can get. If you end up in Pleasanton this weekend, you should stop by our booth, he'll be sitting in his chair, LOL.


Here's the latest update. We added a set of brake cooling vents.

Hey Jeph, Tell the old man I stopped by the shop before I headed up to my booth at Goodguys. The concept and work is awesome. I haven't seen this kind of detailed craftsmanship. This is a level I could only hope our shop will achieve. We may have you on paper but where the welder meets the metal ???? Great Job. Looking forward to Columbus and the finished product.

Rumor has it even bigger things are coming. Good luck

awesome work! be nice to see more Fords in the final five at SMOY..or at least one lol...maybe you`ll see this one up against Fesler built fastback! Hands down you have the chassis covered though...will this be a bolted down body or will it be a fully welded body to the frame?

LOL, I don't know who Doug Foose is.........but that just sounds funny :)

Hey ChipF, thanks for the props. This year we are really trying to showcase our builds, rather than just the parts everyone knows us for.

I'll get some more pics up tomorrow, I have a few more you'll probably drool over:unibrow:

No, we are definitely bolting this body to the frame. This customer is going to drive the crap out of this car on the street, and really wants it to be comfortable. For the first year we will probably use brass bushings since it's going to see a lot of track time....but after that, rubber baby bumper buggies all the way:lol:

It's definitely be cool to see more Blue Ovals in the top 5.......and heck, I'm a Bowtie guy, I just love variety.
