That is what the owner said during the interview before the awardee was announced.

That is correct. Mike said that the customer didn't even know about it until they met up with the customer in Columbus. All about the details, and Mike & Jim did a great job. Pictures do not do the car justice.

Congrats to Mike & Jim and also to the SMOY runner ups! Great show and definitely worth the trip!
:thumbsup:

yeh i read it on the goodguys website...says they repainted the whole car in a 96hour period during the long weekend..just shows you how serious they must of been about perfection..if anyone had seen it at the Goodguys event in Nashville maybe they could fill us in on the paint before they reshot it?

ProdigyCustoms 07-14-2008 03:29 PM

I did not talk to Mike and Jim about the repaint at Columbus. I did talk to them at Nashville and talked about the funky "cast" the carbon fiber was putting on the rear quarter and the way it made the quarter look darker then the rest of the car. I can only assume they were trying to paint that color difference out? Maybe they tinted the front part of the car? I am only speculating, but you can see the slight color difference in the preview pictures from Nashville on the GG site, and I did notice it was not so obvious at Columbus.

You have to hand it to them, they wanted it dead on, did it, and won. And I bet they ate the cost too!

How do you compete with that.

That interior (and whole ride) is gorgeous!

Bummer. It's going to cost you a lot more now to have the nicest car on your street. :rofl:

Frank I you sure your not taking about the body line put in the bottom of the door and flowing to the rear. Mike pointed out the detail to me on this body mod but from a distance is shows a shade of color variation reflecting from the added body line. I also noticed one of the seams on the carbon by the hood is gone also from the madison show. Im not sure how they got rid of it but Gemini also did the on off Carbon hood on the black/gold ragtop and I noticed the seams right away on the cowl side.

Concrats to all the winners and all the people that had the guts to build these amazing cars and take them out on the track. the people I grew up with would not dare spend the time and money on a vehicle and then take it out and thrash it. What I think is amazing is that I have pretty much watched all these cars being built and met most of the guys somewhere or someplace. I feel like I am part of an elite group of builders and for that I thank Scott for putting this sight togethor.

V8TV 07-18-2008 06:51 AM

That's unreal. That's taking a huge risk to dive back into the completed car, but it paid off. Wow. I guess it's not that big of a deal when you know what you're doing!

Congrats to the Ring Bros. on that win..............nice to see some smalltown Wisconsin boyz take a prize like that. Just proves that it makes no matter where you come from...........just what you do, and how good you do it!!!:cool:

Congratulations Ring Bros!
 
I was just cruising the site and realized I never said congratulations to Ring Bros on this post. I did in person and on some of the other threads, but just wanted to say it again here, Congratulations! That car is unbelievable, and I'm another one who can't wait to see what they do next.:bow: :cheers:

Moabdude 08-28-2008 09:01 AM
