So you say you want more pics??? Here you go... They are in no special order and are just alot of detail pics.. Here are pics of the Amps and Xovers , rear door panels raw and covered, the truck hinge pockets, the a/c drain tube, and we decided to take the tru-track apart and powder some parts black.

I'll try to find some pictures of the dash from the backside before it was paint, but for now lets just say a ton of work went into it to make it fit the way it is now!!! Kind of a cool story about the dash. Kendall's father in law's first car that he took to college and meet his wife in was a 60 Imapla. Not knowing this we just came across the dash in a bone yard we call "The Field of Dreams" cut it out and figured we could make it work. Couple hundred hours later, Kendall father in law walks into the shop and had tears in his eyes about the memories behind that dash in his Impala. Maybe thats were Kendall's wife.... while I'll stop there. I got to get back to work to get this thing done in time and tell stories later. Thanks Guys

The Chevelle was finished up just in time and made the trip.. It got alot of attention and we received a ton of great comments about the car.. It did not get a top 5 but performed great on the autocross track and we had fun throwing our luggage in it and driving it back and forth to the hotel and all around all weekend.. In other news our Trans Am did get a top 5!! :thumbsup: I will try to get a build thread going for that car soon!

Did Weaver do the interior? The car came out great good job they miss it ball by not making it in the top 5 I think.:thumbsup:

RPM HOTRODS 07-29-2009 11:10 AM

No, we did the interior in house. It was the first car that we completely did the interior ourselves. The armrests, quarters, trunk, package tray center console and a few other pieces are all sheet metal that we fab and have a boat load of time in. It turn out killer and we are all happy with it. We just had our regular interior guys load up with the TA and a few other projects and we only had 3 weeks to get it done. Everyone at the shop thought I was nuts and didn't think we could get it done, but we all hammered it out. I just can't say enough about my guys at the shop they are just knocking it out now!!! As for the top 5, we got the TA in there and that was all we were looking for. It would have been killer to get them both in but I just don't think that would happen. But we will try again next year with something new!!! Thanks for all the compliments guys.

c10addict 07-29-2009 11:14 AM

:D You are nuts! :willy: :thumbsup:

RPM HOTRODS 07-29-2009 12:20 PM
