It's not the posting of an "opinion contrary to that of the majority," or even one that is not positive towards the subject at hand, but rather the way in which the opinion is expressed. As I said before, I can tell you that your wife/girlfriend "isn't my type," or that she is "wearing a dress that is less than complimentary" without insulting you, but when I exclaim that your wife/girlfriend "looks like a 300 pound hooker stuffed into a pair of jeans made for a 10 year old with anorexia," well, I think we can agree that such a statement would have a much different effect.

Here's a couple pics of projects at Lakeside Rods. One of them as you can see is "Scar".

"SCAR" looks pretty sick in that last photo....:thumbsup:

^ and there they go... gtfo.


ahahahh

I lot of thought and money went into this project from what I see. Yes its different and looking forward to seeing it at Columbus.

Very cool. Keep us posted please.:thumbsup:

Well since you worded it in a way I can understand......:rofl: :rofl:

I like the 300 pound hooker line! Too funny! But it does make your point very well. And I agree with you on that.:cheers:

Thanks for the compliment. Here are some more pics and video of my husband's car.

I for one have always liked the one off custom, I only wish I would have chosen that profession instead of dealer work. At the time there was more money to be made being a flat rate painter then a custom builder. Keep up the great work and keep the pics coming.

Very nice. I love that Camaro!:thumbsup:

Perfect :thumbsup: :cheers:

Personally, I think project scar has a $h%^ load of talent into it..
And in the december issue of camaro performers I saw that white 68 and thought wow.. that thing is awesome.
Dont worry what other people think of your car.. its supposed to be YOURS.

Keep your stick on the ice:thumbsup:

I didn't want to say anything while it was in bare metal because, well to be kind, the proportions looked "off" to me, besides, pictures never a great way to judge a car. I though it kind of looked like the car was too narrow for a first gen camaro. Don't know why, but after primer the I like it a lot more. Just one question though, are the quarters and side scoops flared a little bit. I couldn't tell from the angle of the shot if they were straight with the body lines, or sloping downward.

Matt

nice and creative.
refreshing to see a build that doesn't follow trends, or design ideas of others.

Lakeside has always been building cars that were bad ass,Roger has won enuf awards to know what works for the customer,I have known them for 12 years.I can tell you one thing, It will have a frickin nice paint job when it is done,They can paint.Like the car or not people will be talking about it.Wait till we see it smoking tires down the street.

I was thinking about that point last night (people ARE talking about it). It is getting known either way. And for many shops and customers that in itself is a very good thing. So like it or not it is getting attention. I do appreciate the amount of time and talent that has gone into it. I would like to see it finished before making any kind of final opinion on it though.

Not for me but I have to agree 100% Everyone likes something different. Thats what makes the world go round:cheers:

That white Camaro is amazing!!!!
I love the custom touch.
Please tell me more about this ride?
Specs.
why isn't it on the Home site of Lateral-g?

Thanks! We believe that this 67 concept look would've been something GM may have built.

It will have a taste of the 2010, but a custom interior designed by Eric Brockmeyer.

http://i829.photobucket.com/albums/z...G_0433-1-1.jpg

Yes it was, along with multitudes of other modifications.

http://i829.photobucket.com/albums/z...IMG_0359-1.jpg

The Grumpy Tribute car that was drawn by Eric Brockmeyer and built by Lakeside Rods and the Roadster Shop will be featured in the April issue of Camaro Performers! "Scar" will be in the same issue.

The quarters are flared. The brake scoop is sloping downward and is fully functional.

that is my favorite feature on '10 camaro.

is there a link to a build with detailed pics of all the fab work?

The tail lights are my least favorite thing about the 10 Camaro. They look like they belong on a casio stereo. Metal work looks great though:thumbsup:

We like the way the roof turned out also.
The build pics are in the works, but we're waiting until after the April issue of Camaro Performers comes out in a few weeks.

Very different, very creative, and very custom. This one will be talked about and shown in magazines years to come.

Any chance it will be shown at the Good Guys Nashville Nationals?

Thanks.

I like the 68 very nice. Thats one powerful motor in there.I'll wait until I see the other one all preimed up.

Anything that comes out of the lakeside shop is bad ass. I have never seen anything that Roger built isn't cool

Here are a couple more pics of "SCAR"

http://i829.photobucket.com/albums/z...r/IMG_0497.jpg http://i829.photobucket.com/albums/z...IMG_0498-1.jpg

This is going to be a be a neat car to see coming together.

Thanks for posting! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

like it or not, you have to admit that the builder has a good eye and i think it "meshes" well. ive seen some hacked up 2010's that want to look like 69's but this first gen is far from a hack job. kuddos to the skill and talent of this builder. its outside the box and definately unique.

I talked to Roger this week and he is very happy with how the car is turning out,Wait till you see it boiling the tires he said...cool

Baddass is all i can say,not a cookie cutter car that makes it sick in my book

Lakeside Rods is progressing extremely well on "Project Scar". Here are a couple more pics.

http://i829.photobucket.com/albums/z...h/IMG_0471.jpg http://i829.photobucket.com/albums/z...h/IMG_0507.jpg

Project Scar looks like it is progressing nicely, love it or hate it I think it's got a lot of creativity and excellent fab work. Cannot wait to see it in paint. I must say that the Grumpy Jenkins tribute car is one of my favorite custom builds that I have seen. I have saved absolutely every picture that I come across. I would love to see some finished interior pics if you have any. The thing I like most about the build is that it accentuates the original character of the camaro. Keep up the great work.

==================================
To All:

I think the car is fresh.

1) I had to make a double take whether the car was a 67 going to a 2010 or the other way around

2) It reminds me in a way of one of the cars you see in a futuristic movie. You know what car it started out to be, but it was someones interpetation of a futuristic, "Dark", Camaro

3) It will be a car that will always grab people eyes at a car rally. "Either you love it, or you hate it"

4) This is to be expected in this hobby. I used to follow the traditional, "Hot Rods". I have seen 5000 versions of a 49-51 Merc., some I like, some I don't, the simple fact is, as things move forward the variations will continue to grow.

5) Embrace the difference, it's not your money. I bet if you look closely you could find something you could at least admire about it, at the very least the dedication someone had putting it together.

6) Many things we love now were strange when they came out. Sometimes they were very strange!

7) Most of the things people do to their cars can be reversed thanks to the numerous parts that are available.

8) Many of these cars we all love might otherwise be in a cube or melted down, if someone wouldn't fish them out of the hell hole they were in.

9) I would imagine that many of the cars that are perfectly accepted by many of us would make the purest of car collectors wretch.

10) This Car IS the definition of the word:

Avant-garde (French pronunciation: [avɑ̃ɡaʁd]) means "advance guard" or "vanguard".[1] The adjective form is used in English, to refer to people or works that are experimental or innovative, particularly with respect to art, culture, and politics.
Avant-garde represents a pushing of the boundaries of what is accepted as the norm or the status quo, primarily in the cultural realm.

Anyway, my .02$ worth.

When I get my rendering finished and put up, it might be seen as a P.O.S.

Who knows, what does it matter?

Ty O'Neal

Ty-when we finish up the rendering, the only person I care about loving the design is you. Everyone has their own taste and it's impossible to make them all happy.

If there's one thing I've learned since I started doing this, it's knowing that whenever you create something non-mainstream you open yourself up to brutal critiques, especially with the anonymity of internet forums. The day I give half a second's thought as to what some critics say is the day I drop my pencil and start a new career. It's a losing battle at that point.

My role in any project I design is innovating and solving problems that relate to the client's needs and budget. It looks to me like Eric Brockmeyer (I haven't seen the rendering yet) and Rodger have collaborated to do exactly that on this car. Is this car for everyone? No, it's for their client.

I'm not defending the design. I'm just emphasizing the designer, builder and owner relationship.

I think it's going to look good from what I see already. Things may change as the build progresses??
Not crazy about the tail lights, but you can't please all the people, all of the time.:thumbsup:
