well the car is done!
it's photo shoot day here today.
i think Rogers Excited.
i will post some shots tomorrow after the shoot

Turned out great!

Sweet Ride
 

Just got back from a trip to Vancouver and had a chance to drop in at Speed Tech and checked out RedZed in person! WOW!!!!:hail:

The stance and the wheels are bang on and the colour is amazing, Roger took me for a spin and it is very impressive, the car is tight and brakes well, and comes in and out corners holding a line and we weren't out for a Sunday drive. We were moving pretty good :unibrow: . The torque arm provides great ride quality and I am very happy that I have selected the track time package for my car.

Thanks for an awesome experience.

here are a couple more of it finished

Looks badass Blake. :thumbsup:

You took the words right out of my mouth Ryan!
That car does look bad ass indeed!:thumbsup:

Very nicely done! Is that one of the early '69's that came with the '68 rear spoiler?

Bad Ass Brother! Can't wait to see it next week!! :woot: :thumbsup: :hail:

You should send Pete one of those license plates for the 'finished' pics of Karma! :yes:

Blake---that is pure art man---love the single stripe and the wheel combo---is that ride height or photo ride height? How big is the tire up front? Where did the side view mirrors come from---and lastly--will it be at SEMA?

Doug

so many questions!!
that is ride height Roger has been driving it non stop for 5 days now.
front tires are a 275 30 19
side mirrors are Iroc Camaro
it may be a plesanton in a month

For reals? you guys are gona be at goodguys pleasanton at northern cali?

Blake--if you guys are coming, make sure to give some notice---I'll make the trip if you guys are coming down--would really like to see the car in person.

Doug

this car honestly makes me excited to get back to work on mine... really really great job.

Hey Guys. Thanks for the comments. In case you were wondering what the car looked like back in 1986, when I was in grade 11, 1 year after I bought it, here you go. Yes that was me behind that playboy air freshener :yes:
The ride height in the photo's is my driving ride height. We had 3 of us in the car with some pretty hard cornering and launches and over speed bumps with no rubbing or dinging of the exhaust. Overall, I am very happy with the results and just want to get out and drive! :D

Nice car Roger. I remember your car in its previous build. Did you guys have to do any more work than a standard mini-tub to fit the 20x12s?

I'm good friends with Sandro. He has told me alot about your car. :thumbsup:

Bad A#! car Rodger.
Are we to consider this an official Speed Tech test car :unibrow:

Is that a mullet I see you rockin':unibrow:

I saw your car Ryan parked on Hastings on Saturday. It looks awesome! I would love to come check it out in person.

I was going to stop to say hi, but i needed to get home. I was in my Chevy II which i just pulled out of storage that day.

Trev

Dude, why didn't you keep those mirrors on it---:lol:

My car is still lower than yours--even if your's does look better--:rofl:

Nice to see you posting on here--maybe you could do more than one post a year from now on.

Looking forward to seeing the car bro---looks just amazing from those pics. Congrats.

Doug

i am breaking Roger in slowly to the forum thing, usually he is too busy talking someones ear off to get on here and post.

yea that would be the official " i gota blown big block what do you have" test car!!!
but hey i guess 600 hp is 600 hp don't matter how you measure it, unless it is the length of the rubber on the road

Awesome car!!!That's a great shade of red.:thumbsup:

Thanks man. I've heard alot about yours. Just the min-tubs and the perfect offset.
If Sandro ever gets his finished:rolleyes: (I know he is going to be reading this) we will all have to hook up and make some noise :unibrow:

Oh I will be testing her allright :D That's what these cars are all about!

Mullet city buddy, mullet city! Remember, it was in back then....I think :unibrow:

Come on, those mirrors were cool :(
Your car is lower than mine. You are officially crazier than me :yes:
2-3-4......
Thanks man!

LOL perfect offset is right. Hey you guys need to finish his subframe first. :P He keeps asking me about a Speedtech TQ-arm kit for his second gen. I keep telling him to do it. I did consider it for my car. :cheers:

Car looks bad a$$! :thumbsup:

Great looking car!
 

It turned out very nice.

I think the 3rd gen mirrors are the best I have seen on a 69. How much work to get them on...modify the base?

Who us? :_paranoid Ya I Know. He will have the first second gen Chicane kit out there. It takes time to do it right. The torque arm will be following shortly after. His build should be pretty sick when its done.

We actually left the base a lone and added a contoured base to it. I'm really happy with them as not only do they look good, but you can actually see through them :thumbsup:

Here's a great shot that also shows the ground clearance at ride height with the full 3" exhaust.

Can't stop looking at the pics---it is such a great car---any pics of the interior you can share? Motor? A profile shot of you? :lol:

Doug

Here is a few more Doug. None of me though, I may be wanted somewhere :_paranoid

I've already said it, but I'll say it again. Very, very nice looking car.:yes: :thumbsup:

Thanks a bunch for sharing those!! You must be stoked man---I mean not everyone has a car like this one---it's amazing. Would love to take a ride/drive in it that last weekend of August when it comes out the GG show at Pleasanton. Since you guys are planning on attending, I'm going to make arrangements to drive up for it.

Doug

Badd Ass car ..

Looks great Roger! Congrats:thumbsup:

I sure could use a couple of those shots for screen savers

Well done guys.Looks awesome:thumbsup:

So I have probably put on 300 miles since completion so far and decided to check everything underneath as I noticed an oil leak. It so happens that my "little oil leak" was actually a crack in the metal in the middle of my oil pan!?! :rolleyes: Its right around the area that the gussets are welded on the inside of the pan and slowly but surely, it started leaking and covered the underside of the car :willy:
We have a saying at the shop when we run into stuff like this: I LOVE CARS, I LOVE CARS, I LOVE CARS.......
