Thanks, It is amazing what can happen with a few simple tools and some flat sheetmetal. Dave has allowed us to push the envelope pretty far on this car. So far I think he likes the results....."MR Ben Hermance" has been pretty instrumental in getting all the ideas on to paper, But we are not ready to show those just yet.

That looks great Rodger! (As usual.) Keep us posted please.:thumbsup:

Somebody finally nailed the right look for the rear bumper. Great work Roger.

Can you post some of the the design thoughts (and pictures) on the rockers and the front fender (behind the wheel). Looks killer by what I can see.

Thanks for sharing with us junkies , LOL.

I know Rodger mentioned it briefly but I do want to give a hands out to Ben Hermance myself. So far he has put our ideas to the limits and there's way more to come. I still am hesitant in regards to posting photos but as Rodger keeps reminding me, most will not go to this extreme and the knowledgeable ones know the hours it takes to get there
The modified bumper we took from a mustang and tucked in the corner to match the body line of the custom reworked quarters. Originally Rodger posted the photos of the rear section of the car cut off. Well with that said the rear section in reality was shortened by 2" but extended through the spoiler area to actually obtain the same length, (also it moved the trunk lid forward toward the glass which eventually you'll see why) With the front fenders being shortened by 2" it becomes an almost natural look. The problem that Rodger has with the camaro once you lower the hell out of it, the body style becomes too long. I think he nailed it.
The all started when Rodger awhile ago posted up the "most radical 69" thread. We reviewed everything there was out there and tried to go beyond that "box". Hopefully you guys enjoy so far and Im all ears to your thoughts.
Plus it need a name!

WOW what an awsome build. Rodger and Dave you guys are really pushing the box wide open with this one. Just one question have you guys thought RIDDLER????? :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:

WSSix 12-31-2009 05:30 PM

x2 Riddler maybe? SMOY for sure though right?

Car looks great. I'm not familiar enough with the body lines on a first gen to have known it was shortened with Dave mentioning it. I was scratching my head thinking something was different but what. I'm loving this build and War. Just wow!

We've exposed the car to the public, so the answer is no to Ridler. Ive agreed for Rodger to post some photos here and there. It helps potential future customers of his show what Ironworks is capable of, but in short where his mind is always at. Every car there has something that has not been done yet.
I thought it would be better to show the build from day one instead of posted finished photos right before its release.
If I can swing it funds wise, Rodger plans on showing the car in all its metal glory at DelMar

One more thing I just noticed, the front heat extractors. Will those be staying?

Hey Dave,

If I'm not mistaken, this can still be a Ridler Car....... You are allowed to publish UN-FINISHED, UN-PAINTED PHOTOS of the car prior to the show!!!!.... You just can't publish photos after its painted (before the show).

This has got to be one of the nicest Camaros on the planet..... Keep it up!!!
