Love the car! I really like reading and watching builder/owners thought processes and outcome on their ideas of a design. :thumbsup:

Can I ask what made you all put the vent relief behind the front wheel? Is it a functional item or just part of the design?

This is to be in line with the quarter panel speed line, other wise it may have looked out of place, but Im not sure considering we dont have mock ups doing it a different aspect. For reference kinda picture the Roaster shop Challenger bumper. I got the idea from a Bo Zolland rendering he did of a 69

I think it looks good that the bumper is up to the style line on the quarter. I think in my opinion ($.02) that it's looks big on the side of the quarter panel I think it would look killer if it was somewhere between what you have and what a rear bumper on a 70 cuda looks like. Also depends on what finish will be on the bumper, if it gets painted body color then it won't be as noticible and will blend in, if it gets a chrome or brushed finish the it will be more noticible .

Man the car looks killer! I can just imagine all the labor time in doing the chassis and mods to the car, is there a timeline for the car to be done? I am sure it is the old saying it is done when its done, but do you have any idea because this one will turn some heads!

Dave, all you need is a TT Lambo, and I may start calling you SW.

Car is more than amazing--I bet it was tough to say "Sure Roger, go ahead with all those ideas"---any risks you took certainly appear to be worth the reward. That thing is Bad A dude---I think a new bar is being set by Ironworks here. :wow:

Thanks guys for all the props. The guys in my shop have really been working hard to bring the ideas into reality. There has been a ton of work just on the passenger side of the car, we have not touched the drivers side yet. About the only original sheetmetal is the section in the quarter with the gills and the section below the speed line in the door. Dave and I have had many late night discussions about the direction of the car. Many of them have ended in the words "Just Trust Me" as I hang up the phone and think to myself, are you sure about this Rodger....

This car is pushing the envelope in more ways then one. The mods maybe new to the Protouring scene, but they have been doing this stuff to streetrods for years. As far a certain goals for the car, I'm working towards having the car in our booth at Del Mar this year. We hope to unveil 2 projects at that show. ( One will be a giveaway car with our prototype chassis under neath it :D :D :D :D :D, nothing for sure yet but it should be given away in 2011 ). We still have alot of work ahead of us just to get to Del Mar, let alone get it completed.

MAYBE 2011....

Like I have always said, it is a team effort around here. From the after school kid cleaning the bathrooms and keeping the shop floor swept, all the way up the food chain to myself. We all have a hand the out come of each project. Without one spoke it would be a pretty rough ride.

Thanks
