Looks great. I'm not sure if you've felt like you've been progressing or maybe you are just sharing more, but starting with the first posts from your shop I feel like your builds that I am seeing now are equivalent to the best in this industry.

We definitely strive to be the best, especially when it comes to the quality and design of our builds.
Now that we have a dedicated person (myself) for our online media presence when not helping out around the shop, we can now keep up to date with everything online and posting to our build threads in our mission to expand and stay one of the best and honest shops out there.

Sweet truck. Are those Chevy HHR taillights?

Hey everyone! Tyler here again, sorry for the confusion on log in names, I think its all sorted now! Evan is helping us in a big way get our stuff out to the masses, hope we can contribute a bit of inspiration and ideas back to the community, as you all play a part in helping us progress.

Preston, thanks so much for the compliment. It truly has been a crazy journey the last 5 and a half years, and I like to think we have come a long way. Thanks for noticing! We are still just a small, humble shop in a tiny Canuck town.... there is only 4 of us in the shop now including myself, but we have amassed quite the array of equipment and are building some skills! Its been an amazing ride and being at a show like SEMA, and having a bit of a "spotlight" moment next to the likes of the greats has been CRAZY! Oh yeah, did I mention we are still cheaper than the big guns, and your dollar goes an extra 25% further with us right now??? :idea:

just awesome! How long until it's for sale?

I am pretty sure my dad won't sell it, but I can assure you that we will put it through its paces and show you the results!

It really came out awesome Tyler! Great job! Thanks for letting me be a small part.

Ben, you were a huge part. Without your help we couldnt have achieved the support we did. I owe you a favor one day.

Good eye, yup they are HHR tail lights.

Going to have to start wearing a bib on these builds!

Are the logos waterjet or laser?

All the chassis stuff is laser, with a few parts being cnc plasma once we set up our table finally at the end of the build. The dash, valve covers, top of intake manifold, and various other pieces are CNC milled.
