"Unfortunately, your first post made an invaluable first impression on me."

Porterbilt I think it is very mature of prodigy Customs to be as cool with it as they are. His first post may have given you a wierd first impression, but his post was posted after seeing a car with almost identical custom touches. Not simply the same wheels, and not simply the same roll bar. You could tell after he soaked it in his other posts were a lot more calm. I would like to think I would have reacted the same way as Frank. Your car is looking great and I am looking forward to seeing it completed.

there are plenty of people who have built that style of car. i don't think anyone should of acted the way they did. but who knows. tons of people have copyed my car, and i congradulate them for trying to one up me, thats what its all about i thought?

Frank-

How about welcome to the Year One Innov8r Camaro, from late winter of 01? They did that roll bar before you guys did, is prodigy a throw back to the Year One car?

Cut the guy some slack.

Tyler

Tyler's a definite voice of experience in this case after seeing that one Norwegian (or wherever it was) Camaro that ripped off his body kit and the Hot Rod Magazine car that had a rear spoiler lik the one one 50/50. It happens in the industry. Sometimes intentionally, sometimes by coincidence, but rarely, if ever, out of spite. I'm sure Frank was just pissed that someone was building a very similar car. It's human nature to want to have the first, best, and only version of something. That's why things that are "one of a kind" are so expensive and that's why things that are knock-offs off of those things are in such high demand.

how about the hundreds of copies out there some nicer some not but it is neat to say you were the first. I was going to build a mustang that was two tone copper/orange and black with R bumper cover. I had Kris Horton render it and then Brian came out with pictures of his and damn it was the car I wanted to build. Being different is good( take Jeff Schwartz for example) but there are only so many ways to build a car and using other peoples ideas is a fact of life (in almost every portion of life)..so go ahead and incorporate them into your cars and enjoy. if something becomes played out then it will just force someone out there to think of something new. Aren't we all copying Big Red, Hal Baer's Mustang, The Novette that Hod Rod Magazine built in the early eighties(silver and black 64?)and some of the other fore fathers of Pro-touring anyway?

I have seen the renderings of this car. It is safe to say the only part of this car that is similar is the pictures shown at the begining of the thread. The rest of the car is a far departure. I would like to retract my tribute coment, LOL! Again. not pissed at all. just a smart ass I guess. Anyone that knows me knows i am serious about 50% of the time. Actually the way I figure it, about the time Prodigy fades, this thing will pop and renew it.

Tyler, Actually my 1968 Shelby KR500 convertible was the inspriation for the roll bar and Shelbyisk / Cobra fuel door. We did see SteveOs car and confirm our gas cap fantasy. We called Steve and told him we were stealing his cap, before we knew him. In fact, I think that is how we met. At the time Michael started this car, I was out of the pro touring loop and did not know the Innovator existed. I did not join Pro Touring until Aug 2003. When I saw it I was like damn! That is pretty similar to what we are doing. We were doing Petes car at the time. So I copied it for Petes roll bar which is almost a direct knock off. And will gladly tell them.

Now this, this is stealing the Innovators roll bar...................

The Year1 rollbar was a Ford item that was for appearances only.

Thank you for posting your project and please keep up the updates! I don't care whose idea it is/was as long as you take the time to show us the fabrication and great work! The second woman to get silicon implants probably could have been called a copycat by the first. God bless all the women that recognized a good thing and followed suit :unibrow:

coool build! keep us posted
love the fab work/
Is the frame welded or bolted in? :thumbsup:
