What no pics? lol

Love the cupholders!

This car is so remarkable in so many ways and sooooo so nice and with that many details it really forces you to look at all the details. witch are amazing but maybe its just me but that pin stripe job on that car seperating the colors is horrible again at that level and it looks as if the striper got lost at times like on the intake witch is a focal point and quite the peice of art work by wilsons and to stripe where they did plus up the back of it just really looks like an after thought, IMO again with a car like this and at this level that stripe job is just not that nice even on the value covers etc. But like i said with everything sooooo nice something simple as that is so obvious.

:wow: :willy: :bow:

And question is WHERE IS BUILD BOOK team again !!! It drives me grazy to miss so many really intresting builds..

Simply amazing, :hail: I'm inspired to go out to the shop and work.Troy keeps setting the bar higher each time :hail:

man has it come a long way

Visited today to drop off their shirts and they where gone!! Had lunch with Levi and he said the car fired up first try and they played around with the stereo before heading out. The shop was a ghost town..freaky. Detroit rock city here we come! '56 will be right up in front when you walk in to the show...not sure on where the nova will be.

Peace :lateral:

from the pics ive seen so far coming in this by far has to be the star of the show for me:thumbsup:

It's too bad that this couldn't have qualified for the Ridler. From all of the great 8 pics that I've seen, This car could have probably won. Awesome work!:hail:

More pics please.

words can't even describe that thing :hail: :hail: :faint:

OMG!!! I just saw the great 8 pics, and was disturbed to not see this car on the list. Had to do a search as to why it couldn't qualify. Sorry to hear :( . Amazing car. Top notch group of people.

So what kept it from being a Ridler possibility?

From what I understand, it is because the frame and engine were shown at a show proir to Detroit. A Ridler candidate must not have been shown before, either in part or as a whole.

also the underside of the floorpans were duraguarded or something...not pretty shiny paint like the topside...it was hard to find pics of it but if you look closely at the final build pics you will see what im talking about...confusing though since the frame is dam pretty

Amazing job. I spent some time looking at the car over the weekend. Its amazing the quality and little touches that go into Troys cars. I'd love to meet him on day.

Even good pics don't do the car justice. Amazing talent.http://www.lateral-g.org/temp/022_a.JPG

Too much this car
Trophys really dont meen crap but they get it all wrong sometimes but whats it going to win? Street Machine? Street Rod? both?

holy god .... :wow:

This is what makes Troy so good in my opinion. He can take a body style or model that wasn't the best looking/most popular car in its day and do something like this with it. It still looks like the same model, but so many touches here and there that add to it and don't take away from the original car. The engine bay looks amazing, and the bumpers and how they sit in relation to the body is unreal.

whoa
 

How sexy is that thing in bare metal??

The matte copper is quite nice too!

Thanks for bringing this back up again! Get to be blown away by it all over again!



Jeff-

Their shop does crazy good work. I wish I could afford to have them do a car.

Awesome build and I'm digging the "Taffy" paint.

I don't know how I missed this thread before. I'm pretty sure this is high up on my top 10 personal favorites. Amazing details and execution. Love the color. Nailed it. :bigun2:

That car is crazy good!!! Love everything about it.
