Is that how you store project cars, or is that wall art?

cmraman 01-08-2011 10:39 PM

Car turned out awesome guys, good luck.

Vegas69 01-08-2011 10:45 PM

I dig it but I'll be interested to see how it goes over with the Barrett Jackson crowd. I've often thought if I ever decide to sell my car that I would go back to a brushed or polished wheel. Looks killer!

I'm with you on the Barrett Jackson ordeal. I know that's where alot of big money guys are and the potential to sell a car there for a great sum of money is high. But, I wouldn't trust Barrett Jackson as far as I can see him.

Man the change on the car is awesome but I can't get over the shop you guys have and how clean it is, hell you even have projects "stacked up".

Roadster Shop 01-09-2011 12:34 PM

Thanks guys! Were are really happy with the way the car turned out. Hopefully a few guys in Scottsdale will feel the same way. It is definitely a gamble and we've definitely lost some sleep over the decision. But, it has a prime spot Saturday night and I think the new look will attract a few bidders. The car has definitely done its job from a marketing standpoint, sold several turn key builds, and has proven the performance of our chassis line. It has definitely paid for itself already. It is sad to see it go, but now it is time to free up some capital for the next project car....

There is a lot of effort that goes into keeping the shop looking good but it has to stay on par with the cars that we are building.

We ran out of floor space as new projects came in, so up they went. The Mustang is our car that will begin after Barrett-Jackson. The '36 3-window is on hold as we finish the same customer's other car, The Nova is waiting until the end of January before it starts up again. The 53 Doge wagon on the floor is a car that we just completed a custom chassis for. Since there are no aftermarket suspension components for it, the customer came to us to build a complete chassis to fit the original body.

But I need more info on the 2nd gen in the background

I'll trade you my left N*t for that hood!

WILWAXU 01-09-2011 04:30 PM

Car looks bada$$!

Phil/Jeremy/Neal

The Chevelle looks awesome !!! I know there was a lot of discussion over what to do about the color of the car after the altercation with the big black cone in Texas. Don't second guess your decision, I think the new color looks great and it will do well down at Barrett. We'll be watching.
Hope you guys have a great trip.

66LS7 01-10-2011 06:55 AM

Phil, Jeremy the car looks great, I really like the red pinstipe. I hope you have a great turn out at Barret Jackson!:thumbsup:

I also like the one picture with the three car bodies stacked by the wall.

tones2SS 01-10-2011 07:35 AM

Wow. That looks amazing!
That hood is NASTY! Great job guys.:thumbsup: :cheers:

waynieZ 01-10-2011 08:51 AM

The car looks killer , I love the hood!!

Hey, what did you do with the old tires? I know your a little lite footed, so you didn't use them up all the way. But anyways it looks sick!!!!! Killer job on the makeover. I just hope it gets what you want out of it.

Nick.V70 01-10-2011 07:58 PM

Lovin it!!!:hail:

Roadster Shop 01-10-2011 08:33 PM

Marty - Stay focused here! One car at a time... you are always looking in the background... look at the big car taking up 3/4's of the picture!:lol: :lol: That is a 71 we are doing for a guy out of Cali. It has our complete chassis under it and is getting a twin turbo LS shortly! Details to come.

Chris - thanks... We are confident with the car, just have to wait and see where the bid goes:_paranoid I was out in your neck of the woods today. Did your 9" come back yet?

Randy - Thanks, the red definitely sets it off nicely.

Curt - I still have the old tires if you are looking to make a launch ramp, I'll ship them over. Your 69 Camaro conv't is looking killer!

Brans - Maybe if it was the right one. Everyone wants to trade their left one. I have a feeling the rights may be worth more since they are so rarely traded. :lol:

Everyone else - thanks again for the compliments on the car. The storage rack came by way of the mother of all invention... necessity. We were running out of floor space and had several racks where we stacked chassis waiting to ship. We figured if they can hold 10 chassis, 3 cars shouldn't be a problem.

nvr2fst 01-10-2011 08:44 PM

WOW Phil.
That turned out killer, concidering Im partial to green. You need to do another track car with a vibrant color so you guys can stand out on the course from the rest of the crowd again. Yellow?

RPM HOTRODS 01-10-2011 09:05 PM

Don't worry about shipping them. Just stack them in the parking lot next to your fence usually about 4 high, I nose right into them when I get there. Thanks Phil.

conekiller13 01-11-2011 09:21 AM

Are you guys concerned at all about the lack a of a reserve at BJ? I remember a not so impressive showing for the G-force Cuda (not impressive based on build cost for the car) a few years ago......:_paranoid

Roadster Shop 01-12-2011 04:34 PM

We finally have the car all wrapped up and ready to roll out to Arizona.

So is it going to be at Barrett Jackson this Saturday the 15th?

brans72 01-13-2011 03:23 AM

OK you talked me into giving up my Right One.So when can I get the hood or a copy?

tones2SS 01-13-2011 05:42 AM

BANKO 01-13-2011 10:45 AM

Headlight specs & Penske feedback...?
 
Any more definitive info on the headlights...they outer ones look like projector xenon + angel eyes off a BMW?

http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/s...cture14885.jpg

These look like Penske 8300s :-)
How do you like them and what springs are you running?

http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/s...cture14894.jpg[/QUOTE]

Roadster Shop 01-13-2011 12:27 PM

They are Bimmer lights with projectors and halo's.

BANKO 01-13-2011 01:04 PM

Thanks for the response, what kind of additional electronics did you have to add to make them work?

Also, what about the Penske 8300s in the second pic. Are you happy with them and what springs are you running?
