Preston, I do not think you have to modify the hinges as long as the fender is moded accordingly. Not that I have done this myself but I have a buddy that used to do a lot of ricers and did ths all the time and I know for a fact that he didn't change anything to the hinges or to the pillar. The inside of te fender area has to be moded for sure but maybe Roger will chime in as he HAS done this before!

Updated the list. Let me know if I'm missing anyone.

That MR Mustang just blew my mind :thumbsup:

Bad Penny will be making her 5th appearance at the SEMA show.. not sure where, is there under the COMP and Falken banner (for display at some industry dinner Wed night).

Noted and updated the list :thumbsup:

68 Charger is one of my favorites

That mustang is one of the sickest builds I have ever seen. I'm now making plans to go, ( dumb )question Is there going to be any auto crossing on sema grounds and as far as optima can any one attend ( to watch )?

#1 -- You can't just go and buy a ticket to get in... You must be a part of the industry - have a company that is in the industry or somehow be connected.

#2 -- There is no auto crossing on SEMA grounds -- there are some drifting demonstrations done by pros such as Ken Block

#3 -- You have to buy a ticket to the OUSCI... Go to Optima Battery website and pay to get one. Then you have to get to and from the track in Pahrump (40 some miles or so from Las Vegas). Anyone that has paid for a ticket (limited!) can go to OUSCI.

Tickets to sema are no problem, the optima are the ones I need, thanks for the info!!!:thumbsup:

Okay then! See ya out there!



:cheers: :woot:

TMI Products, booth #23893 will have two display cars.

The first is a 1966 Chevelle we took last year, however is getting a whole new interior(new product we are unveiling!) along with a bunch of other changes.

Come by and say hi and see our new stuff!

What? that old thing!:lol:
Car looks awesome Tim, congrats on the new job too! looking forward to the new products in the car.

Updated list:

No, there's only room for 1 car.

They usually have a small booth with no cars.

For those of you who love the Ford GT40 Mustang as I do you might like to know they have semi-assembled/painted pictures up now near the bottom of this massive photo page

Looking good. I usually like simple single tone paint jobs and I usually like silver as well, but after admiring their work I actually hope they put a rocker stripe or some accenting on it - definitely reserving final judgement as the bumper is not even mounted we'll wait until its done. Well, okay, my final judgement is pretty likely to be "TOTALLY AWESOME" regardless. REally looking forward to seeing the interior as well which hasn't been shown anywhere near finished state yet.

BTW, I might be the only person on this thread to care, but I cut one of my extra doors in half ('67 Mustang) and widened it 2" and mounted it to the normal hinges, and it didn't seem to have any problem with interference between the front edge and the trailing edge of the fender when being opened, so I guess the guy who posted an answer for me is right, it doesn't make too much of a difference.

Hey Preston, thanks for posting. I'm sure in person, that things is going to be mind blowing. Sometime is hard to capture the essence of the car in pictures.

Good example ids G-Force Cuda. When I see it in pictures, it almost looks to me like an early 70's funny car the way the body rakes. But when I see it in person, all I can saw is, WOW! That thing is beautiful.

Anyways, can't wait to see it in person.

That's right! This old clunker is going again! :cheers:

And thanks, I'm loving the job! I'll post up lots of pictures when our new stuff debuts!

:wow: Holy F:censored: that thing is as sweet as a Torino. :D :omg:

dear lord..............


:hail:

Come to think of it, I could have told you that. Dang :lol: I added an inch and some change to the front of my '65 Mustang's doors, and didn't have to move the hinges. I will say, it does get trickier the more exaggerated a body line is as it runs across the door. If the angles are sharp, things might want to hit, or if add so much metal that it would hit the inner structure of the fender, then you would run into problems.

Now, back to the GT40 Mustang! I even dig the wheels. I think they capture "contemporary-retro" look, i.e. when I see them I don't just think of the original design blown up to 18."

SWEET! Just needs a chin spoiler and rear window louvers to finish it off.

Every once in a while, I get this dumb idea in my head that I'm getting older and outgrowing this stuff - then I stumble into a thread like this, like a crackhead wandering into a crack house, and realize that once an addict, always an addict. :willy: :_paranoid :bow: :cheers:

Also didn't help that Hotel California comes on (earphones on lost in my own world, in my office) just as I was getting to the build pics of that Mustang). :yes: :thumbsup:

Hey everyone,

Here's a map of where we will be at with the 66 Chevelle and 68 Mustang:

How did I miss this? I spent a couple hours going through all the build images. Absolutely amazing fabrication work! WOW!

Love the car, a little soft on the wheels. Maybe same style with a smaller hub would work. It's difficult to go with the Halibrand style wheels, without coming off as too much of a ford GT GT40 look.

Not an easy decision, but it looks &*))%$* amazing! Congratulations!

I can't wait to check out the Chevelle, that thing looks great. :yes:
