Thanks that was the goal to raise the level that these cars are being built on, we have another one right now being built that makes this car look stock. We will post pics of that one soon.

Everything is totally sick, amazing job and thanks for all the pics and updates!!:thumbsup:

There was so much green tape on the car when I was there, I almost forgot what color the car really was.
Hard to beat a black car.
Can't wait to see it in Columbus.

Chris
Which hotel are you staying at?

Love the car!!! What fuel injection kit is that?

fesler 06-22-2008 01:27 PM

We went to Imagine Injection and they custom built us one that we would be able to build a cool cover for. I will post some shots of the painted cover soon. It looks cool with the engine cover on it.

Yeah I look forward to these two cars sitting next to each other. The Nova is sick and the build work from Troy is top notch like always. Will be a fun show for sure and we will see you guys out there.

camcojb 06-29-2008 11:25 PM

do you have any pics of the car at normal ride height?

Jody

96z28ss 06-30-2008 12:07 PM

DOOM 06-30-2008 12:44 PM

Air bags guys plenty of room to drive when up. will show it being loaded in the trailer later

Ricochet 06-30-2008 01:40 PM

As always from you guys, nice work!! :thumbsup: The only issue I can possibly see though are the headers hang way down there!! Even at ride height they will be down there.

As far as the overall car - Typical Fesler. Amazing!! Paint, body and fitment looks flawless!! Oh yeah...Your photo skills aren't half bad either!! :rofl:

Have fun in Columbus!!

Brent

JoshSS 07-01-2008 09:02 AM

WOW! nice 69!! :thumbsup: I can't wait to see it at the goodguys show in des moines

G-Body 07-01-2008 08:36 PM

This Car is super str8 and sweet.......But theres a few things that bother me just a few because it is really sweet, but the value covers are just painted black and were not smoothed up the texturing dosen't work on a car this smooth plus do we really need to see that its a 572. And the exaust looks like an after thought its hanging down wayyyyy to low under car be much smoother designed to fit up in the chassis, Nice car indeed just these details makes the car looked rushed! :D

syborg tt 07-01-2008 08:59 PM

Chris,

The car looks incredible.

Okay, People really I know we all want to pass judgement on everyone car. Heck I can look at my project and tell you what I would do over.

You have to remember this is a customers car and I am sure there was a budget and time constrants. So you can't do everything, you have to do everything that is within the customers budget.

Just currious how many people have actually had a custom exhaust built for there car. I am certain only few on this board have. It's not hard to get over 5 grand in time and materials.

70TWO NOVA 07-01-2008 10:01 PM

Dare i say it, that thing is nicer than Fuel! :thumbsup:

Sales@Dutchboys 07-01-2008 11:10 PM

Im sorry...but i havent posted on here in like a long time....but I just think that if you dont have anything nicer or even close...then you really should keep your mouth shut. ok. come on these threads people post are because they are happy with what they turned out. nor just put on here so people that dont have **** to bash their cars....come on. lets all just be HAPPY!

The Car Looks Great Guys!


Thanks

Paul

Not meaning to "bash" anyone, just compare one nice car to another nice one. No disrespect to Fuel or its creators, just a friendly comment thats all, I opologize if I ruffled any feathers! after all, its just ones opinion which i figured we were all entitled to here. lol

G-Body 07-02-2008 06:34 PM

By no means is anyone smacking on a car let alone this sweet car but lets be honest at least. i beleive opions should be welcome and rudeness not aloud. sure everyone strokes egos here but but i think we are all mature enough to handle some honesty and open mindness.

That is all my comment was....a simple opinion. I can honestly say I meant no harm by it and was just using Fuel as a watermark of High Quality Camaros to judge Feslers Camaro by (if anything i would think that would be a flattering comment for the builders/owner of Fuel). That is all, I opologize if I offended anyone. Opinions should be welcome as long as they ar constructive.

Vegas69 07-02-2008 07:49 PM

To say one is nicer than the other is shooting from right field. Without seeing them both in person thats impossible to judge. Personal taste comes into play as well. Both fantastic builds and would be proud to own either.

On the other had, unless someone specifically states they're looking for critique, maybe you should keep it to yourself.

Perhaps less people will post pics of their projects in fear of the "experts" giving their 2 cents.

JMO.

my dad said this to me at one point in my life "If we all had the same taste we would all be after the same woman" I think it looks killer!!!!

comp-spec 07-03-2008 07:55 AM

Bad ass guys good luck

JayR 07-03-2008 08:10 AM

Anybody willing to drag that car from AZ to OH at nearly $5/gallon deserves a handshake and a thank you for making the show that much better. It's already an incredible show and picking a Top 5 will be extremely difficult regardless of who you think should win and making a commitment to bring another high end car all the way across the Country for us to look at deserves respect no matter what he brings home on Sunday.

I will be by Friday for my handshake and to say thank you. I suggest more guys with and especially guys without cars shooting for the Top 5 do the same because the show wouldn't be as great without cars and committed people like this.

Drive carefully, guys

Just went thru the whole thing. Nice car.

I'm glad you used the original subframe! (since it works just FINE!) It reflects a discussion that was had in the suspension forum that ended in a war at some point between people that like (can) to throw cash for nothing and people with more sense than cash.... I like the fact you're showing it can be done and how!

Eric, the rails are competition engineering (unless i'm in error, which i would really doubt) and go for about 250$, you need to use the comp eng weld in connectors or build your own too (Custom connectors are MUCH cleaner) but the frame rails are nice.

Chris, since you used the rails, how did you attach the front point of the lower suspension arms? I have seen no pictures of that?

Again, Nice car!

Lead. :cheers:

Very well said Jason. I'll see you guys there! I can't wait. You would think I was 5 waiting for Christmas morning! :willy:

fesler 07-03-2008 09:10 PM

Hey everyone we are at the Iowa Goodguys show and I have to say that I really appreciate all the comments good and bad.I look forward to meeting any and all of you at these two shows "Iowa and Ohio" Everyone keep this in mind, I am not only the builder but I am also the photographer so it would have been very easy for me to shoot this car at an very different angle to hide the exhaust, given the car a false representation. I did not do this because it is what it is and we are very happy with the way it turned out and no matter who the builder or what the build there is always more that could have been done than there is money to pay for. I will post some shots of the first show tomorrow. Thanks
