They hand build the frames

Thanks for the info guys

That is pretty slick

I have been a huge fan of troys since the 80's his invision skills have been pushing him to the top for over 20 years. I finaly had a chance to meet him when they were in the process of building sick fish and I was a bit concered about meeting an talking to him for past experierences meeting boyd who was also a huge inspiration to me after meeting him not so much. Troy on the other hand just a class act guy he invited us into his shop and treated us like family! I was shocked talk about a down to earth guy.every time I feel like it is possible to reach the bar someone like this pulls the bar out of site!!! but yet still inspires me to no end no one else could paint cars the ugliest colors in the world and make it look so awesome!:lol: :lol:

I have been following this car since the beginning and if I recall at one point the thought was to leave it raw or something which as time went on I thought was a good idea.

So many projects look incredible in the "raw" and so many times by applying some form of coating or covering the workmanship and fabrication gets lost once covered up. When i heard this car was actually going to be painted I got worried that this same thing would happen when "covered" up.

I was in attendance at the GNRS and once the media was allowed into the buildings on Friday morning it was the first car I wanted to see. I have to say that the incredible workmanship and fabrication on this car was actually enhanced IMO with the colors and textures used to paint this car. Every type of finish was perfectly applied and accented each part and accented the contrasting parts and finishes.

I went back to the car all three days and found more and more little details to look at each day and I tried to find something wrong with it and the only thing I saw was a small piece of 3M green tape down low on the inner fender well which I am assuming had something important written on it so they would not forget.

The Holman Moody shift knob and logo's on the gauges was such a cool small detail point.

Is there anything that Rad Rides can't do? I don't think so.......they continue to out due themselves year after year and car after car.

I can't wait to see what's next....

I found myself returning to this car at least twice each of the three days I was at the show, I found something else grabbing my attention each time!

I'm just trying to picture what's going to come from his shop next!

what ever it is it will be amazing and fresh!

Troy is always so amazing with his colors aswell....
Would have love to seen an actual color on this car other than a shade.
