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

It is what it is and this is what the Client wanted, he really could care less what you or I think. He wanted the car built a certain way and we did what he asked us to do. No more no less and this is the out come like it or not.

Do I wish we could have done things a different way sure but I am still happy with the way it turned out. I am very happy with it because he is happy with it and told us we did better than expected. What more can I ask for?

I have had a chance to see this car in person. I can say that it is an incredible car and I would love to have it. When the air ride is up at drive height the headers have a lot of clearance. The paint and fit and finish is stellar. The shop is also stellar. Chris has worked hard and has a came a long way since I first met him about ten years ago. Congrates

Some people, for some reason think that every project has an open check book. People are so used to seeing these uber high dollar cars, that a really nice car that is not perfect, gets scrutinized for not having certain things done to it, because of the expectation that is out there. I blame all the one week, 500 man, tv build shows for a lot of this perception.

Man, the car looks great. BUt, I think a little more black would have been better. :unibrow:

You said it, the TV is what kills this, everyone thinks you can paint a car in a day and we all know that maybe 30 people can do it. If we could do that we could all turn cars in a few weeks but I think the overall project would suffer just a little I think. :lol:

just curious if me and my brother in law would be able to stop by in a few weeks to check out your camaro. we live over in Fountain Hills.

As you can see we hit some nice weather in Iowa, we hit two large storms on the way and it took us about 22 hours to get to the first stop. Goodguys Iowa and as you can imagine the Gas prices were just awesome. It took me 4 tanks to get to the first show and I have another state to go and then the nice long drive home.

We load on Sunday to head over to Columbus

So today at the first show with the Blazer and Camaro they both won something. The Blazer got nominated for Truck of the year and the Camaro won the Pros Pick :thumbsup:. I think that is a good turn out for the first competition and there were some nice cars there. I will post pics tomorrow when I get them downloaded.

The weather here is just great now, I guess a few weeks ago the area we are staying in was over 3 feet in water downtown. Sand bags everywhere so you know it was bad. The river by our hotel is way up almost to the edge but they say it is going down now. Cool town and the people are great

Congratulations on the show. Thats an awesome rig you have there.
Wayne

Nice.

Mr Fesler what are the cost's of a set of 20x8" 903's

Chris, congratulations and good luck with the rest of the shows. I know any of us would be ecstatic to own either of those vehicles.:yes:

Very Impressive!!!!!!!!!!

I've followed all these build posts on this car you have gone
the full distance on everything! So many details that are
real functional. That interior is very cool. I live nearby &
would like to see it at some point in person.

Peter
