Awesome job guys. So much custom work but its subtle, not jumping out with alot of bling and I like it that way. Great work guys as always. :thumbsup:

ProPont 04-28-2012 07:43 AM

Another job well done!!! Can't wait to see it in person.:cheers: :hail:

WILWAXU 04-28-2012 08:10 PM

I was a little skeptical about the red accents on black... but it came out badass! :thumbsup:

tones2SS 04-30-2012 05:46 PM

Amazing. You guys do such killer work. Great paint scheme.

RS-Chris 06-27-2012 04:38 PM

Figured it might be time for a sneak peak as the car gets ready for Columbus -

Beautiful!

Spiffav8 06-27-2012 08:35 PM

The quality of workmanship that has gone into this car is second to none. I have really enjoyed watching the build and I am looking forward to seeing it at Goodguys.

:captain:

DFRESH 06-27-2012 09:02 PM

Amazing as always. I really love that front spoiler combined with the Marquez front valance. I don't suppose you guys are going to have a run of those spoilers are you? I think you would certainly sell a few.

Thanks Doug. We thought about pulling molds and then offering them in glass or carbon, but time ran short and we did not have the time to send the parts off to have molds made with the completion date that we are shooting for with the car.

IMPALA MAN 06-30-2012 07:56 PM

To be expected from these guys. They really do some outstanding work. Just another awesome build from RS. I am excited to see the C10 at Columbus.

Bluesman1 07-01-2012 12:15 PM

Beautiful work guys you are definitely masters of your craft. On your radiator how do you get it black. Is that paint, powder coat or ?

Thanks
Howard

Very nice Camaro

RS-Chris 07-09-2012 12:35 PM

Time for some complete pics of this car! We debuted it at Columbus to a great reception. We were also fortunate enough to be picked for the winners circle and received a Goodguys Innovation award!

The interior we designed was completed by Steve Holcomb and turned out great. (More pics will follow) Here is the initial concept:

Some motor shots:

The wheels are HRE's 794RS (20" rear and 19" front)- beautiful wheels that really suit the car.

We dropped the car off with the owner prior to Columbus for a 4th of July party:

After a short run, he couldn't be happier: :thumbsup:

That car in person was a home run! Congrats you guys...:hail:

Rick D 07-09-2012 02:59 PM

Outstanding as usual!! :thumbsup: :hail:

GRob 07-09-2012 04:32 PM

Well that turned out stunningly.

The only thing that I can think of to make it better would be your IRS.

Maybe in the future.

Nicely done.

syborg tt 07-09-2012 04:41 PM

Car looks Awesome and I am sorry I missed it last weekend

Okay - I need some more interior pictures

S2VYSS 07-10-2012 11:47 PM

What pedals did you guys use in this build? Saw the car at Columbus and I really liked the look. Thanks

RS-Chris 07-11-2012 06:13 AM

Really like the touches of red throughout the build.
Wheels look awesome on the black car. Like the fact you chose to without the hardware really goes with the looks of the car. Great Job and congrats on the the Top 5 pick

IMPALA MAN 07-11-2012 06:50 AM

Congrats to RS and all of the people that brought these rides to be candidates.
It makes you wonder what the bar next year will be raised to.
Awesome job to everyone! For everyone that did not come to the show, you are really missing out.
