Josh,

Looks great! :thumbsup:

If you've driven it, what are your impressions so far?

Only drove it a few miles up road and back...I can say that it is fast and loud......that pic is before accident....almost done with repairs and working on finishing trunk out...had to redo the t bird....lots of work getting that all done..should be picked up in a week. Just waiting on the bumper to get back from chrome. Then put the fire bird together to be ready for good guys Columbus. Thanks

Glad to hear the good news, Josh. Good luck making it to Columbus. :thumbsup:

Well I tried real hard to make it to the good guys in Columbus....I kinda was unbalanced in my expectations and in the fact that I didn't leave my shop from Wednesday morning until Saturday at 12:30 pm. I did the math and realized I went 77 hours on one hour of sleep at about 48 hours into it....my wife is still mad as well as my mom..lol...I did try to get there Saturday and my friends truck broke down on way so o didn't get there till Sunday morn...I will post pics later I did have ride tech weigh my car and was surprised by the numbers....total weight was 3720...49.5% up front and 50.5% in rear...pretty good. More updates later..at Columbus zoo with family.

That is persistence. I saw a pic on Facebook of your car on the scales at the Ridetech booth and it looked awesome!

Where on Facebook?

well here are some pics...I decided to make the ram air functional...so...it looks pretty good..the part on the car is a pattern, I will be making it nicer and making a mold for it. It has an upper part that closes down and seals to the lower....I have a few adjustments in gaps to make that I didn't have time or energy to get perfect. the wing has a third brake light in it under the yellow paint that lights up red.

THe stripes are actually really difficult to get right. they are an optical allusion. I originally made them with a 3/4 inch gap all the way through the s-curve...but it looked like crap from behind or in front of the car...so I ended up figuring out that you have to make the ends sweep gradually to a inch more on each end and when you walk around the car the stripes change according to your point of perspective and look exactly 3/4 of an inch all the way when standing at the front or back of the car.....weird.

I have a mold for the wing... my idea was that the car looked good at certain angles with a wing and not so cool at others...the ends mimic the tops of the quarters where they swoop up and the middle goes with the over all shape of the rear end with the bumper and heat shield all caring a commen shape.

Congrats on getting it done. :thumbsup:

A lot to see on that 'Bird. :)

Wow great work, you must be so exited and relieved at the same time, LOL.

Really like the wing, different, tasteful and clean. Nice idea.

Thanks...the wing was one thing I was not sure about until I saw it yellow and bolted down....then I knew it was doing what I had envisioned...

Nice to see this one done!! I really like the close out panels under the hood!! The fit and finish on the front bumper is awesome :thumbsup:

This is the truth. As I started to go through the pictures, I was finding myself saying, that looks nice, oohh that looks nice, wow nice job on that. There are a lot of aspects that I really like on the car. Great job!!

Thanks...it is really tough to know what to do without too much...my style is a little close. I know that but I worked with what I had and really enjoy making pieces that add to the look and add details. I am happy I went with my bros color choice..if I had my way originally it would still be a brighter color blue. I like color. Lots of silver or charcoal cars out there.
Oh yeah. How do I get in the lateral g car of the month runnings?

Sends specs, a concise summary of the build, and links your best pics to Jody aka 'camcojb' .

PM me if you have an other questions. :thumbsup:

Thanks

:thumbsup:

Car looks good. I like the functional ram air. Glad you were able to get it fixed up.

Went to good guys indy, had a good time. I got a nice spread (6-8 pages) coming out in American Muscle Car Magazine....its french but hey, its a start. Figures a french guy would dig the style of my car....he was really nice and knew how to get some really awesome shots....taking advantage of the great surroundings.
Here is one I took and one of him doing the shoot.
