Jaw dropping stuff! I could hang out in your shop all day and night and just be in awe of all the amazing stuff you guys do. :thumbsup:

Sinco 02-12-2012 11:07 AM

Looking good!

mild2wild 02-12-2012 11:51 AM

Console looks great.

Cris@JCG 02-16-2012 08:43 AM

Thanks for the props guys but without the owner of this Bird our vision would not be a reality..

The car is getting close to tear down for final body work & paint... Carter Hickman is working on a rendering for paint scheme..

outstanding build, and that front-end fitment is unbelievable. I wish I could get mine to fit that well.

tones2SS 02-16-2012 05:32 PM

That looks killer Cris. Very nice.

Cris@JCG 03-15-2012 08:58 PM

Carter has been working on a rendering for us to see the paint scheme!

I agree. The way the wheel/tires blend into the body panels may be the best I've ever seen. Great work gentlemen. :thumbsup:

CRCRFT78 03-16-2012 08:30 AM

I think of MotiV8r when I look at the rendering. The work is outstanding but the colors looks a little bland to me. I guess I just have to wait and see the finished product and hope it wows me.

Cris@JCG 04-04-2012 06:26 PM

Here is what we have been up to so far on the radiator support to bumper fill panel... Got a few more pcs being designed & machined for this portion of the project... The goal is make it where we can diassemble it when we need to service something in front of the car!

UHHH that nose is killer! I would love to have one of those aluminum core supports to how much weight do shave off with the core supports ?

syborg tt 04-05-2012 06:37 AM

Love the nose detail

captainofiron 04-05-2012 02:13 PM

I'm glad my keyboard is waterproof because I just drooled all over it

tones2SS 04-05-2012 05:31 PM

Awesome stuff Cris. Love that nose cover.

geberhard 04-11-2012 11:15 AM

Any update? Best looking nose I have ever seen.

Cris@JCG 05-07-2012 10:53 AM

Here is a small update... We have the fab work pretty much completed on the radiator to bumper filler panel... We still have a few pcs in design to machine but we are close.. Notice that we have a billet spring plunger in the center instead of just a spring... All the work kind of matches the bumper to hood beak..

http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/...n/IMG_2405.jpg

We also started doing the back seat in the car to get a feel of what we need to do to match the console.. I think we will have to alter a few things.. JCG now has an in house interior guy.. That means my builds have to no longer go out for sub-contract work...

Chicken Louie 05-07-2012 10:59 AM

Outstanding! :hail: I really like the the nose and close out panel work. I can't wait to see the next updates!

FreddieCougar 05-07-2012 11:01 AM

Great work, as always, Cris! Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

geberhard 05-07-2012 11:16 AM

Really digging all the details! BTW what mirrors are those you guys are planning to use?

tones2SS 05-07-2012 05:42 PM

Wow, great stuff Cris.

Al Moreno 05-07-2012 08:38 PM

That's going to be one nice 68 bird! Thanks for post Chris. Love your guys work :hail:

Cris just went through the whole thread again. Love what you've done with this one :thumbsup:

Do you have any more pictures of the rear rails? What did you use to move them in rectangular tubing or are they fabed together? I'm going todo the same with my rear rails and looking for other ideas on how to do it. Thanks and keep the pictures coming.

Also did you ever come up with making some more of the firewalls for the first gens??? :cheers:

Cris@JCG 08-27-2012 12:34 PM

I will see what I have on the pic side for you Rick... They are fab'ed up frame rails....

Firewalls are @ a stop right now... but will say they are looking @ stamping them for me right now..
