Car looks stunning Marty. Tracy did a great job on the interior. I might have to swing by the shop this weekend to check it out.

i think you meant "couldn't be happier". Not "could be happier". Believe me I'm not the one to point the grammer finger, but I'm sure you see my point.

Marty,
Let us know how the rhino lining holds up...:thumbsup:

man i really suck at this typing thing.

But i'm still better at taking pictures then Kenny.

pst. when you get there - get me some pics

well went and picked up the 57 from tracy's shop, completly happy . the car was clean ,done right , thought out . its not many times a interrior shop thinks about having to work on the car . i will recomend this shop to anyone !
i have used a shop in the past for 15 yrs over 20 cars each car normally 9 to 10 k each . i never have left his shop feeling like he wanted my work .

i will go back to tracy again , and have 3 cars sceduled in .

Thanks Kenny,i try and please the customer with good work,great design and not hurt there car.The 57 should be a good dual purpose car,show and drive.Your last upholstery guy should have thought about his customers instead of himself.Marty was easy to work with,no problems at all.Now i want to see some smoke rollin out of the rear wheels!!

Not to worry if sr. doesn't boil off the tires i sure will.

Material choices are perfect! Not the usual every car look. Like the finished off underdash. I hate seeing anything hang below dash. Headliner treatment is also nice. Fit and wrinkle free panels look amazing. Now get rid of that Lokar Shifter handle, just too average for that car. Gennie makes adapters.

Car looks great but that interior is well done.

Thank you very much for the compliments on the interior.

Send me a link to Gennie and any suggestion you have for the shifter please. Alway's looking for idea's.

I only brought it up because I have one in my Rambler and it sticks out like a sore thumb. Gennie has tons to choose from and there adapter is clean looking.

marty's57 , budnik
zl1 camaro ,nitrous express

Kenny, Are you bringing anything to K.C. this year?

Howw about this Willys going to bring it to Kc? You coming to Kc?

The willys has been delivered it is in maryland. I dont know if we will make it to KC or not I asked him the same thing the other day LOL :_paranoid

I'm getting a 57 HT in a few weeks to start so I am looking forward to seeing martys in person. (especially for the tire/wheel size and stance)
the nova sounds like it would be up my alley !

I've seen that thing before, I know you will do good things with it! :thumbsup:

Marty,
How is that bedliner holding up?

David

its awesome......I assume your talking on the bottom of the car right? ITs awesome we have washed the car several times rolled in and out of the hsop etc etc...we have even drove it some and it holds up very well. :thumbsup:

Travis,
In this thread, Marty said that he used rhino lining(post#200) and superliner(post #1). Which one is it?

You da man, travis

Thanks

This car is turning out really nice, the color has grown me looks good.

its not rhino for sure. The car was coated when it came to our shop if I had to guess it is superliner or speedliner.....its not rubbery like rhino and has real nice fine texture to it.

Okay it's been a while so i figured i'd post some pics.

The bumber came back from plater.

Yep my dad is chomping at the bit or what ever that expression is. He keeps asking me everyday. When's it going to be done and when is it coming home.

I keep telling him soon.

I can't wait to see it at Sema.

tell dad it will all be worth the wait . painted the hood yesterday and all i have to finish is the engine cover after the airbrush work .

I'll tell him for sure - i know he will be excited to her.

Any chance you took pictures - wait Never mind i forgot who i was talking to.

Another 6 inches to the left and we could get a sneak peak of Tracy's interior !

I love the coil covers. Amazing work! :hail:

okay the wheels are on the car and i am fairly certain that the only bad Mojo was a dear on the way there.

I want to thank Budnik for putting such a nice set of wheels on the car.
