Ty

Congrats on the car, and thanks for your service!

Well we are back!! made the 37 hour drive back, and rolled into the shop yesterday bout 10AM. What a week!! more coming on that soon. I got to get caught up with email first

Any pics you guys find, please post up or email to me at [email protected]

SEMA was killer, the Freedom Bird really stood out among the crowd! What a week!!! SEMA was such a blast! I still can't get over how well the car turned out and all the members that came by to see it! Thanks to everyone that stopped by!!

What a piece of work my guys turned out for Ty!!! Really. Pics just don't do the car justice! The crowd around the car all week was huge, as was the grin on Ty's face! I got some great shots and will attach them here...

Ty, Josh, Jerry and I just got back yesterday after yet another 36-hour drive straight thru to get home! Our minds are still fuzzy and Ty is still doing the "bobble head" thing today I'm sure! That guy can sleep anywhere! LOL We're tired, our legs hurt, and our butts are still numb from the drive but it was all worth it and all for a great cause! Those of you who met Ty understand... I still can't think of a more deserving guy! And if you were at the Pro-Touring.com dinner you saw how humble and heartfelt his appreciation is for all that we did collectively as a community to make this build happen!

We appreciate the accolades from all the members and sponsors very much! And the kudos from some of the big time builders who stopped by to check out the car, those builder to builder complements mean a awful lot too! Ty and I are close, both geographically and in the way that only this kind of build can breed a brotherhood. A brotherhood shared with many who helped to make this car happen and get to SEMA on time and in grand fashion! To all those involved, thank you from Fletcher's Customs!

The car needs a little bit more before she's road warrior worthy, but nothing an upper radiator hose fab and a fuel line won't fix! Then she's off this very next weekend to sit with the Pypes folks again at the Moultrie GA swap meet !! Rounding out the year will be a guest appearance at PRI with BMR Fabrication in their booth to show off that incredible torque arm/watts link rear suspension!

So stay tuned as we're looking forward to a few magazine features and some TV spots that are coming up in the near future! As Barry Meguiar said about our thrash to get the car to SEMA, we are certifiably "Car CRAZY!"

Thanks again to all our sponsors/vendors and to everyone who stopped by at SEMA for making it such an awesome week!!! And stay tuned for SEMA 2010 project coming soon!!

100's of pics being posted to my site as I type!!

Hi Guys,

To the crew at Fletchers - you guy's went above and beyond.

Ty it was great meeting you and I am glad that we have become friends and I am happy I got to meet you in person.

Thanks for the kind words Marty!! Now how come i never met you, or hell did I and I just forgot!! I swear I talked to at least 2500 people if not more over those 4 days!!

Hi Chad,
