Pretty much the same exterior. A little different color, but essentially the same car with a bit more interior space and a few more billet parts.

So all we had to do was reverse everything from the Short guy who owned it before to the Super tall that owns it now.

The Plan is to have the Ironworks Impala Chassis under the car with a Twin Turbo LS engine with a paddle shifted 4L80E trans. We plan to have this car completed for early 2016. Its time to be hammer down on this project.

sweet :bigun2:

Sweet! I thought Greg and you guys had developed a really great build plan. I was a little sad to see it get shelved. I'm really happy to see it back on.

Greg Heinrich who owns the 70 Chevelle and 55 Chevy, referred us to a close friend of his that was looking to have a custom car built, but could never get anything that fit him and was comfortable to drive. Cliff is 6"8" tall and wanted a car that would fit him well unlike most everything you can purchase new. Greg told his car building buddy was also a Giant and could get that handled. The discussion was that 1962 Bubbletop is one of the few cars that has a tall roof line and looks awesome in a mostly stock form. So all we had to do was reverse everything from the Short guy who owned it before to the Super tall that owns it now.

Glad to here it's back and if you need it I have a Paddle shift and a compushift set up for a 4l80e sitting on a rack in my warehouse I will sell to you dirt cheap.

So Tattoo passed and hey Boss wants it now. Win win.

Can't wait to see this one get built finally. :relax:

Thanks but we are doing the Holley Dominator system to have the ECU and TCU in one unit. We are leaning toward more of a Sequential trans shifter from a CTS-V.

Greatest decision of my life was not building this car... I still don't like it. Too F'n big.

I knew by the look on your face after we had done all the work with the electric pedals and long travel Mercedes seats to get you to fit in the car, that when you could not reach across the open the other door, it was over. It just took you 2 weeks after that to tell me, you were done.

It is ironic that the deal breaker for you was the selling point for this guy. I just take the seats and slide them the other way and adjust the brake and gas pedal brackets the other way. And Whammo a guy bigger then me feels normal in the car.
