Awesome trucks! I think it is pretty cool anytime some one can start with noting but a pile of raw materials and build a complete vehicle. But these are just over the top. And, to any casual observer they look like a factory made truck with big tires. On the outside anyway. Thanks for posting those build links.:cheers:

Now that was great to watch. Loved every minute of it! Thanks Roger.

That is one clean setup on the gto. What manifolds did you use on that build?

Hope this can inspire some others. I just started my own hot rod shop this last fall and have been learning a lot. Just bought a Tig welder (MIG welded for years) and practiced a ton. I did a couple small jobs and a budget junkyard turbo Iroc Camaro. Then this guy comes and says, I want the baddest new gen GTO on the road. So...9"IRS, minitubs, ERL 427, 4L80E, twin turbos, roll bar, 1000rwhp, the whole deal. Built the turbo kit from a pile of stainless. Im just finishing it up and it was my first full build for a customer. Dont let anyone tell you you can't do something. Ive learned more in the last year than I thought possible.

And the super budget turbo 5.3 done for 5k including labor.

Get out there in the garage and chop, grind, and weld until something cool turns out!

LS1NOVA 09-07-2011 04:26 AM
DJW32, they are Corvette C6 manifolds.

One of my buddies was in discussion with this shop to do a car he has (he has MANY) and he was SHOCKED at the initial bid.... but as we all know. If you want the very best of the best... it costs a LOT of money.

Thanks for posting this up -- OMG WOW!!

Those guys work with guys who don't care what the cost is. I think Mike? Moal told me this was the 8-10th car they had one for this guy. They just started on a coupe version of this car before this one was done. A few years ago Mike Moal ( Steve's Son ) told me they have trouble building a car under 7 figures. But just look at all the hand built details. There is nothing but time in this car. Everything is built to the top, Not a single corner cut anywhere. No where.

DAMN!!!!! Thanks for sharing Rodger what a piece of artwork...:yes:

Is that the car Jimmy was building the front fender for in the "rides" show like 5 years ago?

Southrod 09-07-2011 02:45 PM
I gotta say,WOW!.

NOPANTS68 09-07-2011 10:02 PM
I'd rather have that for 2.3M that some 1920s Blower Bentley that only old guys in funny pants care about.

DRJDVM's '69 09-08-2011 08:57 AM
I'm pretty sure it the fender being built on the Rides episode....

Have trouble building a car for under 7 figures....WOW....must be a nice problem to have :)

Am I being picky? For 2.3mil I wouldn't want a half sanded weld showing on the underside of the hood.
Oh and different length fasteners on that block on the flange.

That weld is left for strength on an aluminum panel. That nose is custom made. Moal's cars are all built for function 1st, looks 2nd. Moal has a reason for everything.

I agree with Bob -- for a million + I want PERFECTION..... and I thought the same thing looking at this car -- "it's not finished".

Still LOVE IT..... but to me -- the attention to detail is missing. I'd show it in the "unfinished projects" class. :D

PERFECTION does not exist.....There is no such thing as perfect.

Granted I see your point. But Like I said
