Looks so sick. But the fender trims are no bueno

DOOM 04-30-2013 10:15 AM

Rodger I don't know how I missed the seats ! Wow those are simply awesome !!! WOW!!

DBasher 04-30-2013 12:29 PM

Amazing work coming out of this shop, very nice!

Is the wheel base shorter than stock? It doesn't look like the wheel is centered in the rear, looks forward. Not a dig at all, looks perfect and changes the entire look of the car.

This car needs video with loud noises!

:cheers:
Dan

We set the wheel centerlines up to what looks good. Usually forward in the opening looks better but sometimes just lowering the car makes it look forward. We usually move the front wheels forward and the rear looks forward depending on the wheel opening shape.

Thanks

Videos are coming.

Looks perfect. I hadn't noticed the front and didn't know what was different until I was looking at another chevelle in the for sale section.

You guys nailed it, interior, frame, stance, another kick ass hot rod!

Having stopped by on my road trip to Phoenix --- I can personally speak from having seen the car.... it is BAD ASS. The dash billet is awesome! And as Dan just said - the stance is pure Ironworks. Rodger seems to have a knack for nailing that part.

There are cars that drive into a car show -- and EVERYONE just seems to fixate on them as they cruise by. You're not sure why -- you're not sure what's been done to it -- but it sucks you in and you can't look away. This is one of those.

Thanks guys, I really like the way this car is turning out. The customer let us do some pretty cool stuff.

The Fairway Chevrolet Chevelle is just about ready for the Interior shop.

We have been held up on a sway bar that is on NASCAR back order. Apparent the bar I need is used on the new Gen 6 cars and they are still filling orders from the NASCAR boys.

Rick D 05-23-2013 06:22 PM

Yup that doesn't suck!!! Very sick Rodger, in a good way!

baddrides 05-24-2013 06:55 AM

That's F-N SICK!.......

ScotI 05-24-2013 03:53 PM

I love this vehicle..... Year, model, colors, stance. Perfection.

I know different sizes were mentioned earlier in the thread & an extra set of wheels were used @ one point for display purposes... What are the final wheel/tire specs?

Not getting better at typing don't you mean 335 30 20? I know, it's difficult dealing with the small keys when you have sausage fingers.

Car looks great. Love the seats and dash.:thumbsup:

Some things will never change. And proper grammar and spelling are two of them.

In no time soon your daughter can post for you.....:headspin: :thumbsup:

I figured I would give you guys a heads up on the Chevelle.

Jan @ Stitch by Stitch interiors is doing a great job on getting the interior wrapped up. He is Yuccippa, Ca. About 3 hours from us.

The customer really liked the red interior in the stock Chevelle and wanted to go with that. He wanted something that looked nice but was not over the top or looked like it went in a 37 Chevy Street rod.

I'm excited to get the car back next week and begin really laying into the car. The customer and I have talked about attending an Autocross or two for the weekend to go have fun with the car. He really enjoys driving his 57 Chevy with our frame and an LS9 or his new ZL1 Camaro. He thinks the ZL1 might collect dust when he gets the Chevelle back to Vegas.

Some type of cloth, I forget the actual term. I know my Chevy truck has the exact same material.

Darrell 06-20-2013 12:32 PM

Interior is looking good,I likey:thumbsup:

tones2SS 06-20-2013 05:04 PM

Looks awesome. Those doors look great!

Ron in SoCal 06-20-2013 05:16 PM

The interior looks great. I'm surprised no one mentioned that killer vent on top of the dash.

Rick D 06-20-2013 07:17 PM

Very nice Rodger :thumbsup: black with the red looks killer!

tmadden 11-24-2013 09:12 AM

The door panels are super nice.

ironworks 11-25-2013 07:40 AM

Thanks Guys. We delivered this car to the customer in Scottsdale a few weeks ago for him to drive it back to Las Vegas. The car has nearly 1100 miles on it with many more to come.

Hot Rod Magazine has has asked us to participate in the flog test they do of cars that interest them. We are waiting on solid dates for this event.

I hated to leave the car as it is probably the most FUN car we have ever built. It sits perfect and rides even better and is a super fast street car.

I will see what pics I have that were never posted as I forgot to update the thread. Looks like we will be building a pretty radical 55 Chevrolet for the same customer.

A little late night cruising with the wife to get the rear end gear broke in properly. Man it sucks to stay out of the gas when it runs so good.

JB64CHEVELLE 11-25-2013 09:53 AM

You nailed that one! Looks fantastic..... I would love to bring you mine to finish up if I could ever save enough cash.:trophy-1302:

willj313 11-25-2013 09:56 AM

that red interior looks good

ironworks 11-25-2013 10:02 AM

Thanks Guys. We are really happy with the results of this project.

I'm excited to get another project going for the same customer based around another crate engine Chevrolet unveiled at SEMA this year.

ScotI 11-25-2013 03:52 PM

This thing is hands down pure porn.

willj313 11-25-2013 05:19 PM

have any pics of the dash?
