Custom Builder in Oregon
 

Hi all. I work for Eckert's Rod and Custom. I've been on the Pro-Touring.com site a lot in the past couple of weeks, so I thought I'd come over here and say hello as well.

We build a lot of G-Machines out here. Probably because we like to build toys to drive, not just to show. Our most recently finished build is the '63 Impala pictured below. It premiered at SEMA, and sits on our recently debuted universal C5/C6 chassis, the Torque 3G. The powerplant is an LS7.

welcome to the board! VERY cool car........... :hail:

Jody

That is a really sweet car, I like how you kept the stock frame look and used a rear transaxle, the weight bias must be pretty good.

Welcome...great looking car btw...:thumbsup:

Welcome aboard. That was a killer car! Feel free to post more pics. :thumbsup:

Dave - Weight distribution is 50/50 :cool:

XcYZ - Gladly..

Cool Bay mods and rear lights :thumbsup:

One of my favorites from SEMA. :thumbsup:

Yes that is a cool car! Had my pic taken in front of it with that hot Playmate!! I need to come down and check out the shop, I'm just up in Hillsboro. My Uncle lives near you at the SkyDive Oregon air strip...it's nice down there! :thumbsup:

Awesome! :hail:

Alex

nicely done!

Thanks for the compliments guys!

awr68 - Come on down any time. :cheers:

Wow!!

The back end is killer!:thumbsup:

what kinda $$ ballpark are the 3g frames in for a 1stgen Camaro?

They're built to order, so the price can vary dramatically depending on what options you go with. Using a junked C6 we can generally build a roller with a stock C6 drivetrain for about 23,000.

Man did I mess up! I was down there yeasterday afternoon dropping my uncle off to pick up his plane at my other uncles house and totally forgot about your shop! I'll come down one of these days! :cheers:

Nice work guys!! I talked to you at SEMA. Nice to see some killer work out the little town of Mollala. I have relative's that used to live there. Haven't been there for awhile - nice place to visit!! Keep up the good work. :thumbsup:
