Car is home from Autokraft!
 

Well, the car is back home and I absolutely could not be happier. It turned out well beyond what I was hoping for. It's simply amazing.

I want this thread to be as much about Autokraft as much as it is about the car. The car wouldn't be what it is without their hard work. It was great working with Kurt. I had total trust in him. If he said it needed this or that, I told him to do it. He treated the car like it was his own. He takes incredible pride in his workmanship and it shows. He was always quick to point out what he didn't like (specifically the repo parts) and how he would remedy the situation. We talked regularly, he sent pictures of the progress every week, and towards the end, even more often than that.

Kurt had the car for 4 months, he media blasted it, did some metalwork on the doors, gaps, front end fitment issues, the core support needed some love, custom bent the door bars and rear crossbar, etc. I also had Kurt move the collector on the Stainless steel Kook's headers to better fit the floor. Talk about a shop that can do it all.

In the pictures you'll see an Autokraft license plate on the car. That will be staying there until the day I drive it. I'm extremely proud to say that I'm an Autokraft customer.


And on to the pics...

And talk about perfect timing. The Beeg's old Camaro was delivered 2 hours before I arrived to take mine home. It's out with the new, in with the old.

Scott...the car looks absolutely spectacular!! It's easy to see that Kurt takes enormous pride in his work. My car is in good hands! I can't wait to follow the build.

I was scrolling down looking at your shots and saw the hood in the background. I was wondering if it was mine...then saw the car..lol Very cool pic with the car in the background!

Car looks fantastic! :thumbsup:

Just an observation/question: Why a chrome rear-bumper and painted front?

Looks Great Scott, then went pretty quick too.

Looks great buddy! Can't wait to see it come together!:cheers:

Your car looks stunning!!

Probably a real endura bumper. If you are not familiar, this was an option in 1969. Rubber (?) coated steel bumper.

Looks great, Scott!

The car is absolutely beautiful Scott.

Scott;

Wow - oh wow, wow, wow! One of the sweetest '69s I've ever seen.

Dale Epp :cheers:

I thought you were crazy for repainting your car the same as it already was. It appeared to be a fantastic looking car from the beginning.

Now that I see the repaint I have to eat those words. That red is one of the best I have seen. Words cannot express how impressed I am. :hail:

Awesome Car :thumbsup:

Looks good to me, cant wait to see that car one of these days. It really nails down that pro touring look.

Thanks for all the compliments guy's. Paul & I had alot of fun on this build and Shawna is looking forward to a ride in that beast Scott.:yes: Of course thats after I get one.:D

Kurt

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words, everyone. Kurt and Paul are the ones who deserve the praise on the body and paint. I wish the pictures could do it justice.

I should also point out that the carbon fiber chin spoiler isn't done yet, Kurt is going to get a bunch more clear on it this week and get it all smoothed out.

As for the front bumper, it's an endura bumper, they are painted body color. I think it looks great.

Now it's time to start wiring it. :cheers:

Very Nice! More pics please!

Same here Scott...my buddy is shooting a '69 Camaro soon and I'll slip mine in for a few more coats of clear.:yes:

Car look amazing...paint/stance/wheels.:woot:

lol i was going to ask about that since i got mine this week and it looked the same, its getting cleared and smoothed as i speak.

awesome

Awesome Job!!

I love the front end, the endura bumper and the stock grill was a great choice over the R/S grill. The CF chin spoiler just tops it off!!!


Your son looks like hes ready to take her for a spin!! Wait until he starts dating! He is going to ask for the keys when its time to pick up the young ladies! :thumbsup: :D ;)

Tim

Looks great Scott, at least bringing it home today the weather was cooperative, keep it tucked in until summer and I hope I get a chance to see it out around sometime this summer. :thumbsup:
