That is one I had at the shop when you were there, not the one that was for sale.
Owner shipped it in from California but resides in Taiwan

Only way I am going is if someone wants your car, since it is already there, then I can just fly in rockstar style!

I really DO NOT want to build for the show this year, I would like to apply those energies in other areas for one year.

Nah, I am thinking I could work for you for that last week to "keep that SEMA feeling"!

XcYZ 02-25-2008 05:19 AM

Love the rendering, that's going to be a great car.

Stuart Adams 02-25-2008 07:54 AM

That rendering is cool.

Nate_ERC 02-25-2008 08:12 AM

Frank why the lack of enthusiasm? It's not like SEMA deadlines are stressful or anything. :willy: Last year our best employee said that he would quit if he had to do it again. :cheers:

Stuart Adams 02-25-2008 08:24 AM

Having a car at SEMA is fun but very stressful indeed.

Tony@AirRideTech 02-25-2008 08:46 AM

Good looking rendering! That car reminds me of our 2nd gen nova ... " butternut" when we first got it.......

Nine Ball 02-25-2008 01:06 PM

Frank, you need to start up the trend of having badass pro-tour vehicles at PRI in Orlando. Now THAT would be easy for you.

DOOM 02-25-2008 01:57 PM

Jason are you planning on stretching the rear wheelwell openings on this car? It always seems the the 66 and 67 Novas rear wells are to small for any nice size wheel. I did them for my friends 67 and it made a world of difference in the way the car looked!!We also moved the front well forward two inches.

I thought I did that! It is hard to get into PRI, I have been really lucky the last couple years to get invited. But this year I tried to get another in, without being asked, DEAD END! For whatever reason, everyone has small booths at PRI. Funny story, but after bringing Project Prodigy to PRI for the Hot Rod & restoration booth, they said they will never do a car at the booth again! Said the car got more attention then the cute girls in the booth, and all anybody wanted to talk about was the car! I have heard that from a few people, although Butler absolutly LOVED havng EmptyNest in there booth.

Two Guys Garage did a nice little blurb on EmptyNest on two guys go to PRI, we did not even know they did it.

Back to Jason's post.

Nice Jason, your projects always turn out awesome! :thumbsup:

It is still in the shop just sitting in our little showroom.

YES, planning this also ! Should make a huge diff as the the wheel well just looks tight.
A 20" rear wheel might go in but most likely a 19"

It's one of the biggest mistake when anyone does one of these cars!!. We were going for the 20's on my customers car but it looked alot better with the 19's.Sorry I usually do'nt like to put my two cents in ,I did'nt think you where going to leave this alone.:thumbsup: :hail:
