Oh good, they made it! Thanks Scott. If I had noticed that he left the keys in it, I would have been telling y'all about my new "aquisition"! :_paranoid
The pics don't do this car justice. It's better looking in person. Very clean and simple.

I like it! very nice looking car.

Does anybody know who makes those hose clamps. I love how clean they look.

Nice car.

The interior gave me some inspiration.

Anyone know if you can buy interior panels without upholstery?


Jan

They are made by Gates, they are like heat shrink tubing, when you need to remove the hose you just cut them off.

I found the web site can't figure out who sells them.

stunning red!
 

that look great! are there any specs on the car? engine size whels size etc
:thumbsup: :hail:

I don't know any details about the car, but they should be easy to get soon. Every magazine and automotive tv show was covering the event.

Any parts store that sells Gates products can get them. :thumbsup:

You can just use the upper metal part of the door panel, and make the rest using "door panel board." It's looks like a real dense type cardboard material. :thumbsup:

Nice!!! :thumbsup:

that thing looks like it is two inches off the ground and 30 feet long.. like a cruise missle..

Did it win the car show part or some sort of race/event they had? Either way, nice car :)

I think its basically their "best of show" award. I also think they get like $5000 worth of Year One parts, :hail: .

cup car
 

I am suprised it was selected (show car winer) Don't get me wrong, the car was very straight and well done, but it reminded me of an early 90's car. Everything was painted red, rear end, suspension, bumpers, etc. Kind of like the cars Troy use to build. Stock front suspension with coil overs. He let the coil overs all of the way down to get it that low. At that ride height the headers were about an inch off of the ground. Again, I am not blasting the car as I spoke with Scott the owner for quite some time and he is a great guy. I guess that I have grown to like the cutting edge cars or things that I have not seen. I would have never thought that I would give a ZL-1 camaro 10 seconds of my time, but if you have seen one you have seen them all restored back to stock.

I guess with all of that being said you can tell I am not a numbers matching restro guy nor am I really a trailer queen show car guy...I like the cars that are built to a high level and then driven in a way that they were intended. I realize that this is not for everyone and some would not want to risk their investment...which makes this hobby appealing to a wide variety of people with varying opinions. Its your car, do with it what you will.

That is why I like this site and the whole pro-touring movement. People are building great cars with the focus on getting them out to drive.

It won the Year One Cup, an engraved glass cup shaped trophy, which is essentially "best of show ". Plus $5000.00 in Year One parts. The car is also supposed to go to any YR1 sponsored shows throughout the year, but I suppose that is up to the owner, too.

Holy crap.. $5k? Best ive ever gotten was a damn jacket.. ;)

Ironic that the car least in need of parts gets that kind of prize.. should go to the "best under construction".. lol..

Nice car though..

Just make sure you use metal (like the original) and not el cheapo plastic like the repop panels have or it will be warp city eventually :)

I think its a cool car. I love simplicity, not alot of chrome, not alot of flare...simple red paint. I like all that about the car. Interior is simple but stunning too.

Yet, and I never criticize cause it is their car and they do what they want, and should be happy. Yet for some reason I dont like the huge wheels on this car, normally I can like 20", but some reason it doesnt work for me with this car, the fronts seem too small with too much tire compared to the back, I dont know...but its still an awesome car and deserving of the award.

Tim

I kinda agree with Payton. Very nice straight foward car, simple and looks well done. However, I think that there is more than one car on this site that is several tiers above it.

Mike

I like last year's winner better. Remember? black 68 'vert. This car is a modern street rod. Remember they thrashed last year's winer on a road course on Speed? Somehow, I do not think that this car will receive the same kind of "love".

last year's winner
 

Yea, that was Teeters car and it was there as well. I spoke to him about that and they ran his car pretty hard. The Goodmark Nova was there as well and you probably saw it on Dream Car Garage. The guy said that the show took it out and did about 50 burn outs with the car and blew up the motor. When Goodmark got the car back it was trashed.

I don't remember who made the statement about the winner getting $5000 in parts and his car is complete...I know what you mean. I guess they are giving them a jump on their next project.


Scott, the owner of the red car, said that he had a nicer 69 that was almost complete. Big rim and tire combo with bags front and rear. I want to say that car is black. I can;t wait to see it.

I remember that car. It was super nice, saw it at GG Columbus. Didn't get enough "love" for a top 5 though. Stiff competition.

I remember seeing the black vert on Speed. I like it better than the 69 but it still doesn't compare to some here. Both cars are awesome, but to me they are not the complete package. When is one of us gonna stand up and show them how it is suppose to be done.

Mike

next year
 

I will enter mine next year. minimal bling and heavy on zing. I will probably have a better shot at a RSE type event.

Last year
 

Teeter had his car out on the track this year too. I guess he doesn't mind running it hard. He doesn't like it to get wet though! Not that I blame him, but just before it rained Friday, he was getting it under cover quick!

I like that phrase. Can I help you sir? Why yes, I'd like a g-machine please--to go. Easy on the bling, heavy on the zing!
