Ring Brothers Reactor???
 

I have heard rumor this car had to be torn back down or is being torn down again? Saw it at Detroit and loved the car but it must have had some problems......Anyone know why or whats going on with it?

there is a pic of the car for reference...

I think it will be at the Eyes on Design car show in Detroit this weekend ?

Thats a great photo of that car Travis!

I stole it off there website

So its not in the shop now?

i heard awhile back they were having trouble with the welds on the rear susp or floor cracking multiple times, who knows?????

Mike hung out with us Monday night when we grilled steaks at Ken's (kwhizz) house, he didn't say anything about it being apart and we specifically talked about the car. Maybe it's one of those internet rumors?

Could be that they are just doing some freshening up or detailing in preparation for SMOY ?

this is not the place to be spreading rumors !

I heard rumors of a HUGE crack in a five-seven's paint job at Kenny Davis Hot Rods.:rofl:

lol, i did hear it awhile back who knows probably bs

Im not trying to start rumors...just interested in what was being done to car? Hell maybe the owner wanted to make with the car even better......

I know the owner Doug Hoppe,the rear suspension has had problems since he has tried driving it,it is at there shop getting things sorted out.The car won't be going any where till Columbus.No rumers,just fact.Talked to the owner last week.He said it runs hard thru the gears,and will drive it.I've done sevaral interiors for Doug(including the mustang)and know he will put it to the floor any chance he gets.

Sorry the car wont be at Detroit this weekend. Mrs Hoppe called me and said they would not make it because of some personal reasons. Didnt say anything about the car being down.

I designed the car and know it inside and out. Plus mike and jim are top notch in what they do. It did go back to the shop like tracy said to get kinks worked out. But what custom car doesnt. Lets not start rumors......

well if what your saying is true......the car is back at the shop to have the kinks worked out then what part of that is rumor.....? :question:

i heard awhile back they were having trouble with the welds on the rear susp or floor cracking multiple times, who knows?????
Um...maybe this..........

so put an end to the rumors, what exactly is being redone? not quite sure why your so defensive nobody said they sucked or anything, just bs'ing

The car is not being torn down - we had a few air ride issues that are being worked out.... we aren't sure if its a problem with the air ride system - or the installation of it. I guess we'll find out. Hopefully this will put an end to any "rumors" about this car - since I own it... hopefully I would know.
I do drive this car- it will be put to the test!

Glad to see you made it on Doug. Glad to hear she's being de-bugged so you can get out and let that Roush motor rip! :thumbsup:

How's the 35?

thanks for stopping by, i do not think anyone is questioning that the car is killer, just what has been floating around.
please hang out here, i think you will like it.
and let us know what turns up.:thumbsup:
i think it makes people feel better about there piles when even the top cars have sorting issues

This car is friggin awesome, saw it at BJ in the roush booth. The attention to detail is truly amazing!! I don't know of any car that did'nt need some kind of tweaking, after some driving. Welcome to Lateral Doug, stick around!

Its so nice when the owners actually say what is up with their car and not just rumors. My favorite mustang, their never done, done it seems. Cool car Doug.
