What a piece of work my guys turned out for Ty!!! Really. Pics just don't do the car justice! The crowd around the car all week was huge, as was the grin on Ty's face! I got some great shots and will attach them here...
Ty, Josh, Jerry and I just got back yesterday after yet another 36-hour drive straight thru to get home! Our minds are still fuzzy and Ty is still doing the "bobble head" thing today I'm sure! That guy can sleep anywhere! LOL We're tired, our legs hurt, and our butts are still numb from the drive but it was all worth it and all for a great cause! Those of you who met Ty understand... I still can't think of a more deserving guy! And if you were at the Pro-Touring.com dinner you saw how humble and heartfelt his appreciation is for all that we did collectively as a community to make this build happen!
We appreciate the accolades from all the members and sponsors very much! And the kudos from some of the big time builders who stopped by to check out the car, those builder to builder complements mean a awful lot too! Ty and I are close, both geographically and in the way that only this kind of build can breed a brotherhood. A brotherhood shared with many who helped to make this car happen and get to SEMA on time and in grand fashion! To all those involved, thank you from Fletcher's Customs!
The car needs a little bit more before she's road warrior worthy, but nothing an upper radiator hose fab and a fuel line won't fix! Then she's off this very next weekend to sit with the Pypes folks again at the Moultrie GA swap meet !! Rounding out the year will be a guest appearance at PRI with BMR Fabrication in their booth to show off that incredible torque arm/watts link rear suspension!
So stay tuned as we're looking forward to a few magazine features and some TV spots that are coming up in the near future! As Barry Meguiar said about our thrash to get the car to SEMA, we are certifiably "Car CRAZY!"
Thanks again to all our sponsors/vendors and to everyone who stopped by at SEMA for making it such an awesome week!!! And stay tuned for SEMA 2010 project coming soon!!
100's of pics being posted to my site as I type!!

Great to hear you made it back safely and all went well.... Chad I really appreciated the call on route home as well my new friend...
Anyone (especially an American) that has not seen this car first hand in person needs to make a point of doing so!!! Ty, Chad and all the people & sponsors involved made a piece of "American History" that needs to be covenanted, and supported in times like these in a very big way!!!! To me the car represents a "Great build" and stands for something greater than any one of us..... It represents the "Freedom, the sole and the strength of America" and how "incredibly strong" we stand as a united America under the flag (and just happens to be an outstanding rolling piece of art while doing so)... God bless a little patriotism as it is a beautiful breath of fresh air these days,,,, and congratulations guys. I tip my hat to all the vendors that plain "Just got it" and supported this significant build,, thank you.
Ty God bless buddy,,,,,,,,,,, You desire this.

P.S. Chad,,, Now you know I'm still gonna kick your butt next year buddy ;-) ROFLMAO....
