Default West Coast Customs builds G-Machines????

I was watching this show last night “west Coast Customs” because there was nothing else on. It’s really dumb & a rip off of the other East Coast Unique Customs or whatever. Anyway I saw a couple of cars in the background that peaked my interest, There was a maroon Chevelle & a Dark colored 1st gen Mustang Fastback. So, I went to their website & I found pictures of the Chevelle, a Grand National & a Camaro they built for Jimmie Johnson but, I couldn’t find the Mustang. I don’t really care for their work but, thought I’d share the pics I found with you guys.

They call it a “The Corvelle” bc it’s Chevelle w/ Corvette drive train

i've seen a couple cars here and there when i've been in southern california, and while i dont really like the STYLE that they go for, the work they do is pretty decent. the cars they built for that mtv show were probably just thrown together to look good on camera.

that being said, i like that grand national.

I hope other cars aren’t as much as a joke as jimmy’s car was it didn’t even run when he got it back. It has been totally redone since that picture. If you put masking tape on the paint it would pull off in large sections.

Just wondering if any of you guys watched this show last night? They grafted a 68/69 Charger body onto a 2007 Charger SRT chassis & drive train. It actually turned out pretty nice. I looked on the web for pics but to no avail.

Oh yeah & on the show some kid that works there backed into a 60 something Mustang Fastback, Put I big dent & scratches on drivers door & rear quarter.

I especially love the way they can do that car in 15 days WHAT EVER!!!!
the magic of TV i guess, why do they have to do that, is it really that impressive to build a car like the charger in 15 days??? i thin i might be a little suspecious of the quality. i like how the body wasn't even fit to the chassis and they had 4 days to finish the car .............. and guess what WE FINISHED IT ON TIME.
and how good it it for a uni body car to be driving arround doing burnouts with no roof or doors, think it might twist a bit?
JOKE
i guess it's all about the marketing and they have that figured out
