Roadster Shop...ARE YOU KIDDING???

[garickman]

I'm just so curious as to how it is possible to do what they do. Where do their clients come from? Where does their talent come from? Where do their ideas come from? I mean seriously, who else can produce the number of cars they build at the level they build them.

I know there are some insanely talented builders and shops out there. Most of which are more than capable of building a Street Machine of the Year contender or even a Ridler contender. It just seems that EVERYTHING the Roadster Shop builds is contender.

I see shops all the time advertising that they are hiring, begging for talented metal workers, fabricators and welders. Most custom shops would love to have one or two people who can manipulate metal like the Roadster Shop. So how many guys does the Roadster Shop have to work on the insane number of cars they build? I mean go back through all there build threads and just look in the back ground of every picture. The shop is amazing, the tooling is amazing, the work area is amazing, the number of projects in the works is amazing, they have projects hanging on the wall for crying out loud. And, who uses $8,000.00 Forgeline wheels for mock-ups!

Who comes up with the body mods, interior mods and paint schemes? Does the client have any of these ideas, or do they just walk in with a blank check and say build me something know one else has. It just seems that every time I see a Roadster Shop rendering, a paint job, interior design, CNC work, I always come to the same conclusion.....Are you freakin' kidding me!!!

Greg, I couldn't agree more ........RS is definitely one of "The Top Shops In The UNIVERSE"!!!

I tell you it starts with customer with trust and a vision.
ideas comes from a great design guy, the renderings are very tasteful and current.
And it ends with a crew with ability that can pull it off.

They have to have huge capital backing. The old it takes money to make money. I agree their product they put out is top shelf. If I had the kind of coin it costs for a pro built car they would be in my top two assuming endless funding. I am not sure but I would guess this shop is a hobby for the Family with the means. Perhaps from a very successful Chicago based law firm..don't know for sure.

[Vince@Meanstreets]

very true but they have been building cars for a pretty long time with a lot of high end builds and Im sure they are smart with their money.

I used to think that about Prodigy Kustoms....
