Default Big Doggie

Wow! There are some amazing cars under construction. Looks like if you want to be top dog in 05/06, you'd better have a full custom frame, full custom suspension that works, and the like. A few of the cars even have channeled bodies so they will look like airbag cars but handle like true supercars. I won't name names for fear of leaving anyone out. But congrats to all of you for for having the guts and gumption for elevating the game without losing sight of functionality. And congrats to Scott for showcasinng these special rides.

I--for one--cannot wait!!!

I agree with you, Steve!! The bar keeps getting raised! Where it used to be a handful of cars were "Over the Top" now they seem to be popping up everywhere like weeds. Function seems to be the #1 mindset for most & this time around that is my main goal more than anything!!

Big thumbs up for Scott for having his fingers in the middle of all this for us to enjoy!!

I think its cool now that alot of private owners/builders are able to build cars just as good as the big name shops are putting out. The playing field has leveled and its up to the imagination of the builder to take the next step.

And of course to a Thumbs Up to Scott whos a perfect example of an owner/builder bring his own car to the next level. Thanks


Tim

Default You know...

If it weren't for the likes of sites like these and people like Scott, there's no way the average person could have access to the knowledgebase needed to build a car that could compete on any professional level. My girlfriend and I are real rookies when it comes to playing in the area with the big boys but we have passion and some really awesome people like you guys supporting us and helping us facillitate our ideas. It's no full custom, 100K ride but it's hopfully going to turn some heads. I'm extremely grateful to have a venue that allows us to share this with other people...

I say hats off to everyone here for building top quality cars that perform as well as they look. With the increase in exposure in magazines and on TV, it won't be long before everybody is jumping on the band wagon. I hope we can keep this trend grounded so it doesn't fade away like so many styles have in the past. With all the awesome cars that will be finished in 05/06, I hope my 68 Camaro can compete with the rest.

Mike
