Vertigo is now at Gearhead Garage!

It looks really easy from the outside looking in. These are custom builds. There is an old saying. Custom ain't cheap and it ain't easy. If you're in a hurry to build one of these cars, you best find a new hobby. I have to add that once the car is complete it's not done by a long shot. There are going to be things that need redesigned, tweaked, and tuned on every car.

What you're doing Todd, updating your threads when you do the above is a big help to alot of us. Same when Steve Rupp and a number of others do. Much more educational and fun for us onlookers than just seeing the finished product pics.

Never said it was easy or in a hurry either. Iam not looking for undercarriage perfection that you can eat off of. Ideas though out a build can change and so does the budget. You right about one thing "once a car is complete it not done".

Like Jeff hanson's TECH9 is a work of art. If I had bought that, I don't think I could not drive it because its almost in my opinion TOO nice. Even your camaro in my opinion is almost too NICE. ) in a good way. (I lived in Vegas for 10 years up until the end of 2007 and the construction trucks and debris on the roads ate the crap out of my daily cars.)

If a chip or a small scrach happens I don't want to have a melt down over a 20-30K paint job either.

I give credit where credit is due... Thanks for the suggestions...

Blessings,
AMS

I agree on not making the car too nice that you worry about it all the time. I insisted on a "driver quality" paint job and not a $15-20k job like many cars have and still get driven. That was one place I didn't want to overspend and would not.

I agree... Tech 9 and Vegas' 69 both have killer paint and body work! Too nice for me.

That's messed up! I think I might have had a problem with that!

Gearhead kicked majoe ass so far this week and things look great for some Saturday music.

Got some exhaust pics today from Jason. It's a mixture of Stainless Works, Magnaflow, and Spintech. He is gonna pull it up a notch higher for more clearance he said. I think this looks pretty sweet. And yes it will be loud.

Looks good! Lets hope it doesn't boil the fuel...remember what happened to Scott on PT? Might want to do some turn downs on the end too.....

It's getting real close my friend!
