I didn't think I would like the green BMW but it looks great ,so does the silver and blak one. The Chevelle looks nice too but I didn't expect anything else from you guys.

Sorry about the pictures being down. I uploaded a bunch of pics and it exceeded the bandwidth on my photo hosting account. Should be good to go now! Thanks for the emails and the heads up on the photo problems.

Yeah, the M3 is pretty wicked. It was really hard to pull the trigger on painting an entire car matte green. The matte finish is hard to layout and it can't be sanded or buffed after. But it looks bitchen now that it is completed. We were thinking that it might need a big white star on the door to complete the army look! but the machine gun would be more fun!

The Chevelle is going to bs the Brockmeyer rendering from our website. I'll try to get a thread on this car going this week.

The econoline is a funny shop project that has been thrown on the back burner for a few years. It was going to be a parts truck built in a 1970's van theme jacked up in the back with Cragers, side pipes, heavy heavy metal flake, octagon rear window, etc...

Thanks for sharing the pictures!

I like the M3 too. I was actually thinking about doing my '93 K3500 DRW CCLB in a matte green similar to that, with some gloss black 19.5's. Kinda like a (albeit slightly) modernized CUCV. I work for the Army, so I guess that's where I get it from. Might see about wrapping it instead of paint though.

What kind of wheels are those on the M3? I used to be heavy into the BMW mod scene, ran a forum like this a few years ago....I can see they still love their wide-bodies.

I've been holding out on these because they were either not pro-touring, or didn't really warrant a full build thread. The idea of doing a shop update seemed like a great way to show all of the other stuff going on around the shop.

We try very hard to keep the shop and all of the projects looking the way they do. It has definitely helped productivity having specific spots for everything and having a clutter free work area.

Anytime you are in the area definitely stop by and I'll show you around the shop. Ask for Bryan or me (Phil) and let us know you are a Lateral-G memeber and I'll be happy to show you around.

We currently do not have anything planned for an open house. We wanted to do something last year, but really ran out of time. We'll try to plan something this year and will definitely post details when we make our final decisions.

That Lincoln is sick! I love it. I'll have to keep my eyes on the car as it gets built.
