Well, we got it done and Michael and I are wrecked! Last night he and I worked till 4AM, then back in this moring at 9AM and just took it for a ride at 10PM. We have a couple minor things to shake out. the transmission is short shifting a bit, have to adjust the caster a bit, got a pesky new park lamp that won't light. But Joe, the owner, drove it and is one big smile. Joe is going to Caravan with us tomorrow to the event about 42 miles away. We are going to have to get a exception to get tech done in the morning before the 7:30 judging as we did not get there before 5PM today with the blue car. The other 2, the 66 Chevelle and back in Black 69 Camaro are both there already.

And HUGE thanks to our members Steve68 and Stealth71 who both came over and helped till 11PM. You guys have coins in the Prodigy bank and we cannot thank you enough.


Here are a couple quick videos, I will do a full tour and some show coverage tomorrow.

If you fix the driving lamp we will shoot the car on Monday for the magazine.

How many days to build it? Might be a good title. (too bad it's not 28 days, we could hire some zombies for the shoot).. lol

Nice work.

Default Good News, bad news

I just got off the phone with Frank. Car is finished and at the show, driven there not trailered. The sad news is that after all the hard work and thrashing, the car did not win gold, just wasn't in the cards.

However, three judges, average score on the car was 992!
that's right 992. The score was too high for Gold, cutoff for gold is 975, so yes indeed they win PLATINUM!

Congratulations Team Prodigy, another project well done and on time. I guess getting paid for this one will be easy money when you present the owner with the certificate.

Gold is for pussies anyways.. lol

Platinum is where it's at!! bling bling to the crew at Prodigy..


I bet that ticked off a few people the have worked on their cars for years only to get a lower score..

"So, how long have you been working on your car to get it to this point?"

Answer:
"A couple weeks give or take..."
