61's and 62's are one of my favorite cars. My next car after the Camaro is a 61 bubble top. Cool project Rodger sure this one is gunna be over the top just like everything else you guys do.

nice car to build.something a little different.the bubble top body styles just look soo swweeet with the right stance.do you plan on building a new chassis for it or just modifying the orig. frame?.I like the dash concept so far. keep the inspiration going.

Greg, I had a 62 while I was in college. Fixed it up (paint, wheels and rebuildt283) then gave it to my younger brother as a gift when he graduated HS then watched him destoy it on a daily basis. Really liked that car. They really take on a good look with the right stance and wheels. The renderings of the car you have are a beaut. Hard to keep up w/everything you've got going, man retirements a bitch ain't it!

Greg,
What color interior do you plan on using? Also, are you looking for 700 hp to the wheels or crank? I just read that the nick Williams 102 mm tb really opens those blowers up to more power and cooler iat's.

I plan on following the build progress the whole way

Those renders are standout.

I'm loving the brown as well.

Greg, you're gonna look awfully small in that big car.

He looks small in any car, except for when he goes to go-kart track.

Geez -- A guy goes out to dinner and comes home to find a whole bunch o shizzazel going on 'round here!



EEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAA



Thanks to all for the kind words.... and AL -- I got a good belly laugh out of that man! Too funny!

Just for arguments ---- RODGER likes the brown on the LEXUS.... I love the LAVA GREY on my wifes R8... Per this picture. They also have a grey brown color per the post by SKIP showing on an R8.

Here's my problem.... a car has to kick you in the nuts... and really can't be what "somebody else wants". And brown just isn't a color that does it for me. I'm kind of going of the looks and feel of - to pick one car - a CLS 63 AMG - a car that just turns heads - everyone knows it's powerful - but won't "win" any contests particularly - but you know it kicks ass... and they're not "orange" or bright blue.... they're BLACK - or metallic grey -- or silver (that's out)... SO when I picture the car done -- it has to say '62 updated big baller road hog kool like a big ass Mercedes. Does that make any sense?

Here's the wifes LAVA GREY R8 -- which is a color that really makes the body lines shadow and highlight. But we're not done yet or settled on the final color for exterior or interior...
