Would it be possible to get an angle shot looking right down the side, from the front to rear or rear to front, just to show the extra width?

Yep I heard that from Rodger first hand. Still saying how many people actual go watch the "Unfair" project on the other site. Might end up being a great car but in the end it will come and go and not do much for the Marketing of the shops talent and ability.

That is unless he has more work then he can handle right now. In today's world people want to see what your doing. Just think how much the BB forums have hurt magazine circulation. Most people on the boards want to see what shops are capable of. Perfect example is Rad Rides they let people walk around the shop take pictures fof work in progress and even tell people what they are doing and how they are doing it. Trust me I watched them stetch Poteets car and there work is incredible.

When people walk into a shop - anyone shop and take pictures they may not be a potential customer but someone may see the pictures they posted and say maybe these guys know what they are doing and head over to the shop.

Sorry to say Marketing these day's occurs on the internet more then most people think and pictures speak "LOUD" and text bores the **** out of people. You can tell me all day long that you did this and that and it's just bench racing.

Hype the car and the shop as much or as little as the shop owner wants it's Rodger shop but i think he is straying away from what made Ironworks what it is today.

Look at the Truck - how many magazines was it in. That is how you get customers. People want to be associated with shops like this.

ps - heck rodger is the leading poster in " Post your pics and links to inspirational fabrication work "

check out the link - people like this thread

You can see the dimension that the door was pulled in relation to the fender.

Thanks for the comments guys. I think Rodger and the crew did an incredible job pulling off what seemed like the impossible. It was very easy explaining to Rodger and Brycen what I wanted and they nailed it. Thanks again, I couldn't be more happy.
