Georges new creation from Rad Rides debuting at GNRS

[preston]

I love cars in bare metal and have to admit that sometimes I am actually disappointed when I see them final painted. But I have to admit this is one fabrication masterpiece that I actually like better finished than unfinished.

I've perused these build photos many times, great project.

I guess it will be a while still but man am I looking forward to seeing the F87 complete.

Great job Rad Rides and George Poteet.

I just got back from looking at this in person at the GNRS. I turned into a little kid speaking with Troy. "hey mister look at my Torino" "When I grow up I want my build to be as clean as yours"

Troy is a class act and it was a pleasure to speak with him for a bit about the build.

And the build is better in person than you can imagine by looking at the pictures.

I scanned this car nose to tail today as well... WOW! Troy was great too, spent time with everyone who approached him. I'll be amazed if he can still talk Sunday evening!

Two thing would happen if I bought one....
1) Me trying to hit enter on the computer....
2) or once I did buy it and come home my wife...

Cut & Past from my rad rides thread.

Al you are correct this car is pretty incredible. Makes me want to start over on my camaro.

Those pics Marty....

I saw the car in person today. Third time, first in color. What struck me is it's so easy to look at the finished product and miss all those little details even if you catch a lot.

Beyond words and pictures really, just a superb build.

Any more detailed shot of those? I assume they go up and down?

There are hand cranks on the door panels. The AL pieces at the bottom of the lexan look like the stock Ford window frames. On the stock glass they are epoxied to the bottom of the window but he has them attached with those wicked aircraft screws.

Wheres the Panella motor hidden?
Seriously, the car is a fine piece of art. I had the pleasure of checking it out in the raw at Columbus.
