Completely understand Rodger, and I'm glad it's not being rushed just so it can be revealed at a show or win and award. Quality takes time. Keep up the good work I'm sure you guys are doing on it.

Due to some pretty major family drama, Dave the owner of the car is forced to sell this project to get as much money together as possible to help with some cash that is needed for the family drama . Since most of you may not want to go back through how ever many pages to see the details. I will post up some pictures.

I will not post up the price they are looking to get as the real price really included in the cost to complete and with the level this car was built toward that can be really expensive. The car is currently semi permanently attached to a chassis table that is to wide to ship and cutting the car off the table would ruin the car. It need work just to get it off the chassis table.














We were beginning to start on the front end of the car now that the sheetmetal was now in place. The car was designed to run a 295-315 / 19" front tire and a 335/20 rear tire. It has 4.75" of ground clearance and is 47" to the roof if memory serves me correct. This car was built to raise the bar. We have tried to keep it pretty quiet, but now due to the family issues the car needs to be sold.

The car is to be sold to someone who would continue the work on the car and the level of finish can still be determined by the customer, but unless your going to make a rat rod out of it, it will still be expensive.

If your serious about something like this email me direct. [email protected]

Now that this project is to this crossroads. We can make the rendering public as the new owner will surely have his own ideas to bring to the table.



The color was supposed to be pretty close to an antifreeze green color.

It will still get finished, I just hoping it will be by an new owner and not by me. Even though I'm considering it. I have to sell some cars to thin the heard. I have bought too many good deals lately.

I have had quite a few people show serious interest.

Sorry to hear about Dave's situation. It's always difficult to pry your hands off your dream car and give it up for any reason...

Wishing Dave the best of luck in a speedy resolution to the issue !!!

Apologies for mucking up the thread with a random question, but you obviously keep bare metal around for awhile. What is your process for protecting it ? Do you use a metal prep spray like Troy sells or just oil and elbow grease ?
