Good looking car, but it's almost to wild, the rocker ext can go, not real crazy about the rear spoiler, not crazy about all the front end stuff. I agree with Travis don't go bling crazy. That car is about to cross the line to a glamour rod.


I'm curious anyone know the colors they used on it? are those real carbon fiber parts or metal parts wrapped in a carbon fiber wrap.

Default Razor design sketches







Here are some of the design sketches that are for the Ring Brothers and Earve wollers camaro the Razor. So far the car has been a blast to work on and we plan to have a lot of fun with it this show season. I am reading a lot of the feedback and it seems like the car strikes quite an impression..which I think is good..I thank all of you guys for your comments (good and bad). I think if we had a car that struck nothing but postive comments than that means we did not do a car that would shake things up in the industry and try different things. Its been really great working with Mike,Jim and Tod over the past 4 years on there projects. They have a very talented crew which without them the sketch could not be pulled off. I have worked with a lot of fabricators and modelers in the automotive industry but I dont think any hold as much passion and talent than the Ring brothers and there crew. I can also note that even though I am the designer and somewhat consultant for there cars that at the end of the day the main design imput comes from Mike , Jim and what the owner intially wanted as a car. The body mods and over all exterior and interior were sketched by myself..while Bob thrash designed the whole paint scheme,logos and filled in the blanks and added his design imput as well. It was a honor to work with thrash as I have looked up to his work since I was 15. His touch added a great look to the car...Its important to note that we as a team strive to design a car with our own style. We are inspired by German sports cars, machine idustrial componets and an overall hard core look. We are always trying to do something that is different and at the same time keeping with our design language. We are not trying to hide or shave or smooth out the car rather we want to add to the cars original lines and adding functional and cool looking details. Thanks again for all the feed back
See you in Columbus
Sean Smith

That is just sick! I love the fact that they were able to come up with so many new things for a car that everyone thought they have seen it all. Obviously not everything is going to match everyone's taste or we would all be driving the same thing, but it is all very tasteful, like it or not. I happen to love it!

After seeing the build book for Reactor I'm really impressed with the whole crew at Ring Bros. Sean, your design work is awesome and the work Bob did on the camaro is equally impressive, look forward to seeing more of Razor.

I really like this car.Sure...some could argue the front end being too busy or the lower skirts or the engine but as a package,the craftsmanship,choice of colors,and all the subtle changes while still remaining true to what it is...to me is fantastic.100% fantastic...

Can you imagine Reactor and Razor sitting side by side in your garage...?

Love the car....but look at how clean that shop is! It's the details that make the difference.
