I fall a little bit into the camp of don't get too busy with details on the car. For example I agree with others that Reactor had a bit too much machined bling on it - I thought it would have been just that much nicer with a bit more smoothness, and as others have posted this car might be on the edge of that as well. I also think both reactor and razor need to be about an inch lower over the wheels.
But two things - its obvious the quality and execution is as good as it gets.
And the main thing I really appreciate about the Ring stuff is the color selections and coordination- the brushed nickel plating on Reactor was awesome, and the mix of textures and colors is definitely their design strong point. THey've continued that strength on Razor. Just keep reigning in the desire to add too much doo-dads.
i am impressed how they stick to there guns on design .kona,recator,copperhead now razor all with the same details.
some builders have a set style and you can see that with all there cars and point one out in a crowd . now thats not a bad thing .
good luck with the car this year .

I think thats the "piece de resistance" those vents are awesome, almost concept like. I love them!

They put those side vents on everything they do. They did them on the first mustang.
The thing that makes them really cool is the use of the carbon fiber around them. That to me is what sets them off.
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

Thank you Sean for you personal input. I think you and Ring bros really nailed the "industrial" style wich is all over the high end super car styling nowdays. I fits on these cars superd!!!!
