WSSix, when John purchased the car he knew there was work left to do on it and he's taken to another level again from what I'm to understand... Some of the trades did work that left room for improvement (that both of agreed on) and John is the right guy for that.. He is very talented and I trust the car will be great when he's finished with it...
ArisESQ, I will be dealing with that exact info over the next few weeks... That is a quick edited photo and I will need to deal with manipulating the rims and selecting tire sizes and and body mods require to achieve the look... I have the tool for measuring backspacing and will be testing options in the coming weeks to determine exactly how to achieve what I want and will post that here for others.... Summit sells a 15" x 5.5" X 10"wide rim that will likely be the launch point for customization to achieve the results. I will review this and take the steps to move the center and adjust backspacing accordingly within the rim barrels...

Well gang back from SEMA and my trip down to the Baja 1000 in Mexico where I was fortunate enough to cook for the BFG pit 5 crew (great group of people BTW)..
In my absence Tony Ramos has been doing an outstanding job of working on Cherokee Soldier... He took the balance of the car down and primed the shell... He also prepped, painted and half assembled the sub-frame,,, Hell he was a machine... Anyways I'll let the pic's do the talking from here...
and tomorrow we'll place the Carbon door skins on the car all things equal

Very nice Albert!! Question are the firebird skins the same as the Camaro?
Thanks Rick... The Camaro and Firebird door skins "are not" the same buddy..
The Camaro door skin (which I also make) has a horizontal relief/recess along the bottom of the door and the horizontal body line mid way up the door is sharper or more pronounced.... the inner door panel also has to follow these details as well....

Ok I'm not that up on the Firebird body's. But you make the same for the 2nd gen Camaro?? Interesting, pricing??
Rick they are roughly between $600 and $800 a side and unless you're doing an overall light car they'd be wasting money I'd say... The door skins are really nice, they're very straight as a part,,, but heck they are really more for a guy who wants everything and where weight reduction is critical in the build...
Don't get me wrong, I'll sell them but do you really want that much in a set of door panels?? Hell 600 X 2 = a good part of what it takes to buy a Ride Tech 4 link for your car and that would surely make more difference in my mind.... I really love what we do and this is a hobby/business so I tell it like it is bud,, guess I'm just a real enthusiasts at heart....
