So you built the parts out of metal or foam, then digitized them, cleaned them up in the software, then CNC machined them out of wood before hand laying up the molds and then the final parts ?

Ok that's a little more involved then I'm going to be able to replicate in my carport/shed.

With the shell back from powdercoating, it could head toward the paint shop for the color scheme layout and paint:











Thankfully the whole paint job only took about 2 minutes!....

Since you have all the plugs sitting around collecting dust just in case of an issue.....How long until a Rampage body kit will be available???

We have been asked this quite a lot.
With the vastly different than stock ride height, track width, suspension, chassis etc, it simply wouldn't work with a 'non-rampage' Camaro.

If you want us to build you one though...

A few years back, I had some old vintage gas cans I threw up on Craigslist. Someone sent an email saying he would take them and came right out to pick them up. Turned out it was someone from the Roadster Shop. He said they were putting together a room to take pics of cars in using vintage stuff. Can't remember his name, but was a nice guy who took some pics of my 79 Trans Am while he was here. Probably talked for about an hour and a half about car stuff.

This is seriously absolutely retarded!

Wow, you guys have absolutely raised the bar again. The engineering of this thing is a work of art. My jaw just keeps hitting the floor on this build.
