Here is another project we just delivered. My guys are just knocking out one killer project after another. My personal schedule has been unbelievable. Flew to California last Weds, took the red-eye home, got off the plane and jumped in the truck and delivered this bad boy to North Carolina, picked up a 79 Trans Am in South Carolina today for the full treatment. Whew, I am wore out. But a smiling ultra happy customer like Doctor Chris here makes it all so much fun! I think we really made his dream come true here!
This car is the perfect example of how a fairly stock car with nice paint can be easily and quickly converted into a top notch Badd Ass Pro Touring car without the time and expense of paint jail. This car was a nice body and paint car, had some TT2s, a crate GM ZZ350 and some Scat Pro Car Seats. Otherwise pretty stock.
Chris and I did some serious Project Planning and both really had the same vision. I think the theme came out incredible! I simply love the attention to detail and color coordination of the red stripe, red brake calipers and red-line tires. The weather for the trip was perfect, and just to show it off I hauled it on my open trailer (behind my black truck), People were literally running off the road with thumbs up.
Besides all the major items below, we did some sanding and buffing, some shaking out of some little issues. lots of misc little things.
Long story short, even with the hella expensive wheels and tires (Chrome lip, Diamond Cut, Red-line tires, your talking $6700 here)......even with the high dollar wheels, the total bill was just north of $40K for the entire conversion! That is paying us to do the work and the parts! And it was done WAY faster then a scratch build.
So finding a nice paint car and converting to a Pro Touring car it is a real option for guys wanting to do a Pro Touring car.
