Roadtrip to Ring Brothers!

[XcYZ]

Today, Kurt (Autokraft) and I made a road trip to the Ring Brothers (www.ringbrothers.com) shop, taking up an offer by Jim and Mike to check out the absolutely stunning 69 Camaro that they are just finishing up. I can't even begin to put this car into words. It's incredible in every possible way. The craftsmanship, attention to detail, and the design... unreal. They've designed in a lot of tiny details that slowly unfold as you study the car. As soon as you notice one thing, you see two more details come out at you. It truly is automotive art, but what blows me away is that it's so tasteful and subtle. Every detail that they designed into it seemed as if GM wanted it that way.

Jim and Mike have given me permission (several times) to post pictures of Razor, but I'm hesitant. This car is going to be the Street Machine of the Year winner, and I don't know that it's my place to be just posting snapshots of this work of art.

I want to thank Mike and Jim again for allowing Kurt and I to interrupt most of their Saturday so we could take in the car from front to rear. If they didn't have to run an errand late in the afternoon, I'd STILL be there.

The bar has been raised.

Here are a few teaser shots. Look for more images coming soon as I talk to Ring Brothers again.

Also while we were there, we got the tour of their CNC machine shop. Here are some eye candy detail shots of their billet hood hinges and hood pins that were ready for assemby. I LOVE detail and precision, so I couldn't help but take these shots that show the beauty of these parts. Form follows function, but at Ring Brothers, execution is every bit as important.

Jim and Mike are two of the nicest pro-builders (and people in general) that I have had the pleasure of meeting in this hobby. Jim has taken time out of his day on more than one occasion to give me advice on the OLC project - from methods to products he has been really helpful. Jim told me of some of the modificaitons on the '69 - it is going to be an absolutely killer car.

Wow can't wait to see more pic's of this car. I also agree that Jim and Mike are two of nicest and genuine people out there. I was down at Indy good-guys show a couple years ago with Paul and My Dad and we had a great conversation with them about car stuff and also talked about Paul's Chevy II and they were so nice and it never seemed like we were bothering them to talk to us. I know it really meant alot to us that they did take some time to do so.:thumbsup: Joe

I saw the car during fabrication. It was impressive then. I can't wait to see the complete product. They are very nice guys. Maybe I'll get the opportunity to shoot the car. Just from the teaser shots, it looks really cool.

Scott, you're a tease.

Seriously.

We need more info and pics!

[96z28ss]

Looks awesome.
I am a bit dissapointed that they took the same style side skirt from the previous two mustangs and put it on the Camaro. The front valance looks to be a bit different.
Can't wait to see it all together.
