Yep, Pro-Touring Mopars are hot. Can't wait to see it! :thumbsup:
Thanks Guys, glad you like the artwork. It is one of the new Hemis in there but it was purchased before they released the 540" ones

Very cool........I dig the one off gassers!
Check 'em close Travis. They are 10 spokes but they aren't gassers. All the spokes are on the same plane. You'll see what i mean in Vegas.
Say hi to Kenny D for me!

I didn't look very close...... I thought maybe they were just reversed dished gassers like we have talked about before! Nice work by the way (as normal)
glad to see you have joined here......
JayR you have a PM

Jason does all of our design work....he is very talented and is very easy to work with I highly reccomend him to anyone....turnaround time is the best I have heard of also!
Jason and I have been talking a lot; look for a lot more of his work to be shown here on Lateral-g. :thumbsup:
I'm starting to realize all the perks of being the site administrator. Don't the SEMA rules apply to you?? This is like insider trading info! ;)
I guess Ill be patient for some more pictures.

Tim, Jason let me post all the pics that I've seen of it so far. I'm not holding out on you.
I plan on taking a bunch of pics of it while at SEMA. Jonny will have his laptop and I'll have my digital camera, so look for daily updates from the show. :thumbsup:
I'm not holding out either. The final assembly is being done about 600 miles away and those pics were the last time I saw it but happy to build a little hype! :D
Thanks Johnny, If you like the site, check back in 2 or 3 weeks and it will be completely revamped. Those images have been up for over 3 years.

They're on page 12-13
I had seen this exact pix before but in smaller versions, so you couldnt see the paint details in the side stripes... nice...
I can't wait to get started on my Barracuda... of course it wont be this nice, but I can try...
I had planned on doing that same paint layout but with a maroon top and silver bottom section. So when I saw this car I saved the pix for future reference.

IMHO, that car didn't get the recognition it deserved in Vegas. It was in the top three on my favorites list at SEMA.

I thought joe bogans Cuda was nice :wow:
:hail:
Thanks everybody! Glad it was well received and agree it didn't quite get it's due at SEMA but the cover of Hot Rod is a big feather in everyone's cap on the team and will look good in the portfolio for years to come.
Lots of hours at the drawing board. Nice to see it come to life!

Very impressive car and the write up in Hot Rod was excellent. I would love to see more build pictures and it seems everyone else is interested also.
I wish there was a build book on all of these top notch cars.

They're actually red lexan backed by L.E.D.s in stock shaped openings that are smoothed off. The main thing was to recess them below the sheetmetal so they don't look flushed like some of the lame credit card slot street rod lights. Kevin at Kreations made almost everything but you can get similar results at home if you're crafty.
