Hey all, I just wrapped up a multi view rendering for Jame Otto and wanted to share. For those of you who don't know him, besides family James Otto (https://www.facebook.com/james.otto.10?fref=mentions&__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARDTmcEIOsESQIikegdC2pbtZSjCzwE0 741qZarmYoCug-AmlTJ9OLUCf0VjwJafhOUmtC_ZiKDg_EqlfoehvU25qj_ZjlyU _4g0j4EJZZRQcxrv09NlnCsza3PVEkxNV9n3YVxDzBWlADfYz5 TJKizqw4DZsPA0CP8n8eJz2ml_JWTqvMn4iA&__tn__=K-R) has two serious passions, sharing his incredible voice in the country music world and tearing up autoX tracks in his Grand-dad's old Chevy pickup "For Pete's Sake". When James was young he had a green '72 Chevelle that never got away. Well he's now got it out to play again and is building a tribute to that original car, but this time it's way warmed over. I had the great opportunity to work with him on all the design work and here are the final renderings.

It's a unique build, keeping it low key with a stock-ish feel but plenty of upgrades and mods. It Includes a Roadster Shop (https://www.facebook.com/RoadsterShop/?hc_location=ufi) full chassis, Forgeline (https://www.facebook.com/forgeline/?hc_location=ufi) custom wheels that will then go into full production, big Baer Brakes (https://www.facebook.com/baerbrakes/?hc_location=ufi), a very unique LS intake system breathing through K&N Filters (https://www.facebook.com/KNFILTERS.ARG/?hc_location=ufi) sealed off to the hood, custom billet turn signal bezels that actually function as vents, custom front bumper and air dam mods, and a subtle rear diffuser and spoiler. Interior includes TMI Products (https://www.facebook.com/TMIproducts/?hc_location=ufi) seats and door panels with subtle custom touches, RideTech (https://www.facebook.com/ridetech/?hc_location=ufi) Tiger cage, a custom billet steering wheel that resembles the original, and a custom Dash with Speedhut Custom Gauges (https://www.facebook.com/Speedhut/?hc_location=ufi). I'm probably missing some cool details but you get the idea.

Check out more from James and partner Brian Finch (https://www.facebook.com/brian.finch.779?fref=mentions&__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARDTmcEIOsESQIikegdC2pbtZSjCzwE0 741qZarmYoCug-AmlTJ9OLUCf0VjwJafhOUmtC_ZiKDg_EqlfoehvU25qj_ZjlyU _4g0j4EJZZRQcxrv09NlnCsza3PVEkxNV9n3YVxDzBWlADfYz5 TJKizqw4DZsPA0CP8n8eJz2ml_JWTqvMn4iA&__tn__=K-R) with their new Music City Muscle (https://www.facebook.com/musiccitymusclenashville/?fb_dtsg_ag=AdwrTrhtx_dPxPdEGNDfUkpKX267UoZVn1d8Nc UhwPw1sQ%3AAdxlTiqcnw6-hQ_KOaO7hN73bYHeBgMnVqnF3JpEuFZGGQ) rod shop!

Cool.

I thought Brett Buttrey was building it?

Why would he have someone else build it when he and Brian Finch have newly opened their own shop? lol

Dunno.. But I just saw pics on Brett's FB page about him doing metalwork on this Chevelle...

I'm not totally up to speed on who's building what, originally he told me he and Brian would be building it. Maybe Brett's just doing the mini tubs? I'll send a note to James to see if he can respond.

Cool!

I had a 72 right after high school, green with white vinyl top, 4 speed 402.

That was in 74, one of the cars I wish I still had...

That's cool Joe. My first car I bought when I was 16 was a 69 Chevelle, that was '86. Same deal, wish I couldda kept it. :bang:
