Default Bought My Rushforth's

Well i didnt buy them, but i did lock in the 20% off they were offering. im still about 6 months out on needing them, so i have plenty of time to decide what i want as far as colors and sizes.

i also met Jon from driversinc in person, and hes a really cool guy. he actually drove to my house on his wifes birthday to show me a few samples. i also saw the car in person and it looks really good. if you need wheels, give them a call because they are great to work with.

also, since i am still a little undecided on a color scheme, im going to have jason rushforth draw up the car. ive been in contact with him also, and he seems like a great guy as well. its unusual for me to get such a great first impression from people in this business, but im really impressed so far.
Tim

thats the feeling i got. ive seen rushforths work before in person and his ideas are amazing. and then when you add the knowledge of the guys at driversinc, youve got a great combo.

One more for Jon and Jason both being some of the most stand up guys you can deal with. I'm shipping parts of my Corvette wheels across the country to them, even though I could probably get the work done locally. It's well worth it to work with people like them.

Oh yeah, I'm also getting some Rushforth's for the T-37!

I get to see lots of his stuff before the customer does, it's kind of fun.
I am looking at a pre-final draft of Devin's Charger on the wall in my office!

Thanks guys, it's our pleasure, this stuff is what we 'love' to do.

Tim, I was not able to make it to the powder coater today, but I am scheduled to go there in the morning. I will have confirmation on that color sample for you tomorrow!

jon, not a problem.

i got the frame off the rotisserie and onto the old wheels and i put the body on the rotisserie. its going out to have the bottom blasted in the next couple of weeks. almost everything else is new sheet metal.

i cant wait for the new rushforths, i just need to make up my mind on which ones first. jason's rendering will help with that though.

Tim,

Have a GREAT match... they actually call it titanium. The color is 99% right on with your sample, so I would say it's a go. They had some suspension parts there in that color, and someone's rear end too. If you like, I can have a center cap shot in the color so you can see. Let me know. Also, let me know what you would like done with the piece I have.
