My shop will be handling the complete build of the car.

Hope you all like the rendering by Ben Hermance (http://www.hermancedesign.com/). We are looking at a black cherry type of color for the car (as it stands now...)

I like it. Will it have a black vynil roof? Or am I seeing things?

nope- no vinyl roof. Looking for a restomod look- clean lines and killer paint.:hurray:

Sweet! What are your plans for the car?

well since our shop is doing it to be donated to to give away- Im not going crazy... probably just keep it clean and simple, updating things a bit , new interior, rugs etc.

We use donated parts and stuff too so if anyone wants in on being a sponsor -let me know. I can have the Right Coast send you info.

I'm still looking for an interior guy donation and a crate motor for it too- nothing wild- maybe a small block. I have a 305 but would prefer a crate motor 350.

Want it to have fun power and not look like a numbers matching , 'everyone has one' Nova.

I think it will turn out pretty cool and a great giveaway for someone who attends the Right Coast (http://www.rightcoastcars.com)shows. Not a bad deal for having a weekend of fun- walking away with a car.

Wish I could win it. lol :yes:

someone is going to be very lucky i also agree that everyone tries to build an original car i personally like the custom cars loved the chip foose novacane that he built and that car ranks right there beside it it is freakin awesome :bow: :thumbsup: :beers: :yes: :D :hurray:

well, anyone who attends Right Coast event as a participant can be one of the potential winners of the car(s)> They pull winner tickets at EVERY show and the only requirement is that yu attend the Syracuse show in July for the big reveal on the winner... Worth going to if not for the 6800+ cars and 375 acres of show space...

If anyone is within New England (or not) and wants to trek in to be a part of the build team,. please contact me with your qualifications (mechanical, autobody,paint, metal fab) and Ill give you a call or PM. There will be lots of evening and weekend work on this build to get it ready! thanks:yes:

where could i find a custom bumper like the one in the drawing of the car or could you tell me how to do it

Im probably going to use a bumper with just someminor metak fab mods Ill do myself. Havent thought that far yer and the rendering is a close guideline so we will see....

Forgto to add that Fesler is on board for hinges and stuff (billet) and Cool Flex for a hose kit now.
COOL

when you get done modifing that bumper could you post some pics of it

no worries-ANYTHING we do to the car will be posted - I want everyone to see how it gets transformed!

Looks like an awesome build, can't wait to follow some progress. Would love to check it out sometime,
Dan

the car in whatever present form it will be at - will be shown at the Syracuse Nats this year in my booth/Air Ride Tehcnologies booth. I hope to have the suspension and maybe the general body in primer for the event.

Here is a link to some video:

Hey- thanks for asking- I havent gotten that far yet but I usually weld tabs on the back of the bumper for the fog light mounts and I use thin round tube stock for the recessed part of it. In the liscense plate filler I usually bend and weld (hammer form) sections and tig weld them in.

Hope that helps to explain. Ill try to post pics when I get to that point.

If anyone is so inclined, Ill be having a jam session ont he car next weekend again - would love some talented people to come and have some fun with the car!

Very Nice! Somebody is going to have a good day, make that good life! when they win that car.

When's this car supposed to be finished? I wouldn't mind swinging up one weekend with some long blocks if it'll help any.

Im hoping to have this done in early June so it can be shown completed for a month before going to Syracuse to be given away. Feel free to contact me at the shop if you want to come up and be part of the build team! :yes: thanks
