Autoshield in SE Charlotte?

Not sure. My builder in Cornelius has the contact, and from what he tells me it is an "independent" guy who works mostly out the dealerships on Independence Blvd - I believe his quasi-headquarters are Hendrick BMW - but my builder told me he is a mobile outfit and would come to us. I have seen his work on two other projects my builder worked on - Audi R8 and Ferarri Modena - both installs looked right.

Separate note - trying hard to attend the Charlotte Good Guys show end of this month - hope to see you there. Maybe autocross the Vette???

Car is badass. Hope the paint issues are worked out for you. Is Adam still working on this?



I had a customers car done there. Complete custom cut full frontal. Full fenders, hood and bumper, and mirrors. My customer was not happy at all, edges were not cut cleanly, jagged and not smooth, some bubbles, didn't pull windshield squirters but cut around them. I don't install these products, but I think wrapping that material around an edge will no doubt roll up, rather than just cut it back from an edge a 1/16".

I think these guys bank on plotter cut installs for the bulk of their business. Custom cut is another animal.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the props. Paint has really come out great. Worth all the extra effort.

Couple of pics:









See my response above in previous post in regards to the clear bra install. Will be there during install so hoping I can oversee the fit, finish and quality of final product.

Can you PM me the guys info?

I autox'd the Vette at RTTH's 2 weekends ago - did horrible but I had a fun time.

I might be able to Autox on Sunday - but my car runs into that issue of being too new... LOL!

My Camaro is finally home! Exactly 2,200 days since my first Pro-Touring Project Update Post! Yep…..you read that right……..that was Two-Thousand-Two-Hundred Days!!!! Time, money, patience and more time and money……..all part of the car building process here for me.

Spent the last week in October doing some tweaks with my builder, some test drives on some awesome North Carolina roads, brought the car by my brother’s shop at Hendrick Motorsports to show some of the friends I have made there that have helped out on the project the final product, then topped the week off by attending the 2011 Good Guys Southeastern Nationals at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Was great fun! Got an amazing spot on pit road to display the car, saw some awesome cars, got to see some heavy metal attack the autocross, met some very nice people at the show, and got to cruise the race track under the lights on Saturday night! Attached a few pics below!

My big plans for the winter are straight forward – work hard to tweak and improve all operating systems. Even though the car runs and drives great – I have a punch list of things that need to be addressed. As we all know…..they are never really done……it’s an evolution.

In the process of putting together a “thank you list” for all of the family, friends and vendors that helped make my build a reality. The list is quite long. Amazing how many relationships you make in building a car……it’s been a great experience throughout. Very much looking forward to expanding my friends base by attending as many Pro-Touring events as possible in the future. Hope to see many of you there!

[Protournova]

Wow... long road but worth it!

[John Wright]

So cool.

[SRDzuess4u]

Scott,

I remember reading this when you first started.....good lord your project turned out nice....another legend for sure. I hope you drive the hell out of this thing....dont scratch it though...lol....J/K....congrats man....very nice.

[syborg tt]

Awsome - if it makes you feel better my truck took about the same time. But in the end it was well worth it.

Plus like you said the friends I've made are worth more then the truck will ever be.

[solarguy09]

Holy Cow.....

I just found your thread... Incredible....

A whole league of your own. Nice job.

Super sweet.....

I feel the need to start over again, haha...

[454bug]

Hey Scott,

You car is definitely one of a kind!!

The color is SO awesome!

[LeighP]

Great looking job...nice to see someone paint a car something other than red or metallic grey.

[Tig]

From the looks of it, it was well worth the wait. It looks amazing, love the wheels to.
Glad the line lock works, hah.
Congrats.

[ZuperZport]

Hey Guys –

Thanks for all the comments on the finished car. It’s been great to get your feedback as the build progressed and am glad to say I have made some new friends from start to finish. Many thanks to all of the mods here at Pro-Touring.com that put in endless hours to allow all of us to share in our great hobby. I look forward to seeing many of you at a Pro-Touring event soon.


Hard to believe we went from "this and this":





To "this and this" in only "seven short years" (Ha-Ha!):





Detailed below are all of the great people and companies that worked with me on my Camaro build.

I want to thank them all for providing great products, tremendous service and going the extra mile to help out anyway they could.

Our hobby only gets better and better everyday thanks to all of their efforts.

Hey Guys,

Been awhile.....figured it was time for a quick update.

Got my first ever ink from attending the Goodguys South Eastern Nationals back in October. Pretty jazzed about it considering I have been reading car mags since I was a pup and always dreamed of having my car grace some pages.



Been going bumper to bumper on the Camaro since November. Every operating system on the car is in the process of getting sorted out. Yes the car was "done" (done said lightly).............however.........I want to say this in a somewhat "nice way".............lets just say the car was NOT safe and it needed a more professional touch.

Rather than open up too many areas at once I have focused on specific sections and work on each one until complete. Keeps things organized and allows for target completion dates instead of being all over the map unsure when it will be done. With that being said and considering where the progress is now and what needs to still be done I unfortunately will not make the RTTS again this year.....too many areas to button up before the date...and I want to get some seat time in the car before I thrash it on the race track.

Here is a shot of one of the many new parts going on NASCAM.........custom built radiator with built in Oil and Power Steering Cooler, Twin Fans and custom shroud:



More to come!

[sr73bu]

Car is amazing as usual Scott!.... bring it out to RTTS, show off all that hard work... screw seat time and all that non-sense, just have fun... I dont want to wait another year to see this car in person!!! hahaha

[KevinK]

Just read through most of this thread, ...Wow!!
Awsome car, ...and the shots of the 2nd paint, that shop is CLEAN!
