Project ... 'TAKE-OVER'

[sheck44]

Well Gents ... It's been a few years and I'm back
When a 'too good to be true' opportunity presents itself sometimes you just have to say F$#! it, and jump right in.


Back story ... My good buddy has been working on this car for the past 5 years, he's spent a TON of $$$ on it and a LOT of $$$ in parts. Body and paint is an absolute 10/10 (as you can see) but he's run out of steam and called me on Friday to see if I wanted to take this project over and I said "Hell yes !!". I went to see the car with my mechanic / builder yesterday and even he was shocked to see just how incredible this car is ....


So, overall objectives for this car;
Complete this car in the next 6-8 months
Possibly bring it to Detroit 2025 & Motorama Toronto
Then it will be SOLD


Build Hi-lites
Elite Show car quality build
Black on Red
LS3 / Edelbrock Cross Ram engine
DSE front and SpeedTech rear
Wilwoods front & Rear
LOTS of cool sh&!


Super excited for this journey


So lets get started with some pics ...

What a great car, I’m glad you’ll get it on the road. It looks like they chose to keep the running boards flat black? Or is the underbody picture from earlier in the build?

[sheck44]

Thanks Ryan
He won't ba able to afford it !! LOL

Jim, yes its actually satin black that matches the undercarriage

Cheers
Steve

This might be a dumb question but did the factory leave the rockers flat black or is that just to keep the paint chip from appearing and being apparent?

[sheck44]

Morning gents ... not sure if the rockers were flat black from the factory, everything under this car is done in satin black
Looks like a chip but its just some of the polishing coupons that dried and didn't get wiped off ... the scary part about this build is that the car is absolutely flawless, as soon as it arrives in the shop next week we will be wrapping the entire car in temp wrap.



Cheers
Steve
