ORIGINAL: 1 Bad Mirada
What Im getting at, is that I couldnt imagine buying a car that is likely going to cost 40,000 with markup, if not without...and giving it to "major car enthusiasts" to have it painted and striped, without some example of your shops capacities. Ive never seen any shop that doesnt have some example of what they are capable of. The body shop next to my dads shop painted an original altered wheelbase car named "the yankee peddler"..a 1965 coronet with a heavily built hemi in it...the car sold at auction for over a million dollars. When someone comes in considering having their car redone, that is among the examples that they use.
My sponsor turns out dozens of 8-10 second hemi cars each summer, and gets top dollar to do so, and when someone is considering buying a bob george racing engine, he has at least 40 examples of his work. even my car has proven to be an example, having been in mopar muscle and mopar collectors guide, although it is the slowest in the stable, but the rest of the group is running 500" wedge motors or hemis, where i am running a low compression small block.
ive seen "billboard stripes" on a neon...these are offered by many vinyl companies, and ive seen some people have them painted on...im just curious what youre using as an example for your expertise, or as a basis for comparison for those who are going to hand you their 40,000+ dollar car for dress up and suspension work.
My quick answer would be that we consider ourselves a Design Studio. We are partnering with a handful of different companies to build the best vehicle we can. With that being said, final assembly of our vehicles will be done at our yet to be announced Shop.
There are a lot of details that will come out October 31st that will answer hopefully every question you've had today. There are some details I could discuss today, but we've decided to finalize all our plans and release them on October 31st, the week of SEMA.
