OK I am building 2 of these cars right now and I am going to post both of them in the same section so don't get confused. They are both being built as customs. One is going to be a radical custom and one will be a mild custom.

Here is a rendering of the mild one it is Todd's car he owns the Interior shop, He rents a shop out of my building our shops have been located together for over 5 yrs now. Todd goes through cars. I build him something about twice a year. Most of his stuff makes it to SEMA and get featured in magazines.

OK now for Garrets 54. This car doesn't have a rendering and I will start off with some of the pics I have. I will have to back track a little on this one as we go along because I dont have all the pics on this computer.

In this pic Garrets car has already been bagged and channeled. So he is tucking a whole lot of wheel.

Grunion, the person that does the renderings for these cars.. Do they have a business doing just that? Or is it someone that works for you?

How long will a project like this take from start to finish?

The fastest build we have done for a ground up custom was the orange Merc. It was done in 3 months. Usually the thing that slows most people down is the money. The more money you spend the faster it gets done, a lot of times I wait months for people to save money to do something else to there car.

The work you guys do is incredible!!

Those cars sit in your shop the whole time while people are saving? Probably best not to let it leave or they might get ideas of trying to do it themselves kinda deal?

Most of the cars leave as soon as what they have paid me for what is done I cant afford the room to store them.
