Re: troy's radrides

Yep, one of my favorites. I check out the site every couple of months or so... I am a bit of a traditionalist, so I'm not too crazy about a metal front bumper cover or some of the body mods. However, I can appreciate the fact that it's very different and the top-notch fab skills that are going into making it. The car is called the "F-87 raptor." IIRC.

He has built some BEAUTIFUL cars! I wonder what he charged the owner to build this one... Thousands of hours have gone into making this one!

Re: troy's radrides

Looks like a $300K job to me - very very nice, but meant to be a show car, not something you want to drive.

Re: troy's radrides

Does it drive? I'm not sure it even does.

The work is definetelly top notch, beautiful metal work, perfect welds. Being a metal worker and welder myself I really can appreciate his work.

That being said, I think the styling of that car is very unique, but I do not love the way they made it look. It looks like a toy and no longer a car. I am also a huge fan is the third gen style so changing it that much to me is a sin. Although I do like suddle modifications.

I love the hood shape and size, Just without the louvers and vents. Front end is beautiful without the protruding spikes. The rear is a work of art, although I would love seeing it without the 5th gen tail lights and a bit more flush without the dips and humps. Side exhaust is nice I would have likes to see it come out either the front wheel well drag style or the rear section Bugatti style.

If you like custom fabrication, Check out the g-force 71' cuda. A local guy by me now owns it. Ive seen it run up close and personal. Although its not a third gen its one of the nicest cars Ive seen in my life, not to mention fully working, and not tailored. Check it out, the sound of the motor alone turns everyone head its truly unique.
