Inspired me to do it to my 69 satellite. Found many challengers totalled form hail damage. Talk about a perfect doner

Was the paint job worth the wait? I don't have that much patience.

With your talent, why didn't you shoot the car?

Great build, great fabrication skills

Thanks guys. No, it wasn't worth it. Tom Argue Designs originally quoted 6-9 months to complete the the paint and body. 3 years later, he doubled the price and is just now finishing it.

I have my own personal car i'm building, and didn't have the time (or desire!) to do the paint on the RR.

3 YEARS!!!! To PAINT the car you gave him!!!!! It was most of the way ready to paint! and double the quoted price! What a DICK!

Couple more. Supposed to be done in 3 weeks.

You can see the exhaust tips under the trunk. I used an aftermarket LX exhaust. That’s how much further the trunk extends on the RR. Once the bumper is on, I’ll make some extensions to bring the tips out.

All I can say is WOW!
An incredible amount of work and all done top notch. Your fabrications skills combined with foresight are remarkable.
Very nice!

Not a fan of "body overs", but they have a lot of work into it. The most obvious issue I see is this:

They notched the strut tower to accommodate a hood strut. If you own an LX, go take a peak at how close the upper A arm is to the strut tower. They actually stamp a bubble in it to clear the ball joint end:

Trust me, I wanted to notch the tower for the hood hinge, but simply no room without severely limiting suspension travel. I hope it works for them, but think they have limited travel to about 1/2", then it will hit.

Wow!!!! Haven't checked in here in forever! What a car!!!!
