Oh my god Troy Treppaniers 60 Impala, 1990 Hot Rod of the Year

don't you think for 72k, you can build something yourself? I'd rather build up a project then just buying it. BUT if I won the lotto and just collected cars I'd snag it up.

i don't know about 72k especially with that color....

Yeah true but I figure with as long as it takes me to build a model I would never finish a full scale project :biggrin: :biggrin:
Its nice to dream though

....if you had that kinda money to just throw into a car without thinking twice about it... you'd have ALLLLLLLL the time in the world to fix it up. tell me if you won the lotto got $15million would you keep on working? I know I wouldn't.. I'd be building cars, models, bikes all day long. I'd quit my job the second they handed me my first lotto check!! hehe..

I remember when that ride showed up to a local show out here in Cali. It had a mob of people around it. Sweet looking ride. I have the magazine where they show the whole project being done, from the moment he bought it until it was finished.

whatever, you guys and your fucking egos on here. I know a bit about cars and an engine like that woul run around $20K so if you can do three and have enough left over to finish 3 cars you must know magic, Troy Trepanier is one of the premier rod builders in the country. If you can ou do him and for less money how come I don't see your work in the mags and how come your name means nothing to me??????

Dag, dont get mad or anything man but.... have you not been sleeping lately or something? strees at work or anything?
just curious man.


and i used the escalade as a refferance since they are 60k brand new base price and that would still give you enough to build a nice ass car for what he wants for that thing

Alot of fucking hot air if you ask me
Nothing personal or anything
