I love the chrome.. striping on the hood. don't like all the bolts and lines on em.
I think its good, but not the best.

He has a great eye for design, when it comes to bikes, but with this car.... WTF was he thinking?

The only thing that makes me think he has any shot at designing a car, is that if you had ever seen any of the Ring Brothers' designs in their early years, you would have thought they weren't going to be around long. Now when you see their stuff ofver the last 4 or 5 years.... there aren't to many better designers out there (granted they are car builders and fabricators too, so it's not 100% comparing apples to apples)

I remember when I riveted my first car together...to replace the rust!

Thats a failure that failed in a world of failure!!!

As for the sheet metal and rivots, those are real. Not decals.

I can tell you that a lot of skilled man hours went into the design, fabrication, and finished product.

Like it or not, it was a ton of work. I bet not half of you folks on this forum even know how to cut sheet metal- but whatever...I am not here to argue or take sides - just commenting like everyone else.

Again, it was BUILT by TAM, not PJD.

Erik@Lashway

Cutting flat squares..uh..easy.! and rivets..uh easier.

try an english wheel and welds that get ground to smooth perfection...
PJD has the equipment and obviously the talent (look at his bikes)...this 5th gen..FAILURE!

Now that I think about it, I am not surprised with his chrome/matte black design. I mean it was built by a guy who is always wearing Chrome Sunglasses!

Please remove this from the homepage. It is going to give Camaro5 a bad name!

As my kids would say "Epic Failure"

Stick to bikes!

GOOD JOB PAUL!! I THINK IT LOOKS BASSASS!!!

They say for every negative it takes seven positives to cancel it out. I don't think I can post that many positive comments to even this thread out.
