This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Paul Cassidy really knocked this thing out of the park! His workmanship and attention to detail have been second to none!! Dealing with Paul is also an amazing experience, he’s the real deal and glad to call him a friend

    The whole car was stripped to bare metal, 2 new quarters installed, lower fender repairs, installed all new glass except for quarter glass (unavailable). I can’t wait to get it back to Chattanooga, TN and start putting the finishing touches on it and put the procharged tomahawk back down inside of it!!

    Also want to thank Denny Moore for helping with the transporting of vehicle this weekend!

    Thanks for the kind words Mark! Glad to have had the opportunity to take part in the evolution of this car. For being a southern car, it certainly had its issues. But we ironed those out and came up with a fresh take on the blue it was wearing since the 90’s.

    This car has all the right parts top to bottom. It’s going to be killer when it’s finished. Looking forward to seeing it go down the track soon!

    I also want to thank Denny for taking the time to meet me to pick up the car and get it a little closer to TN. And he went home with some goodies of his own as well.

    On the bumpers,what is the silver you used? I have been wrestling with the color I want on my fiberglass bumpers and that looks exactly what I am looking for.

    Pat, it’s House of Kolor Orion Silver. To save some money, I had the paint shop mix it in PPG Omni plus base. Then followed up with 4 coats of PPG DC 4000 clear. I’ve used it before on some small parts as I think it’s one of the brightest silvers out there. First time for me on large parts and it’s really nice when the sun hits it.
