It's been like 4 or 5 years since I looked at your build thread on that, and man that thing turned out bitchen.

 

Can you tell us how this came about? Did his company approach you?...really great vid and magnificent ride

 

Just watched the video,

Two comments

1 looks like you need some front shocks, I bagged a caprice for my brother and his rode fine with no shocks to, but we still should of used some.

2 tell jay to comb his damn hair

 

I've got the Rodder's Journal version...your car is incredible!

 

1. You're the first one to notice besides me. I have RCD shocks sitting on my work bench, but it's considerably more difficult to install them now that the car is painted and finished so I haven't done it yet. Shocks and plumbing the A/C are the last two big things I need to do.

2. It's Jay's day off, so I think he dresses that way.

 

I got a tour of his garage right before Christmas and brought my Rodder's Journal in case I saw him. Jay came walking through the shop so I snagged him and he was sincerely interested in the car. He looked at each page and asked questions, then he handed the magazine back to me and asked me to bring it for a video. He put me in touch with his producer Robert Angelo and we planned a weekend after GNRS. I took the car to his shop on the Monday after GNRS and they let me store the car inside, and also the truck and trailer outside for the week. I flew home, then flew back the next weekend, we filmed, and I drove home. It took some doing but it was well worth it.

Thanks for the nice words too.

 

Awesome video Keith, never knew you were a fellow industrial designer...no wonder it turned out so good

 

Didn't know you were either, we need to chat.

 

Keith:

Awesome video and a big high five for a great job. Having Gene Winfield paint the car, and Jay Leno driving and interviewing you, are a couple of milestone moments among many along your path. Stu

 

Cool beans, man. Nice nice work. Congratulations.

 

Awesome car!

But where in the hell do you find the "Jay Leno's Garage" show?

I've seen it posted on here several times and have seen YouTube videos but don't know what network carries it.

 

It's a website and YouTube channel. If you like them on Facebook or subscribe to the YouTube channel you get updates when new videos come out.

Really, really nice work!

Congrats again, Keith --- so awesome!

I really enjoyed watching that.

LOVE the car!

What's up with the headlights? Motorcycle?

Rich

 

Outstanding work.

 

I'm not into the Faceplant scene but will check out the YouTube channel.

Thanks!

 

I like the name "Drag'n" and I'm sure that you are aware that "Dragon" was one of the models offered by Kaiser in 51 and 53.

WOW!!! Nice job. I love it.

 

Sweet ride brother...

 

You got SKILLS my friend !! Breathtaking ! Nice video

 

That's one to tell the grandkids about. Great car and a well put together video on the car.

 

Is Jay as cool in person as he seems to be on TV?

 

Your build thread was so ambitious it was one of those I thought would never get done. Congradulations, and enjoy your well earned allocades. Great video.

 

Beautiful car!!!

Great design and execution. 8 years was a real commitment.

Collaborating with Gene Winfield on subtle design and paint and hangin out with Jay Leno making a video, it doesn't get much better than that!

Have a ball showing and driving your masterpiece.

 

It's one of my favorite parts of the car. I make sure to point it out to people because they might think it's stock.

 

Thanks Nick.
