Asking a favor from everyone...

[Froggystyle]

My brother, Skeepwerkzaz has recently started a kick ass custom shop in Mesa Arizona. He has built a couple of really nice cars, and is in the process of making a killer name for himself out there. His first creation as OPM Customs, a 1967 Camaro for Dale Lee just won the Goodguys shootout in AZ last month or so and as such it became the southwest qualifier for their national champion prize. There are lots of nice cars on this deal, but they are not all owned or built by Hot Boaters!
So, if you don't mind, I would consider it a favor if you would all go and hit up the website at https://www.good-guys.com/homebuilt/homebuilt.asp and just brute them with the votes for the #3 car, owned by Dale Lee.
I would really like to see him win the whole thing, and I have a difficult time believing that with the support of the Hot Boat crowd anyone else would stand a chance... ;)
Thanks folks. The car deserves a win. It is completely cherry. I will see if I can get him to come on here and post a pic or two of the photo shoot they just took for Super Chevy/ Hot Rod mag.
Congrats Clay!!!

The kick ass pics are property of the magazine. My work computer is down right now and that is where I have a lot of the regular pics of the car.

[syke-o]

ok done... i helped your bro out :cool:

[RiverToysJas]

That's Cool!!!
Question though....Why is a car that was professionally built at a shop in a contest for "the guy or gal who does it themselves"?
RTJas :D

[redi4fun]

Done.
I am glad I seen this. My father has a 1968 Camero that he he still has the window sticker for. I think he paid somewhere around 3000 for the car. I would love to have it completely restored for him as a retirement gift. If your brother puts as much thought and care in his cars as you do in your boats, I might just have to pay him a visit. ;)

[Aqua Boogie1]

Done Deal!

#3 Done

[Mrs.Racer277]

Done! Good luck to your brother. :clover: :D

[OLDRAT]

One vote for #3, Mr. Lee

[skeepwerkzaz]

Hey everyone,
First things first....Thanks for the support. Here are some pics from the photo shoot with Super Chevy, I just got the green light to post them. Look for us in the May issue. Secondly, we had to enter "Homebuilt Heaven" because we built it in the garage, where we started OPM Customs. We weren't "professionals" until we got a business addy that wasn't a home. Lastly, her name is Leona, and she is wicked. ;) (the car that is)

I'm all about the #3 input :D So I like RD gave you two votes. One for each one of my Bi-polar personalities..One from havasu and one from home...

[skeepwerkzaz]

Guadalupe & Alma school is where I call home.
Our new shop is located @ Price and Apache though. We are going to have a "Grand Opening" sometime in February. I'll send out an invite too all interested. For the party, we are hosting the "1st gen Camaro club of AZ" and can expect to have 30 Camaros there. Should be pretty cool.

[spectratoad]

Got my vote. Sweet car. Not too glittery but just has that all business look.
I have a 54 Ford pick I want to rod sitting in my back yard. Hasn't seen the road in about 20 years so I need to get some ideas going for that. Want to start on the frame/drivetrain this summer.

[Squirtin Thunder]

Froggystyle,
It took alot for me not to vote for the Fords in the contest but that Camaro is a pritty sweet ride. I would like to see more of the car. Do you have a link on where I can see more.
BTW-It got my vote #3

Not bashing, that's a B-17, "Sentimental Journey" outta Falcon Field Airport in Mesa, AZ. The Confederate Air Force owns it and restores her and keeps her running.
I actually have 12 1/2 minutes of stick time in that plane. Right seat, mind you, but I couldn't turn it down. A maintenance flight around the valley, a cruise over the northern lakes and they asked a few controllers if they wanted to go. I beat a few people down and miraculously landed at the front of the line. Stick time in a B-17 at around 26 years old!!! Plenty of people would kill for that. Way cool! :)

I'd come hang out for awhile and lookielou at the Camaros.

[a catered life]

the funny part to this thread is your bro's car and one other were the only two cars that were worth voting for so cause he is associated with a fellow hb member he got the vote :D

[spectras only]

PHX ATC , no problemo :cool: . I saw a bird from The confederate Air Force here in vancouver during their visit ,but not sure which model. There was a Heinkel displayed as well that you could go through.

[callbob4homes]

Done. "Sentimental Journey" spends a few days at year at Buchanan Field
in Concord. Mr. Lee should come up and make a few passes on Clayton Road
with that fine Camaro...
I was coaching baseball at the JOBL fields one afternoon when the B-17, a B-24, and a B-25 flew over. I forgot about baseball for awhile...

It might have been the Heinkel that crashed a while back, although I'm not sure...that was the one they had here in Mesa...it met terra firma a bit sooner than expected! :jawdrop: I can't remember when it bit the dust either.
Sure are cool birds!
I think that was an awesome idea getting the Camaro to photo by the B-17.

He built it in his garage for someone. No shop yet. In addition, he has a lot of "sweat equity" in the car as it is his first creation and is setting the tone for more to come.
Car just appraised BTW by the Barrett-Jackson guys for $68,500. This will be junior varsity compared to what he comes up with in his new shop.

Great job Clay!!!! I am really proud of you.
