Re: Some of the nastiest customs around - ENJOY
yep, thats how u build a sweet custom, that "chicayne" car was featured on "Rides" on the discovery channel its supposedly got like 1200+ hp or something very close to that, the burnout he did on the show was amazing. I believe chip foose had his hands in on those projects as well like the quadradeuce.

The Chicayne was features in CHP along with Troy's own 90-92 Vette. Both were twin turbo small blocks pushing 1100-1200hp. The depths that he goes in to do the custom touches are crazy. Almost everything is a one off. The Orange Peel Camaro was also featured in a mag(CHP or Super Chevy). Truly amazing cars

That Fastback belongs to the owner of eBay.
He built it with part's from...eBay.
He bought the car from a user on...eBay.
Troy Trapanier (Truh-pan-yay) and Chip Foose are competitors. I don't believe Foose has helped him with any of his projects - but I could be wrong.

Yeah, I thought Foose wasnt in on any of Troy's work either. Both are extremely talented though.
I still love watching the clips from Foose doing the Thunderbird "Speedbird" and watching time lapse machine work on the wheel. Watching a billet wheel get made start to finish is really something else...

The Vette belongs to John Meany, who owns the company that builds the "Big Stuff" ECU's. The engine is a Lingenfelter 406 with twin-turbos and around 1200 horsepower. I was at Troy's shop when the Vette was being built. The hand-fabricated headers are a masterpiece in themselves. Troy's a great guy, and he builds some completely crazy, fully functional cars.

Troy gave me a Rad Rides by Troy t-shirt
I have some family in Manteno, IL that know his family I guess.
Too bad I didn't get to see his shop
