Thanks for your detailed explaination and candor Matt. I hope all this doesn't knock you off balance with what your currently working on.

I dont think it would be too tough for Joel to get some deposits for a true modern Motion Camaro!!
Can we get more details on the car Joel wanted to build?

427, supercharged w/nitrous. Some where in the range of 750 HP. In addition, special hood, wheels, spoiler, ground affects, with paint design in part by "Gary the Local Brush". As with most, if not all of Joel's cars, not for the faint of heart, either in performance or styling. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Were they thinking of a 9" Ford in that thing ?

Doesn't sound like anything wrong with Joels ideas.. So what were the differences that led to this project falling apart? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Matt Berger was concerned with liablilty issues in regards to putting a supercharger/nitrous on a 600hp 427, and Matt Murphy and Joel had a difference of opinion on what/who's exterior pieces to use.
As for some of the other issues involved, and where things go from here, might be best if Dennis Barker chimed in here, as he was in charge of promoting, advertising and of course sales for the proposed new Motion car.
