Pat K Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Saw the ad last night. have no idea whether it will be good or bad, just some needed exposure of our brand. FANTOMWORKS NIGHTWorld Premieres Sunday, July 27 at 9 PM and 10 PM Night Hosted by Dan Short of Velocity's FANTOMWORKS Season two of the hit series FANTOMWORKS kicks off DREAM CAR WEEK on Sunday with all-new back-to-back episodes. Dan Short is an automotive force of nature - doing whatever it takes to restore cars to the highest possible standard. At 9 PM, hidden problems with a 1983 Avanti resto-mod pushes and a 1951 Chevy pieced together by a self-taught mechanics push Dan and his team to the brink. At 10 PM a 1977 Corvette Stingray arrives with seven layers of paint and too many problems to count, and work on a 1965 Cobra Kit car spirals out of control when the owner wants to wrap the car like a fighter jet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Hanlon Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) Saw the car at Dover. More discussion on this topic on the SDC forum. I can not immagine how much this project cost. Was at Fatomworks for 50+ weeks. Edited July 7, 2014 by Bill Hanlon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plwindish Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 I believe the owner said Phantom Works had the car 55 weeks. Yes the cost was over 6 figures. The car was very nicely done. Shaved bumpers, paint was 2003 Corvette Anniversary - a maroon with lots of gold flake in it, new leather interior with suede inserts on the seats. LED's were used in lighting the interior and on custom aluminum Avanti script door sills. A 350 computer controlled fuel injected motor only had 4 miles on it and needed to be tweaked. It is a nice car but you need deep pockets to afford the build. It was judged in the modified class and got a 392 or 393/400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avanti83 Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Who cares? I'll never miss a chance to see a well done Avanti. Just record the program, I will, and skip the cr@p and see what's been done. Heck, I might find something I want to try on my 74. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
