Gary Rohe/Plated project

[draggin50]

During the last XOS race last year, my buddy Raz came down pretty hard and ended up breaking a front A arm and hitting the wall in his Limited 8.5 Mustang. Over the winter he has a few people put their skills to work to get this back out this year. Rods Restoration Wizards cut out most of the damage to the passenger side and put it all back together. Gary Rohe has done the chassis work, cutting out parts and pieces, fabbing new front end, a arms, and fixing everything else that was damaged. Plated has brought it back to life with a nasty ass paint job that will sure get it noticed!! All 3 of these people have done a hell of a job getting this knocked out quickly and making it a bad ass car once again! Raz don't get on here much but he goes by Rev9 on here. Now for some pictures!

Gary fabbing front end work. He has a lot of time in taking it all apart and getting it to where it is today. A lot of this isn't in any of the pictures I have but part of the cage had to be cut out, piping redone and so on.

Now for Plated! His paint work is something else! Raz wanted to stay with about the same colors and just let Chris go to town on it making it different! Its turning out nice!!!

[2000GT]

sucks that happen always hurts seeing stuff like that. but all that fab work on the front and everywhere else looks sick!!!

[draggin50]

Once it is completely painted and outside, there will be more pictures Im sure. Chris, your work is bad ass and you have knocked this out quick and it is turning out nice!
If any one needs any work done, I recommend seeing any one of these people!!

[SN95N/A]

I was there that thing hit hard.looks pretty good

[cstreu1026]

Pretty cool to sit fixed but was it really worth it?

[Maximus]

WOW! Thats a lot of work but the end result is killer!:bigthumb

[draggin50]

It cost a lot less than what you would think. To buy a new body and start over would have been a lot more. The 25.5 cage was just done at the beginning of the year and only a few bars had to be replaced.

It will be back out this year in X275 with the 88mm on it making a shit load more power.

[Rick93coupe]

Looks like everyone has done an awesome job on it. I'm surprised it was able to be saved!

[SN95N/A]

Haha Im in the first pic..

[draggin50]

Looks like everyone has done an awesome job on it. I'm surprised it was able to be saved!

[4n_eatr]

Looks like i'm going to have to give Plated a call for an estimate! wow. Awesome that they could bring it back!

[draggin50]

[plated]

[draggin50]

No. He is stepping up to X275. Get to lose 300 lbs and step up from the 76mm to the 88mm. Hopefully pick up a few hp!
