 Ok....DO NOT take offense to this....but: Who is this? Why is it stickied to the top? Read the posts and I can't for the life of me figure it out? Inquiring minds want to know.

The topic is relative to this here: Link I stickied it in case anyone started posting pics right away....if/when that starts to happen I'll do it again. For now I shut off the sticky so nobody freaks out.

no offense taken,check out our site and you will know who we are.And if you were on here last week mopar had put up a body in white ,for someone on this board to get, after filling out forms and pleading their case, on of the moparts,guy,s got it. [that would be jimmie,]now moparts wants to follow the build, so im guessing.someone made it a stiky for us to post the build up on,for all to see.us being me/and my son, as we will be building it for jim as we built his avenger Limited street car
today car will be dropped off at our shop,and Jim and i will go through what the format will be ,it will be built either for limited street,or outlaw grass roots racing for all to see,as there are not to many mopars in this venue....hope this helps  bob
as for now the only picts we will have will be on its arrival,  then it will be a week or so before we start on it,[thats up to jim]and it ussually takes us 3-400 hours  to build one of those type of cars,again all up to
jim's schedule

Just out of curiousity, how big are the tires/wheels that you have mach'd up in there. The wheel openings look HUGE! It looks like that car is a major bargain with the paint alone being that nice. I wish Chrysler would offer the body in whatever color as a Mopar Performance part that is available over the counter the way you guys picked it up.

Right now I have two engines ,one wedge and one 99 hemi.I'm pretty sure that the hemi is going in it.I really wanted this engine in my other car but it just wouldn't fit.The new car has so much room up front ,it will be no problem.We are talking to people right now and trying to get some help from different suppliers of racing item we need.We are trying to find who we will need to talk to ,to get parts like a dash,door panels and other parts need to get the front completed on the car.Once started the chassis won't take Bob and Jason no time to get that in the car I don't want to take shortcuts with the car and really want you guys to be proud of this car as I already am and I will do everything possible to ,so that I will not let you guys down.The class I want to run is the ORSCA limited street class ,this class the cars must retain the street car look,and that is what I like about it.The class et range is 4'60's to 4'80's in the eight mile with 50's right around the corner ,we have tough road ahead but I believe we can give the guys a run for the money if we use our heads and I do have some stuff up my sleeve but can't tell you right now ,but in due time she will be ready for battle !

$4990 and Click here to see how he got it. There is no BIW program yet but Mopar Performance is working on it. The trick to making bodies available is going to be figuring out how to offer them without shorting the drag pak program.....

Hey guys, I am back again. Just wanted to get let you guys know that I was in touch with the other guy that had a BIW for sale, and finally got a price from him, and he wanted $7500 for it, AND it was in Canada. So, to me, it was not worth it. He never wanted to send me pics or anything, so.....
Still looking.
BTW, car looks good Jimmy, congrats! Definitely Hemi....

it would actually be rather easy, just put all defect shells to the side. theres your BIW program (i can tell you they WILL scrap a bunch of shells)

If they can supply them at that price, I think they could sell a bunch.
I thought they were only going to supply them to stock class race teams. Good to see they are trying to supply to a wider market.

Thanks Jim. There are alot of positive things like that going on at MP these days but with so few people left it's a struggle. The desire is definitely there to make a real program happen.
Again, there is no BIW program yet and if anyone believes there is...sorry, they are mistaken. The build seen here is a one shot deal that was sold because it had a moonroof, no other reason.
It's a little more difficult than stated above to create a BIW program, due to the different divisions of Chrysler being operated separate from one another. For example Mopar Performance can not just tell the assembly plant what to do...it doesn't work that way.
It's going to take someone at or near the very top of the entire corporation....someone that has direct influence over everyone to make it happen. The business case needs to be built and presented properly, which is time consuming.
I don't think anyone would want an actual scrap body because it can literally be anything. It might be perfect other than a few runs in the paint, or it might be welded together 8 inches out of square. I'm pretty sure folks would be unhappy if they paid nearly 5 grand for something that wasn't welded together properly.
For $4990, the least somebody could expect is something that's been put together right....OK the paint may not need to be perfect but that's about as far as I'd go with that idea.

This kind of reminds me of how SRT was apparently started. A dude (forget his name, sorry) went up to Wolfgang Bernard and asked if they could make the SRT4. Wolfgang said go for it, as long as it is a profit center and then told the dude he use to run AMG back in Germany.....

That is how Ford does it. If a Mustang comes down teh assembly line, and a line worker bumps into a body and scratches/dings the car, they pull it off, and bam, BIW. Same thing with a paint defect, if does not pass Ford standards, has a flaw of some sort, gets pulled, and bam, a BIW. Obviously a little more complicated than that, but you get the idea.
OK, we got any updates on the car? How is it coming Jimmy?
