What camera and lens did you use to shoot these, were you using a filter? The colors and detail are amazing.

My dad invited the guys over for dinner that did his coilovers and Brake upgrades on the lime 72 car. I drove the 510 and they brought the GTR so it was a great photo op.

Figured I throw a few of these photos on here while we wait on the next safari gold update

Thanks!!! Canon 40D with Canon EFS 17-85mm 4-5.6

It's a terrific combo. The lens has slight wide angle but doesn't fisheye

[mally002]

I'm using the 40D also with a 28-135mm.......but my pictures didn't look that good......

Maybe I have too much zoom which reduces the clairity? just a guess.

What is the status on this build? Really enjoyed looking and reading about it. I used to live in Roanoke Rapids, NC. If I was still there I would definitely have to make the trip to Richmond to take a look at this incredible collection. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Pat......Car sits as of last post. Chuck started block sanding in prep for jamming, but the snow storm brought in more profitable insurance jobs. Four weeks ago, he said he was going to start jamming everything in two weeks......sound familiar? I don't every pressure him.....just glad he decided to do "one more restoration". When he starts the next phase, it should go quickly. Thanks for your interest......I'll update when there's something of interest. Guy
