Team Camaro

Hi,

My name is Ben. I don't myself own a Camaro, but my boss builds them. TPI:Total Performance Inc. in Wichita, KS builds the 1969 RCR Series 3 Camaros. He's also going to be driving one in the upcoming show on SPEEDtv, Bullrun Season 2. Bullrun starts in February on SPEEDtv and will feature weekly eliminations after losing a challenge. The newest picture of the car all stickered up is in my sig. I'll also leave links to the commercial on YouTube & TPI's website. If you want to know more, you can reply to this post and I'll try and answer as many questions as I can.

Welcome Ben!

Being a lifelong fan of Dale Sr., I sure wish I had the money to own one of the RCR Series Camaros.

I've met Richard Childress on a couple of occassions and was fortunate to meet Dale three times.

Glad to have ya' here!

Hey Ben - I go up to Wichita quite frequently because my Dad lives over right off of Hoover.

I had a question about your paint shop (not exactly on topic but related) - when I get my Camaro I'm planning on having the lower decklid section painted like my sig and the wheels painted like my Avatar. I wanted to have both done at the same time so they could come from the same batch of paint (and match perfectly color-wise). About how much would this cost (a VERY rough estimate is fine) and how long would the car be out for?

I'd be more than willing to drive the car up to Wichita to have the paint done, since I don't know of any really good paint shops in the OKC area.

Thanks in advance!
- Xanthos

The car used to run the show is going to be in Daytona for Speed Weeks starting tomorrow, It will be on display outside the Turn 4 Tunnel and should be featured on SPEED at some point during the weekend. Plus there is a sneak preview of the show on Friday.
