Weaver Customs thanks everyone that has supported "The Godfather" over the past year. The entire Adams family has been so gracious and we appreciate our relationship with you all!

Get your bidder paddles ready!!! The Godfather will be rolling across the block at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale on Friday, January 18 approx. 7pm lot #1064! The SPEED Channel will be televising the event!

We are at SEMA right now but when I get home I will try to track the before pictures and post them. It was quit a transformation!

I can vouch for how fantastic Hell Snake looks! Even nicer in person!

You rock! Thanks!!!

How do I post my Photobucket pictures to my post??? Apparently I did it wrong!

At Weaver Customs we focus on pre-'72 vehicles...but we made an exception for this one! The power comes from a 1997 Dodge 12 Valve Cummins upgraded with twin turbos and all the goodies to go along with it. Automatic transmission, billet flex plate, etc. Suspension is all custom made including 4 bars and ladder bars, coil spring conversion front. 22 inch wheels wrapped in 22x40 inch Toyo rubber. Body is all smoothed, drip rails shaved, Hot Match gas cap, painted in a flat white. Being flat white, we still care for it with the waterless wash and many other Adam's products!

You'll have to ask our client. He's a super nice guy and I'm sure he'd let ya at least drive it!!!

That's a huge compliment! Thank you! The first question is what are you looking for? Show car? Driver? Show and Drive? We can work within almost any budget. The biggest part of the estimate is how the car sits right now. Extensive body work can chew threw any budget. But starting with a good solid body saves a ton!!!! Give us a call and we can go into more detail about the car. Randy 801-903-3351 or me (Sydney) 801-597-9613. We would love to help you however we can!

Unreal!!! Hope they paid you double for that job!!! Good work my friend!

You are all too kind! @Mook: I learned from the best but I am still a work in progress!!!

Here are some before and during the build pictures.

Thank you for all of your kind words. This was a balls to wall, 8 month build that almost landed my husband in the hospital due to exhaustion! So it's nice to see that it is appreciated! This is our "employee" car for 2012. Each year we build 1 car for the shop that works for us all year. Customers come in with very specific ideas for their cars and so we build our own cars that showcase the extra talents of the shop. "The Godfather" will be going across the block at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale.

We are Weaver Customs. A custom hot rod and fabrication shop in Sandy, Utah. We originally met up with the Adam's team at a Good Guys show! It was love at first sight! Their people, products and processes are what makes our customs look so awesome! Also, we love talking cars! We've been building for over 15 years and love to help out anyone we can! Looking forward to being a part of the Adam's Forums and sharing ideas and swapping stories....cause if it ain't fun...it ain't worth it!!!!

Sounds like you are on the right track now!!! Excited for you!!!

It's what the owner wanted! It was different but it turned out cool!

Good eye! We opted for the '57 grill!

1955 Chevy 2nd series. This truck has about everything done to it from the 2" chop to the late model Chevy bed. Motivation comes via a supercharged 500cid 1000 horse (12 lbs) big block Chevy. The paint is a one off custom kandy red that I mixed up with very cool ghost flames. Customer is in construction and uses it as a daily driver! Gets 10 miles to the gallon when he keeps his foot out of it!

We built the Chevelle for a customer who LOVED the Challenger.... It's true...you'll notice our shop definately carries a black paint theme! We'll post other cars and trucks over the next few weeks! Thanks for appreciating our work!

This 1972 Chevelle built by Weaver Customs packs a FAST Fuel Injected 500 inch Big Block Chevy backed by 700R4 and 9 inch Ford rearend. The car sits on Intro wheels with 13 inch Wilwood brakes. All body panels have been shaved and bumpers have been narrowed and tucked. Painted with PPG Base Clear featuring ghosted stripes and SS badging. Cared for with the full line of Adam's products! Interior is full custom, one of a kind, full Mercedes leather created by JS Custom Interiors.

Thank you all! We have a deep passion for what we do! I will post some of our other builds!

Thank you! It was a fun build!

This Challenger had a tree that crushed the roof. That lended it to be the perfect candidate to become a custom roadster. And totally custom it is....from one end to the other. All hand fabricated dash, tonneau and all valances, bumpers, etc. Not one panel was left untouched! We put a 6.1 Hemi with a manual 6 speed with a Spec twin disc clutch, 9inch Ford Rear end with 4.88 gears and a Detroit locker and 31 spline Strange axles. The front suspension is a Magnum Force tubular K member and the brakes are 6 piston 14 inch Wilwoods. Wheels are 20x15 Intros in the rear and fronts are 18x7 Intros sporting Mickey Thompson SR Radials.
