Post Randy's Wide body Article by Greg Turnage -Portland Tuner Car Examiner

Here is an article of Randy's G from TW Competition also by Greg on Tuner Examiner.



The first time I saw this G35 was when Randy debut it at the 2008 San Mateo Hot Import Nights. It was one of my favorite cars there. Randy has continue to keep improving the car every chance he gets. which is not as easy as it sounds as this cars pulls double duty. first it's his wife Hoai daily driver and on the weekends it's Randy's showcar . Every inch of this car is so clean you would think it was a trailer baby . But this is not the case with this car as he drives it to every show it's entered in on the west coast .

And just to remind those checking out this ride going down the road the license plates read RRYDE ( our ride ) to let everyone know it's a partnership thats made this custom wide body G35 possible. This is one of the most modified daily drivers on the streets of Southern California . Randy is also a proud member of TWC one of top teams on the show scene . Randy enlisted some of the top shops in So.Cal to work on his car starting with Autoexplosion handling body and paint duty's and Chuy 's Interior took on the interior work . As you will see in the photo's this is one nice G35 and as with most cars at this level pictures just don't do it justice .

So Randy took a moment to answer a few question .

1. What was the first car you customize ?

A 1984 Nissan 720 pickup .

2. What's your dream car to customize ?

A Street rod

3. What's your favorite show to attend ?

Hot Import Nights

4. If money was no object what would you do to your car that's not done already ?

A Built Motor and upgrade the interior

5. Have you ever seen a car that was just cool ( something you would not expect ) ?

Yes I seen a few .

6. Do you have any other projects in the works ?

No
