A longstanding tradition of having an HFR Built machine has gone to the next level for Tim Barton. Barton who is most well-known for his leaf spring Nova that over the years has transformed to a top-level machine at the hands of the HFR Fabrication crew.

With changes in the racing landscape Tim felt it was time to step up with a brand-new Camaro build to jump headfirst into the ultra-competitive Pro 632 ranks.

The HFR crew started with a Five Star Composites Pro Mod/Pro Stock Carbon Fiber body to create this current masterpiece. From the start the idea was to build this ultra lightweight chassis and combine it with all of the parts that have become best sellers across the performance parts market that HFR offers every day.

No detail was left untouched from start to finish and from engine placement to fit and finish of every panel was meticulously planned to allow the results show through. There is no shortage of titanium or carbon fiber which is easily spotted at first glance. Just stand back and stare in awe as we did each day as the build came to a close.

With all chassis work being completed it was time to head off to body and paint. The guys over at Euro Pros Collision Center in Gaithersburg, MD took the body to a new level of perfection and laid a beautiful finish on that should be sitting a car show lineup, not going down a dragstrip.

Once the base colors were completed, Chuck Buckler came in for the airbrush details. The lights, grille, badges and so on are all PAINT!!!! At first and maybe even second glance you’ll never know with the amount of detail in each area.

After countless hours of fabrication and paint the Camaro is now off to be wired and plumbed in preparation for its maiden voyage. We are eager to see what is to come for Tim and his crew as they roll this masterpiece onto a track near you…..

In the racing world there are many great composite manufacturers and some not so great that are in the Mustang and Camaro world. But our Cadillac CTSV Composites are a first of their kind retaining factory body lines and features while shedding massive amounts of weight.

This all came to light when client Jerry Groves wanted to transform his already record shattering CTSV into the something never seen before. The HFR team went to work constructing a cutting edge chassis as usual but the challenge would be getting the weight out of the factory body.

After a 1000 plus hours of making a plug, constructing the mold all the way in to the final part we have what has become a highly sought after set of panels that aren’t available anywhere else. HFR offers the front clip, doors, rear bumper, wing and roof panels for the Cadillac CTSV. You can find several of these builds across the United States now and will continue to see a growth of demand for these parts.

If you are interested in your very own setup we can make them in carbon fiber and fiberglass. Contact us today to get started in your CTSV weight loss program!

#ThrowbackThursday – Waaaaaay back to the 90’s and the “Mud Rat”. Rodney Covington of Sykesville, MD set the class record first weekend out in his HFR Built chassis. Antique by today’s standards with all mild steel construction but as usual with HFR it was ahead of its time.

TEAM HFR may seem like something brand new to most but in reality its a continuation of what master fabricator / chassis builder Henry Fryfogle started way back in 1997. All through is youth Henry traveled and raced with his father Carnie and their friends as well as his own racing ventures which ultimately put HFR Fabrication on the map.

The grand plan has just been a work in progress and with a great client base as well as an amazing team around HFR the return is inevitable. After nearly 15 years away from driving and racing competitively Henry is building and suiting up to make a grand return on multiple levels.

Car #1 in the fleet of TEAM HFR is a 20 year old hard tail dragster that has been dubbed #005. #005 is the 5th dragster chassis that was ever built in the HFR Fabrication shop and has now had a major resurrection to its 20 year old structure. After completely dismantling the car from front to rear it has received a new fiberglass HFR Composites body that was complimented with Autos Unlimited Paint job and soon will have a custom Graphics package laid on by Graphics by TMK.

Under that fresh new look is more fresh, fresh new black powder coat on the chassis that is made safe with the very best from White Safety Equipment in the form of belts and a parachute. Competitive Wiring will update the electronics on board to final prep #005 for its return to the track hitting some local bracket races for starters.

Stay tuned for more updates in the coming weeks as we near completion, Thanks ~TEAM HFR

Special thanks to those who support us……
