Feel free to stop in for a few. I'll make sure there's a few cold beverages ready.

Damn the car looks great buddy! Now for stage deux.... get that bad boy running!
I'm a rookie at this type of "long haul". It's fun and all, but I really would need a better equiped truck if I was going to do much more. Had to turn the AC off to keep the truck from over heating on the hill climbing out of Baker, CA. Stupid EcoBoost.

It has been a long road for him just to get to this point and with that much down time, came changes, but all for the better!

looking forward to car getting to my shop this evening and start the build on both the car and new LS7 that is one of the "changes" LOL

Congrats buddy!
Looking forward to the next leg of the adventure and appreciate all the support.

Well.....after another blistering 9 hour drive, I am back in Vegas. The car arrived safe and is now resting in Jeffs shop. Didn't even have it half way out of the trailer and Jeffs neighbors where over and throwing out the complements Nice to hear and all the credit goes to Mr Wizard.

Dave was nice enough to make the drive down to Jims and help unload Johns car and then load mine. Really appreciated brother and it was great to see you!

Ok...so as promised, here's a few pictures of the car outside at Jims and a few more of it here in Vegas.

But first...the side shot of the wheels.



If you haven't caught onto the fact that Jim does all this in a tiny little space at his house yet, I think there will put it in perspective.

Had to get Johns car out of the trailer fist off.



Then we where able to roll mine out of the booth. One coming in. One going out.









That's Mr Wizard on the Left. I believe Dave is showing him how to properly hold a drink at a fancy part or something.





All loaded and ready for the ride home.



Finally at Jeffs house.





We rolled the car into Jeffs shop and of course we had to admire it for a few. I think Jeff was impressed with everything. We ran it up on the lift just to check out the bottom of the car. I'll get pictures of that later.



Karen, Jeffs wife came out to lend a hand and then....she made me dinner! How awesome is that! Just what I needed after a long day and zero food.



Laurie, my wife stopped by on her way to work for a quick look. She said it's alright.

And...it's all tucked in.



That's it for now. Thanks for looking!

Wow, looks better as a full roller in the sunlight.

I've seen some of the best work come from some of the smallest work spaces.
