Yep, it's a CP car now...that's for sure!! ;) :cheers:

THANK YOU CAMARO PERFORMERS

OK, next we need to call Alpine up:thumbsup: Lookin Great Pete.

This is too cool!

Thanks Camaro Performers!! :cheers:

All of the sheet metal seems to be very wavy. The roof and right quarter look to have a lot of high spots. I'm kinda new to sheet metal work and would like to learn how the waves will be taken out. Looks like a heck of a lot of hammer and dolly work!!! Maybe the pics look worse than it is but, would you consider replacing panels rather than all that metal finish work? Once the metal finish work is done will you re-skim the whole car?

What you are looking at is the panel half stripped.
So it looks like your seeing lots of high spots but, your just seeing were we went threw to the the metal before the whole panel was finished being stripped.
No, we will not need to skim-coat the whole car after the metal work is completed

It is nice to see how lots of people have come together to help a member out with his misfortune, I wish there was such a group up here in Canada.

OK I see, thanks.. The car looks great all stripped down in bare steel.

I'm looking forward to seeing how you guys will correct any issues with the sheet metal and how and where you will apply body filler.

Mike

WOW, Great thread.

Props to everyone involved.

I am proud to be a member here, great to see a bunch off hot rodders pull together and help a friend in need.

Funny you should say that.:_paranoid
Actually, "IF", and that's an if, all goes through and my car sells and I purchase the '69 Camaro SS that I am checking out, Pete and his crew will be doing some work for me as well.:thumbsup:
Keep up the great work Competition Specialties!!!

Thanks ELECTRIC LIFE and Camaro Performers

That's awesome! Good to see people are still kicking in to make this project 100%.

Now Pete...go get on an airplane and get your butt to Vegas! :thumbsup:

Very cool! Looks like a nice kit!!

Thanks Electric Life and Camaro Performers!! :thumbsup:

SEMA was not only good in the way of finally getting to meet Pete (comp-spec), Mario (DOOM), and Nick (Camaro Performers); but also I am very excited to announce that Speed Tech and Marquez Design are now sponsors of my project! Thanks guys!!

After seeing all the cars at SEMA, at the track, and driving Curtis' car last night I'm real fired up to finish mine up early next year!

What are your thoughts on naming the project? Right now Jennifer likes Karma (Carma?) I'm not sure, I've never been able to come up with anything...

Thanks again L-g!!

Well that's a fairly productive trip to SEMA! :lol:

Carma is an interesting name, but I think you should wait. Sooner or later the car will let you know who it is.

Very cool!

I think Karma is a very fitting name, if you like it.

See.. you hang around magazine editors and product just falls from the sky.. :rofl:

Just kiddin... good to see you and next year maybe your car will be at SEMA. (of course then you have to run it at the track!)

Steve you are a good friend!! ;)

If the car gets invited to SEMA you can bet I will be following you to the track in it!! :thumbsup:

I think the car is pretty much a shoe in for SEMA, A top Builder and many big name parts. I don't see it being a problem. you deserve it Tony:thumbsup:

Steve, What your doing with article is making all of Tony's dreams come true:cheers:
Pete, what can I say, your the MAN!

After speaking with Tony and his wife I can tell you that he is in Shock of what is happeneing and what remaines to be seen:unibrow:

Does this project have a name?

It should have something appropriate.. like "Project Reincarnation" or "Project Back On Track"

Something along those lines... "Project Karma"

Mark, thanks for the kind words! Don't forget about Nick, he and Steve make a great team!

It was great spending time with you this week!

No we don't have a name for it...but I like the direction you are going.

What about Second Chance or Two Timer?

any GnR fans, how about Double Talkin Jive

Name it! Cant wait to see it done!

I like that, if you do name the car, I would not put the work project in the title, thats just to much to say... and then it may nevr get done...

looks like you will need to hold a lotery inorder to see what booth it will be in next year.
maybe we should have a Lateral-G booth ??????

Well if You need a hot shoe for track time I cordially nominate myself.

I'm kinda diggin the Carma nae since I would say this is very good example of good energy coming back to You.:hail:

So is there going to be anything left for Me to help you on when it comes back or will it be all done when comes back a this point?

It looks like the old shop had the right idea about adding metal to close the gaps. Will you be cleaning up the welds and grinding it smooth before filler/paint?

It looks like you guys are doing some great work on the east coast, kudos to you guys for knowing the quality that customers demand for their dream cars.

A Lateral-G booth would be awesome! Actually it should be a lounge type set up because none of us would leave! :lol: Who ever get's it will be super lucky to have it there!

:cheers:

I like the L-g booth idea with a couple cars...but damn that would cost a lot!! :wow:

There will be plenty for you to do when it comes home!

I think you better get some seat time in it just in case we make it down to Vegas next year! ;) I think Steve proved that a team effort pays off!! :yes:

that, and what does he sell to try to re-coup the costs of the booth?

SMOOTHIEES.......:thumbsup:

:rofl: :rofl:

I swear Jim..I have never seen anybody drink so many smoothies!!

As always - A great time!!

That would work as long as we use a gas powered blender!! :cheers:

How about:

Paid Forward
Pay it forward
???

We have some new parts coming for Tony's car. After we have the new parts we'll do final line up, metal work, assembly and finish any welding and grinding of the gaps at that time. Once I'm happy with that I'll do the filler work

:lol: Good stuff.
