I wanted PS2's OR R888's but just couldn't swing the price! I think these are a better choice for now anyways...they will be fine. ;)

Great. Lay plenty of plastic out and protect the cars in bubbles. And give Jay a body condom to wear. Those cars are gonna be in trouble.

Anthony, the car looks like it's going to be coming together AWESOME!!! I'm jealous. Good to see you'll be having fun soon.

GMracer 02-03-2009 04:35 AM

very nice, got a question for you not to bring it off topic, but those shears, I haven't done enough sheetmetal to know but how clean is the cut on them? like say if you were cutting out stock for a smooth firewall, would you use them? if not...

Looking good. When do you guys think color will go on?

comp-spec 02-05-2009 06:35 PM

I'm not 100% sure. There's a few things left to do before we see some color.

bigtyme1 02-05-2009 06:37 PM

Yea, let us know when the paint goes on, I'll come up and wet sand. We start with wet 80 grit first right? :rofl: Looking good tony, glad you made the change on tire size.

comp-spec 02-05-2009 06:40 PM

80 wet .. only on a DA

You still sanding

bigtyme1 02-05-2009 06:43 PM

I'm in the finishing stages, Should be buffing by Sunday or Monday. Last week end I did what we discussed over the phone. Turned out pefect.

awr68 02-05-2009 09:00 PM

Steve1968LS2 02-10-2009 02:11 PM

I though now that the Orange Krate was there the Karma car was going to be put aside for a few months?




:rofl:
Sorry, couldn't resist...

conekiller13 02-12-2009 02:01 PM

Gettin' Tougher by the day.

conekiller13 02-20-2009 08:26 AM

A week and no updates? What gives....?

comp-spec 02-20-2009 08:37 AM

OK, the plan is to get Tony's car into primer over the next couple of weeks.
We still have to do a power window and paint tech with Tony from primer to paint for Camaro Performers
I'm hoping we can schedule to get the paint tech done it the month of march
If this goes as planned KRAMA should be ready to head back west in April.

conekiller13 02-20-2009 08:40 AM

Cool..........can't wait.
