Thanks again Mario....that is really stepping up and helping a brother out! If you ever need anything you let me know!! :yes:

Awesome can't wait to see more. Pete very nice of you and hopefully your kindness will repay you and Mario many times over. :thumbsup:
I am excited for you Anthony!

Can't wait to see the progress pics.

Cant wait to see the pics.. awesome thread IMO:thumbsup:

I look forward to those days too! We've both been waiting a long time for that! :yes:

Here's some pics of Chuck Vranas, Contributing Editor of Camaro Performer Magazine, taking pics of the disassembly. There will be a feature in an upcoming issue of the magazine telling of how the Lateral-g.net community came together and helped get Tony's car back on track, as well as covering the entire project.

Thanks Comp-Spec & Camaro Performers!
 

It just doesn't get any cooler than that! The L-g story needs to be told...it's a good one!

I'm sure we have our own Steven Rupp to thank for this...he's a real good guy/friend! Thanks Steve!!

Boy that car sure photographs well!! :lol:

When Pete says "he'll get right on the project" he's serious!! :hail: :woot:

Thanks for the update Pete!!

Wow, that door jamb is horrible.

Pete, did the window moldings show up yet?

:wow: :faint:

Moldings showed up, Thanks Mike

and a few more....

hey a possible name for the car...:D

Pete how bad is the trunk floor? From that picture it looks like a disaster!!

Sucks, but we'll fix that too

Awesome work guys! :thumbsup: Not too many people who would do this to help somebody they dont really know.

You guys deserve as much press and ink as possible for this. :yes:

It looks like residue from the buffing compound...
Can someone run a finger or a towel over the edges and confirm or dispute this....


Mick

dispute...COMPOUND MIXED WITH OVER SPAY MORE COMPOUND AND OVER SPAY
WITH A LITTLE DRY HEAVE ON TOP OF IT ALL



YOU COULDN'T WIPE THAT OFF WITH 36 GRIT


IT WILL NEED TO BE STRIPPED TO BE FIXED RIGHT

Wow, for some person to say I painted that is beyond me. Horrible. In good hands now. Are you guys going with the same color?

No, it is getting a complete color change. I'll let Tony reveal the new color when he is ready.

Thanks for clearing that up for me, I still trying to see some good out of all of this...

Mick

What do you mean by that? Everyone that stepped up to help out Tony is pretty good from what I can see

Cool.

As far as I'm concerned it's all good......now!

Were you refering to the previous job?

Guys, Carter is working on the final rendering today. As soon as I get it you all will be able to see the direction the car is now going! Sharing info and keeping you all in the loop is the least I can do as this has really become a Lateral-g project!

I wanted to publically thank Carter again! He is REAL busy and still took the needed time to help me out! What a guy....I highly recommend him!! :cheers:

i second that
 

no offense to anyone here in this business . i know we have great artist on lat-g.
carter is so busy ,because he is great to work with. his communication and product are top notch.he is a car guy who loves what he does.
:hail: cater....cant wait to see the rendering...

radrambler

Rendering??......
 

So who is this Carter-guy anyway? Is he really that good? And, an even better question: Has he ever rendered a Camaro before????


......... Just kidding!!! I too look forward to seeing Carter's rendering of your (our) project.

Carter: It was great seeing you in Columbus, and I look forward to seeing you at SEMA.

I'm really hoping it's the hot pink we discussed, don't forget the lepard skin stripes.:thumbsup:

I can see this thread going on and on and I have no complaints with that, that's for sure.
I, for one, am following this thread closely.
What a horrible job the previous builder/painter did before Pete and his guys got their hands on it. Just horrible.:mad:
Can't wait to see the new rendering and colors. Should look awesome!!!:thumbsup:

There is no way that car was in his garage at home while he was working on it. That thing was left outside long enough to get the wierd looking stains in the clear and the start of a bees nest.
Now that the car is being pulled apart it looks alot worse.
I just get mad seeing this type of stuff.

Got to give it to Tony to stay optomistic thru his whole ordeal. I kept telling him to get his car back and that he wasn't going to get it right the second time. Tony just kept saying " he'll make it right and fix it."

Tony really trusted the guy and thought he was a friend.
He just didn't care about the details.

Yeah. That is tough. You wanna believe someone is doing their best on your car and give them the benefit of the doubt and it just doesn't pull through. NOT COOL!!!

Been a little busy lately and just got caught up by reading this whole thread. It's going to be awesome to see this thing all come together. I can see Leno getting a hold of this story:lol: . Tony, you're gonna be a star! Remember us pee-ons when you get there!:rofl: :cheers:

Jeff you crack me up!! :lol:

Pete thanks for sharing all the pictures with us. It's nice to see all this unfolding.

It's hard to believe that all this is taking place. Sure makes me glad I called Tony out. :thumbsup:

I cant wait for everyone else to see the new renderings. Think late 80's mini-truck..........splatter graphics, greens whites and pinks, YEEEE Haaaa....


J/K It's gonna be drop dead gorgeous!:thumbsup:

Well you know Tony came from the mini-truck crowd.

Hey, it was the eighties! :cool:

Hey Dan thanks for the new color info and steering wheel...both were MUCH needed! :cheers:

I have to check :lateral: 8 times a day just to keep up with this thread! :lol:

I've been lucky and Anthony has shared some of his ideas for the new paint with me. I think it's a fitting change and a good way to shake off any bad mojo left over from all of the B.S. he's gone through. It's all good from here on out!

:captain:

Awesome progress guys...in such a short period too.
Huge props for everyone who stepped up and contributed to the cause.:thumbsup:
I can't wait to see where my little donation went,lol.:rofl:

Man Tony,you're gonna have one killer Camaro...:woot:
