WOW :faint: That's an amazing difference!

Musclerodz 05-18-2009 09:41 AM

it is amazing how little filler is required when used by someone who know how to apply it. That is a huge difference in the pics.

Tony , Mike does'nt no it yet but he's going to have to make me one of those valances to :yes: I was going to order one from Marquez but steel would be kick azz. Now I just have to talk him into it-$$$$$$$$$:yes: :captain: :cheers:

conekiller13 05-18-2009 12:17 PM

Damn that's impressive. I think the car may have lost 200lbs in filler!

JamesJ 05-18-2009 12:49 PM

All that filler is just crazy!!!

waynieZ 05-18-2009 01:20 PM

That picture of the fender extewntion doesn't even look as thick as it was in person. Pete removed a ton of filler. They do some awesome work.
It was nice to meet Tony and his wife Jen and the other Tony . All nice people including Pete and Brian. They have some awesome projects going on in the shop.

The car looks great! This series of pics was what I've been wanting to see. The sub frame and suspension is really nice too. Those wheels are killer! That front valance looks right at home there, the factory should have done that.
Did anyone ever try to weigh the car before and after the bondo diet? It had to be at least 100 pounds on there.
To all of the guys who laid hands on it to get it looking so good--:hail:

Steve,

How many tech articles where you guys able to get out of Karma? I think that's awesome and just adds to this build. :thumbsup:

jcal87 05-29-2009 05:39 PM

Man that wheel and tire combo is killer!

Not sure.. four or five I think..

The first story is "when good cars go bad" and it's a two parter.

Well, it also lets us help out in the parts department, plus it's good tech.

That's funny, 'cause that's exactly what I kept telling Tony when we were pm'ing back and forth when he was asking about his car.:thumbsup:
