I talked with Pete last night and paint will happen soon! He is having some PC issues, let's hope that gets fixed by the time he has pics to post!

Can't wait to see the color on the car, let's hope I made the right choice!! :willy:

Thanks guys! It's always a little scary when picking colors! But thanks to Carter I have a good feeling what it will look like!

I dont think anybody will supersede Marty on Post build updates LOL

Yo Tony,
Exciting times, have any fingernails left, or did you bite them all off.
Congrats on getting this far and it wasnt in paint jail for a long time at all.

Dave

awr68 09-22-2009 09:42 PM

Dave, yeah it is exciting times...that's for sure! It's probably good that these finger nail things grow back fast!! :D

And as far as paint jail goes...considering how much work has been done on the car in the last year; the new parts, the custom parts, stripping the car just to turn around and cut a lot of it off, panel r&r, body work, all the photo shoots for Tech...ect. Pete and crew really have been putting in the hours and it shows! I wouldn't call it paint jail this time around....just progress and a lot of it!! Thanks again Pete!! :thumbsup: :hail:

Tony no no no I mean Pete no one is picking on you guy's

Actually the other day I was talking with a bunch of guy's at the GG Joliet show. We started talking about people and vendors that "Give Back" and your name came up.

I think what you guy's are doing on this car is really cool and I am happy there are still people like you guy's in the world

I think Marty meant this to be directed to Pete not me........;)

70rs 09-23-2009 06:41 PM

The paint will come when it comes. Till then life goes on. Pete and the guys are doing one hell of a job and doing what not many people would do. All for a guy that really deserves it. I know no one is picking on anyone else, and I am not either. I am just as excited as the next guy to see Karma get some color then get finished. It is just taking a while to get done.
Karma will be worth the wait for sure. Pete and the crew will turn out another awesome job and Tony will get his dream. I'm looking forward to seeing it in person. Maybe if I ask REALLY nice Tony will let me drive it?:rofl: :drive:

Yes When you get it back it will be rested and ready for action and look sweet while it does it.

Man yesterday was a tuff day. Yep I meant Pete

ps I corrected my post.

syborg tt 09-24-2009 06:21 AM

Ya know I chime in again.

When I started working on my truck there was never a completion date set in stone. When I began working with Dave at Comp Fab we alway's joke when it's done it's done. Then the same with kenny and now that it's at Tracy's I feel the same way.

When it's done it's done and it will be the way it needs to be. So take your time do it once and get it the way it needs to be done. heck if your cars complete how are you going to post pics for us to look at.

Then what would we do.

Man I just wish everyone who wanted a car built understood this! :D

awr68 09-24-2009 05:04 PM

Marty, we share the same car building philosophy!

I am deep into my seventh year and still have the attitude that I would rather have it done right than rush threw it and be disappointed. Pete and I talk often and agree that the car needs to be done 'right' this time and that takes a little more time...we both are fine with that. So it will be done when it's done...although it is nice that we are getting REAL close to seeing it in color! :D

Yea, thats a good one Steve.

Tony's/Pete's build thread and other coverage Ive seen or read on Anthony's car has been top notch and well documented. Great job guys.

Paint Vacation?? More like Paint Jail !!


LOL

Jail!? no, no, no....it's more like an extended stay at a luxury resort with weekly spa treatments. It's only jail if you can't get the car back or it's being held up by the shop, which totally isn't the case here. Man I would send a car to Pete and the crew and just say "let me know when it's done" in a heart beat. I'd be willing to bet there are more than a few of us here who have that kind of trust in the guy.

:thumbsup:


Keep up the good work Pete and tell the guys thanks for me! :captain:

I would do the same
