Thanks Steve! And yes, you could say I'm excited!! :D

I know I tell you all the time Tony how awesome your car is, but wait till you see in person!! I'll swing by the shop sometime this week for some "in shop" closeness.:thumbsup: Can't wait to see it sitting on the wheels/tires! Going to look amazing.
***Mario deserves a lot of credit besides Pete & Brian @ Comp-Spec. Mario this Bud's for you!!!:cheers:***

Mario has a LOT to do with Karma's rebuild and I can't thank him enough....sorry no xoxo today buddy!! :lol: See ya in a few weeks though!! :cheers:

Thanx guys!! I was happy to supply the materials.. But honestly Pete and Brian should get all the credit for this build !!!! They are the ones that put this project together.:hail:Tony had a lot of great vendors help also. But again ,Pete put all the parts together to make this happen end of story,it was his time and labor not mine he's the man!!!!:bow:

Is it done yet? How 'bout now? How 'bout now? How 'bout now?


How 'bout now?


Seriously though it is a remarkable thing everyone envolved has done here.:thumbsup:

i gotta say tony i was pretty skeptical about the gray when i say the photoshop... but after seeing the real deal:unibrow: :unibrow: I cant wait to see it out here in a few weeks.

AJ, not sure I would call Carter's work photoshoped...It's way beyond that! But thanks for the kind words!!!
Sorry bud, no Vegas for Karma this year....but I'll still be making the trip.

yeah, i meant "rendering" i just went blank for a sec.

that suck it wont be out here, but it will be nice to see you again.:thumbsup:

Thanks AJ, we simply ran out of time! See ya soon!! :cheers:

Hey AJ, I gotta say the same, but after seeing in person. WOW!! Looks killer.
Good choice Tony.:cheers:

Not just 100 pages, but the post above was the 1000 th post in this thread! Is there a door prize? :D

The car is just awesome looking Tony! The wheels, color, everything is great! :thumbsup:

How about the rest of the parts status while cut/polish is in progress. Do you have all the sub assemblies together ready to go - or do you need to plate/paint those and assemble up before install ? (motor in the sub frame already ? pics ??)

Jim

Jim, the Speed Tech sub is painted, on the car, and aligned...but yet to be welded to the DSE SFC's...soon though. All the ST parts came powder painted so that is done and assembled.

I already had the bottom of the car painted as well as the rear suspension but that may need a little freshing up after all the work that has been done.

The motor and T56 are at my house and I will install them once the car returns home from it's walk about.

Pete is doing a lot to Karma, but isn't finishing the car to a turn key point.

Thanks again to all for your interest in our project!! :lateral: :cheers:

The noise ??
 

So.... how many times a week do you go to the garage and lift the tarp off the engine and stare ?

Now the difficult question - how often do you stand there staring AND make the engine sounds .....

:lol:

Won't be long now !!

Fire it up.

LOL!!! You should hear my BOV noise when I shift!! :lol:

Nick is dying for them to finish you car...






(so they can start on his... lol)

Is that fresh paint I smell???? :unibrow:

Yeah they get to roll right into the Orange Krate build....how cool is that!! :unibrow:

Soon Nick, soon!! :)

congrats buddy, you just made my day, looks amazing, what a cool foundation to put all that trick stuff on,,,,just one question:

why aren't you at Portland International buying a plane ticket???:D

The car's looking awesome, bet you can't wait to get it back. Love the colour, how many coats of clear are on there?? cheers....Nige

You know it guys. I can't wait to see this build in person as well. Should be another killer project!!:thumbsup: One right after another.:cheers:
