Yep, they do great work! I'm big on detail and I'm very happy comp-spec is as well!!

Can't wait to follow along with your build! :cheers:

I am also looking forward to watching Orange Krate being built. I might be a little biased though.:D

Yeah, just a little! lol:lol: :cheers:

Mario I want to se my car in the rear view mirror of my truck on Ma. Rte I 195 east.

So what's the latest? :willy:

Ditto.....:burnout:

Tony, are you doing burnouts and not telling us or making vids? :willy:

Congratulations Anthony! Thats a great sounding name isnt it? Your car is just BEAUTIFUL!!! Now comes the fun part of watching it go together. Im kinda wanting to see Orange Crate myself, Im kinda biased too Nick. (I own a 72 Z28) If it comes out slick as Karma,its gonna be one beautiful second-gen! You guys need to give yourselves a pat on the back. Makes me proud to be a member of a site like this! Its great to see a group of people united in a common cause, pull together and create such a work of art. Excellent job guys! The car looks Fantastic! :lateral: :thumbsup:

:_paranoid Is it in the rear view mirror yet:question: :beathorse

I agree Tony. Beautiful car and great work by the guys @ Comp-Spec.:thumbsup:
And, trust me, Orange Krate will look just as bad ass. (There is a reason Nick took his car 3,000 miles away to be built!):thumbsup: :cheers: I can't wait to follow/see that build in person.:bow:

Thanks for the kind words!! :cheers:

Sorry for the lack of updates guys! Pete has been very busy finishing up some other projects so no real updates...Soon though as we have to find an end to this one...Nick's car starts real soon!! :lateral:

Tony I hope I can get up there to see it before it leaves.
Mario does this tell you anything :(

Say no more:rolleyes:

Wayne, your welcome anytime

No real updates since paint.
I have a couple cars to finish up before I leave for SEMA.

I'm given the paint a little time to dry. Tony's to far away for something to show up and need a repair or if something dies down and shrinks alittle
(This will give the paint sometime to gas out before berrying more material on)

The next step will be putting the car together to do the stripes and then dissemble for a re clear.
I have decided when it's dissembled to re clear for the stripes I'd re clear the roof, rear qrts, and back of the car since we will be re clearing the doors, fenders, hood and header for the stripes anyways.
I thought I would step up and re clear the back also then the whole car will have been sanded and re cleared for a total of 8 coats 4 coats then sanded with 500 flat and 4 coats more on top. Then we will sand and buff

Anyone that knows paint knows that this will give a nicer surface to lay the final clear down and no (less) die back.

I have put a ton of hours into this and this is the last step and most important.
I hope everyone understands this was a complete redo for Tony and I'm finishing it up in the best time I can without any charge on the project.
I put my own projects on hold for this car and I'm very exited to see it finished as much or more then the rest of you. We are coming to the end real soon.
Thanks everyone

:bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :cheers: :woot:

Pete,
you are a stand up guy, this is awesome what you are doing here! everything looks great!

Hey Brother....I am bummed about one thing and one thing only. That's how long it's going to be before I actually get to see the car in person. LoL You are doing a great job and everyone here appreciates the efforts and sacrifices you and your crew have put into Karma. When the time comes, I know without a doubt that you will give the same care and attention to my next project and trust me when I say that you will have all the time you need with it. I am sure there are many here that feel the same. You have rightfully earned the respect and trust from our community.

I can't say it enough....Thank You.

Great work by a great guy and his crew. We need more guys like that in the world. :thumbsup:

Thanks Pete.

Pete, you are a great guy and friend! You know how I feel so I will keep this short and sweet! THANKS BROTHER it is going to look KILLER!!!! And thanks for going the extra mile!!!!!!!! :thumbsup:

Funny thing Tony. The thing looks killer already!!! lol I thought that Pete and crew were done with the car and it looked killer in person, last I saw it. But, then Pete said they still have more work into it and to make it look "even": better. I was like, WHAT?!?! lol:_paranoid
Wait till you see this bad boy in person! I'm happy for you.:thumbsup:
Pete, you and the crew deserve all the best my man!!!:bow: :cheers:

X2 :thumbsup:

There better be someone there with a vid camera when he picks up the car. This is the best thing anyone could do for a car-guy. I wanna see tears man!!!

If I get enough of a heads up on the return date I will be there with a camera for sure.:thumbsup:

SO.... When is the reveal?? I'll be in SEMA with my camera... and I'd love to see Tonys face when he first sees his "Karma".... Do we have a time and place etc???

Whaaaaaaaayy better than any episode of Overhaulin!

Greg, the car isn't going to make SEMA this year....so you will have to stop by my place when the time comes.

Just a reminder, Pete is doing a TON to the car...but he isn't 'finishing' the car. The drive train, most interior, ect are still at my house. I and some friends (actually a few members here!) will assemble the car when it makes it's way home. When will that be...we don't know yet, we have never been on a schedule. Pete works on it when he can and that is ABSOLUTLY fine with me!! :cheers: :lateral:

Tony, yes it does look killer right now, but Pete has toild me there's more to come!! :unibrow:

How long before the wife and kid put a scratch or dent in the car once it gets home? LOL

I don't even want to think of that!! :faint:

Time to build a second garage, The Karma Cave.

You know it brother!!:cheers:

What kind of question is that!

Cause I know its one of Tony's biggest fears. And he has been thinking about building a half wall in his garage to protect it from such things.

Brutal....:rofl:

I had all the kids toys in the shed and the wifes car was on the driveway when I had the show car. I did make sure to clean the snow off hers to keep the peace.

The car looks killer.

Absolutely !! :yes:

Has this project stalled permanently???
 

I'm really psyched to see this thing done!!!
