Thanks guys from both of us! Chris is on the road today looking at what hopefully will be future projects...I'm sure he'll chime in tomorrow.

No badging or striping...less is more with this car!! The rendering shows it just the way it will be...thanks again Carter!!

Autokraft 11-27-2007 07:34 PM

That rendering looks Badass:thumbsup: I can't wait to see it done.:D

907rs 11-27-2007 08:38 PM

I suck at p-shop...and I thought it looked fine!! :thumbsup:

Spiffav8 12-21-2007 01:40 AM

That is bangin! Looking forward to seeing pictures if it's home coming. :yes:

bigtyme1 12-23-2007 11:00 PM

Progress looks great!

Spiffav8 12-26-2007 09:29 PM

Just got a few more of those insider pics of Anthonys car. The kind that even he doesn't get. The car looks awesome sitting out in the sun. Chris is doing some very cool stuff! :thumbsup:

awr68 12-26-2007 10:02 PM

You're killing me! You would think the guy writing the checks could see the car!! Well I guess it adds to the fun for when it rolls out of the trailer!!! :)

I think you'll live. If you could (and you can't) see the way the paint lights up on one panel and then the shadow on another you'd be doing cartwheels. The reflection is over the top!

Honestly, I think this car is way to nice for you. :D

I think the checks I'll be writing just got a little smaller. :rofl:

Spiffav8 12-31-2007 09:47 PM

Just make sure you get a picture of the look on Tony's face when he sees it.

:thumbsup:

awr68 12-31-2007 11:24 PM

Curtis, I'm sure I'll be all smiles for days!
Looks great Chris!! I asked for a durable trunk and I think I got it!!
It's going to be a long wait tomorrow, I just took some Nyquil (sp?) to ensure a good nights sleep! I guess I should mention that I have a head cold so it's a win-win...I'm not that much of a junky!! :_paranoid

Can hardly wait to see it in the sun and take some pics with the Fikse's on it!! Oh and finally see the spoiler!! :thumbsup:

Spiffav8 01-01-2008 09:46 AM

Hey Anthony...Going nuts yet? :lol:

awr68 01-01-2008 09:52 AM

Well nothing is going to happen till tomorrow...Chris has been working huge days and is pretty sick as well...he gave her hell the last two days but honestly needs another day to 'finish' it...so tomorrow is 'the day'. And no it doesn't change the fact that I want to see it! :yes:

DRJDVM's '69 01-01-2008 10:50 AM

Yeah, we will be bolting the wheels on before the door on the trailer closes!! And then the pics start!! :unibrow:

awr68 01-01-2008 11:34 AM

Ned it's almost your turn! I know Chris is excited to go back to doing a little metal work and take a break form the body work...it's been a grueling few months for him! He's looking forward to doing your metal work, it will be like a working vacation! Just a couple more days and the sparks start to fly!! :thumbsup:

JohnC 01-01-2008 06:32 PM

Congrats, Tony. It looks great!

Spiffav8 01-01-2008 07:12 PM

O.k. your under the 24hr mark. You'll make it. Just keep repeating "I think I can, I think I can" and you'll be fine. :thumbsup:

Maybe have a brown paper bag to breath into just in case.

Sales@Dutchboys 01-01-2008 08:02 PM

Congrats Tony,

The car looks great! :thumbsup:


Paul

Spiffav8 01-01-2008 09:36 PM

Stay calm.....your doing just fine. We're behind you all the way and you'll get through this.

awr68 01-01-2008 10:22 PM

Curtis You crack me up!! :lol:
One more busy work day to get threw and it will be home! :thumbsup:

Just talked with Chris and it's an hour or two from being loaded in the trailer...what a guy! I mentioned it before, but wanted to again, he is totally under the weather (sick) and is putting in hours most guys couldn't do healthy...what a trooper! Thanks again Chris!! :hail: :thumbsup:

Spiffav8 01-01-2008 11:46 PM

Yeah well it might only be one work day, but it will be the longest one of your life. Of course you know you'll get stuck in the worst traffic jam in the history of the automobile on your way home. Then just after you clear those jam packed lanes of rubber necker's you'll get a flat. It will of course rain the entire time your changing the tire only to mysteriously stop as soon as your finished. You'll arrive at home tired and soaked to the bone but still excited to see your car.

Let's just hope Chris has better luck with the traffic than you do. :D

Sounds like your getting the usual set of directions. Just wing it and if you don't find his place by 6ish, just leave it in a parking lot and tell him where to pick it up. lol

Thanks for the spy photos! That thing is looking Bad A$$! Are you putting the rear bumper on it or is Anthony?

To bad those are the last of the lot. It's been a lot of fun torturing Anthony. Hey, what are friends for. :thumbsup:

Flash68 01-02-2008 01:38 AM

Anthony, that is a sweet blue!

Looking forward to your pics with the wheels on it. Happy for ya! :thumbsup:
