refering to the fact that someone stated the car need striped to the metal. I figure you new what you were doing and that your quality of work would not be compremised by your qoute for the job.
hope this explains it better

Pete didn't quote, bid, or estimate this job....simply offered to fix the car if I could get it to him....no matter what it took to 'make it right'. Thanks to many generous members and sponsors here I was able to ship Pete the car. And a special thanks to Camaro Performers for using the car for tech articles...that got Pete (comp-spec) a lot of press...and he deserves every bit of it! He's a great person and friend and I can never thank him and his team enough! And let's not forget about Mario....what a saint and great friend he is! Thanks again to all my sponsors and the great members of L-g!! :cheers: :lateral:

No it doesn't. I don't think you have all your facts straight regarding this car.

greycamaro 06-22-2010 08:40 PM

Wow! not sure I understand what your saying however, I was actually coming to the guys defense on who is doing the job. rather he is doing the job on his nickle or not I don't care. A person doesn't get to that level doing poor quality of work and I'm quite sure he nows what he is doing and doesn't need others telling him how to do the work and I'm also sure his quality of work will not chang with the price. Looks like my orignal post has lost its way some how.

Greycamaro....

I read all the posts you added to this thread -- and I have no clue what you're talking about - or referring to - or what it is you're trying to add to this thread. I don't think anyone else here does either.

Have you actually read this thread? Do you understand that this car was done poorly - by a different shop (not Comp-Spec)... and that Comp-Spec took on the job of making it right (nobody cares what the arrangement is or isn't - doesn't matter to anyone except the car owner and the shop owner - we don't discuss that kind of stuff here).

Maybe back up and start over - and let us all know what you're trying to say - you've piqued my interest now.. :cheers:

greycamaro 06-22-2010 09:06 PM

yes, i have read the whole thread and do know that a chop shop did the prior work. I'll look for the post i was refering to(SEE POST 191), however someone stated that it looks like the car needs sanded to metal and I was stating that (whoever is doing the work now) he will know what to do to the car as he has the car in front of him, pictures don't always tell the story. His quality was not lowered to do the job.

As far as the arrangements I'm not interested in that area.QUOTE=GregWeld;292983]Greycamaro....

Not trying to detract from the story or the car. the job is progressing and looking super from the pictures I've seen.
I think I'll go cu the roof off my 69 now.

Alex -- POST 191 was like 2 YEARS AGO....

That was so long ago ------ it's tough to start posting comments about a post that is that old -- no wonder everyone was confused.

greycamaro 06-22-2010 09:14 PM

ok i guesss i better start checking the dates and hit the quote key.

Alex -- no harm no foul...

YES -- if you're new to LAT-G (or any forum for that matter) dates matter - especially if you're cruising around reading and then posting. Note this particular thread dates back a long time! It's the Eveready bunny thread... it keeps going and going and going... It started when the car arrived at Comp-Spec in SEPTEMBER 2008.... and the story of how it got there is even older! :rofl:

DOOM 06-23-2010 05:27 AM

In case you were wondering Alex... Greg is or forum pit bull.:lol:

greycamaro 06-23-2010 05:41 AM

conekiller13 08-03-2010 11:58 AM

So what's the latest?:willy:

96z28ss 08-03-2010 04:30 PM

I think Tony sold it!!

Yep Im starting rumors untill we get an update and pics. Its long over due.

awr68 08-03-2010 04:36 PM

Pete told me the other day that he's in the final stretch and taking care of all the details that make all the differance in the end. He should be finished with his part of the build later this month and sending it home! I have to talk to the transporter and get a pick-up date finalized. It's close!! :D

FWIW, Pete's holding out on pics until it's finished and rolled out into that East Coast Sun for the final WOW! He's not even sending me teasers!! :willy:

I'm pretty sure I would be shot dead if it had been sold!! The only person I would sell it to at this point in time would be Pete....he has A LOT invested into Karma....and that is a HUGE understatement!! :yes:

GregWeld 08-03-2010 04:48 PM

Sold what.... never heard of it.

bigtyme1 08-03-2010 05:00 PM

It won't be long, Can't wait to see it.

rwhite692 08-03-2010 05:26 PM

Man, not even sending you some teaser shots, that's just cruel! :D

Flash68 08-04-2010 01:30 AM

gettin closer eh Tony? :rockin: :morepower :morepower

tones2SS 08-04-2010 06:46 AM

I really need to stop by the shop to see the guys and the car!! I haven't been down there in a long time. Last time I saw it, it look great! And Pete said it wasn't even done yet. I was pretty amazed actually, the way it was when I last saw it. Pete and his guys are awesome, not just in building these machines, but for what he's doing for Tony and the pro-tour/lateral-g community!:lateral: :thumbsup: :cheers:

awr68 08-04-2010 04:51 PM

Tony and Wayne, you guys should schedule some time to see Pete and Brian...and Karma! I don't quite have a ship date for him yet....but I'm working on that! :cheers:

conekiller13 08-04-2010 05:12 PM

Still waiting patiently to help with assembly and set up.................http://clipart.coolclips.com/AGifm/t...s_wb022569.gif

awr68 08-04-2010 05:30 PM

Dan, I know you are! We will have a great time! Bob is also waiting patiently!

Tony, yes and no....it won't leave for a few weeks or so. In my book, that's pretty soon! :D
