Hey guys!
Met Tony and Jen today. AWESOME people!!! :thumbsup: They took pics and will post them up. (I don't want to step on Tony's toes!)
I met WanyieZ from here and a friend of his as well. Both of them were very cool. There was another member from lateral-g., I think his name was John. Brian from Comp-Spec was there and we're all talking cars and having a good time.
I got there @ 10AM and didn't leave till almost 3 hours later. Tony, his wife and the other guys were still there. (Tony should have pics up soon.):thumbsup: :cheers:

Anthony has been sending me pictures from his cell phone all morning. When I talked to him on the phone he was obviously excited, happy and very tired. He said the car looks amazing! Gaps are straight, crisp and clean...an amazing difference from the day he shipped it. He said he wold post pictures as soon as he gets back to the hotel.

You're right Curtis. That is what I was telling Tony when we were pm'ing back and forth between Wednesday and Thursday. I had to bite my tongue here and there and couldn't answer all his questions. (I wanted Pete and crew to steal the show.) I did tell Tony there was a BIG difference between when it first left for Comp-Spec to the present day.
And to everyone else that was involved, I am truly happy that I am a part of this.:bow: :lateral: :cheers:

It will be a week before pictures then, cause Tony and his wife Jen will be out driving and enjoy the car day and night!!!

Sorry for the delay guys...it's been a crazy couple days! Here's a few pics Jen took. Remember I haven't seen my car since Sept. 2008...this was a big day for me!

Big smiles as I walked in this morning!!

Here's the all steel valance that Mike (Muscle Rodz) built for us. I will be using Marquez lights and a billet grill that deletes the origional turn signals. The real cool thing is that this was the OE valance that my good friend Curtis took off The Bucket when converting to the RS front end...thanks guys!!

I'm REALLY happy I changed tires...the 335 and 275's look and fit much better.

We all ended up in the paint booth....this is a very nice car that Pete just finished!! The black paint was just killer and deep!

We had a great day and as always it was nice to put some faces with the names! Thanks to everyone that showed up today....it was real fun!

The car wasn't painted...but it will be soon! He's just about finished with the paint prep, so it won't be long now. This trip gave me a chance to go over some details with Pete before paint and we feel that was a good idea. I may go spend some more time over there tomorrow to look at all the new parts that were still in boxes and take one more look at the car! Pete and Brian have done an awesome job on the car and I couldn't be happier!

Thanks guys! And thanks again Mario!! :cheers:
