My cars on the way to Comp-Spec!!
 

Everyone here has been incredibly generous and I thank you all once again!

The car is on it's way to Competition Specialties for the body and paint redo. The transporter used a roll back tow truck to get it to their place of business where it will be loaded onto the transporter and make the 3000 mile trip from Oregon to Mass.! Pete has been patiently waiting for the car and will get right at it when it arrives...that should be in about a week. Thanks again Pete for really stepping up and helping me out!

I want to thank SW for helping me find a transporter....thanks again!

And Mario (DOOM) needs thanked again for suppling the materials for the job! Mario, you should be getting that phone call from Pete real soon!

Other's (Jody & Stuart) have really stepped up and helped with a few parts that I needed to move forward with the project, and now there is another name to add! Mike (Muscle Rodz) has donated some MUCH needed OE parts. Thanks Mike, you know how much I appreciate it!

Here are a few pics from just an hour ago! I'm very excited to have the car on it's way and being fixed by a REAL pro....nothing but good times now!! :yes:

Oh, and for those that missed the story here's a link to it. And a link to the Paypal Donation thread.

Thanks again everyone!!

That's awesome Anthony. Good to see it's going to get done right this time. I've got a TON of work to do on my car and I really hope this kind of thing doesn't happen to me. I can't wait to see the results when you get your car back. Hopefully there can be some good updates on the progress while the car is at Competition Specialties.

Thanks Allen! And yes there should be plenty of updates during the stay @ Comp Spec!!

yep, I believe Tony plans on a full-blown build thread with lots of pics from Pete. Congrats again Tony, and many thanks to Pete at Competition Specialties and all the others that have donated to the cause.

Jody

Congratulations Anthony
 

Congratulations . I live in Mass. and I've seen the work that Pete and his guys do. I've seen his cars at a few shows but never hooked up with him. I'd say your in good hands now, so rest easy. Wayne

That's great Anthony! On the road to recovery... :thumbsup:

Great to hear.. Pete does top notch work.

In fact he will be painting our second gen project car.. Orange Krate.


When it gets there I will get with him and do a small story on the whole deal, it's good to see a community come together like this.

Let me know if I can be of any help.

Tony this is great!!!!! Tell Pete Im ready !! Im in Maui I'll be back home Tuesday I'll wait for Petes call
Mario

Steve, I think the story is a great idea! People always say that car guys/gals are the best people out there...this is proof!

I know when Curtis started 'the thread' he had no idea what was going to happen and certainly never though anything like this! I can't thank him enough for "just wanting me to get things off my chest"!

Yep I feel real good about Pete doing the car...it all going to fine now! :D

Cool, thanks Mario! Enjoy the islands!!! :cheers:

Anthony, nice to see things are on the upswing. Can't wait to watch the progress.
Good luck all.

radambler

GOOD TIMES COMING MY MAN!!!:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Can't wait for the updates. You the man Pete:cheers:

Awesome.

Glad to here it is finally on the way.

Anthony, parts are leaving today.

So is there a color picked out or does Pete get to choose? :unibrow:

Wow....It's amazing to watch all this unfold. My buddy Anthony is once again energized and excited about his project. This was like a big LG intervention and we pulled Anthony back from the edge. Thanks to everyone who donated in any way, however big or small, to help my friend. I am so looking forward to pictures and even more so to driving the car. (Yes Anthony I'll fly in from Dubai, if I move there, to drive the car).

:lateral:

Good for you Anthony. Glad to see things are headed the right way now.

See ya in Vegas.

Pete, your a class act my friend!

Good to hear.

:thumbsup: :lateral: :woot:

Good to hear Anthony! Looks like you are in good hands now with Pete :thumbsup:

Thanks everyone for the ongoing support and kind words! Curtis is right, I am fired up once again to finish the car and I owe that to our L-g family! :lateral:

Thanks everone we'll get tony back in shape real soon


Thanks Jay, cool meeting ya.... your work looked top notch my friend

I think there was talk of a change but you'll have to beat that out of Tony

Lenny that's good to hear! I have seen Pete's work before and I know I'm in good hands...but it's still good to hear from others what a great guy he is and that he does great work! And it's awesome that you are willing to lend a hand...thanks!! :thumbsup:

I agree James, what Pete is doing is really a big deal and it speaks volumes of what kind of guy he is! I think I owe him a drink or two in Vegas!!

Here's the deal, the whole car needs tuned up and a full repaint...so color change is an option. Honestly, I like the blue, but I have a lot of bad memories attached to this color and I wouldn't mind a fresh start. So I am working with Carter again and we are trying to come up with something new. I just can't say enough about Carter, he's such a great guy to work with and is willing to try anything...design wise. :)

Great News Anthony! Pete, you are the man!:hail:

My specialty! :captain: :thumbsup: :D

Carter is great to work with! He's done a few renderings for me on a couple different builds!

how did i miss this whole thing?...what happened?(should i ask?):_paranoid
