Saw KARMA today!
 

Stopped by Competition Specialties earlier today and met Pete and Brain at the shop. Real nice and cool guys. I got to see Karma there as well. I thought Karma looked awesome compared to the first set of pics that everyone saw way back before she got to Comp-Spec. I saw Nick's car too, Orange Krate. (If I had known I was going to Comp-Spec, I would have brought a camera with me to post some pics. I was out and about and decided to check things out, spur of the moment.)
I was really impressed with the Speed-Tech subframe as well. Looked really tough and ready for duty. The wheel/tire choice on Karma is BAD ASS!
You will be happy Tony!!:cheers:
Just wanted to say thanks to Pete and Brian for showing me around and taking the time out to say what's up. Good guys.:lateral: :cheers:

this sums it up pretty well
:ttiwop:

Man thats great I would love to see the car in person!!!!!:yes: :cheers:

Yep, they are great guys!!
 

Glad you finally got to see the car! I am told pics are just a few days away.....I can't wait to see what Pete and the boys have been up to!! :cheers:

Yeah, I was pretty sikked. Looks great in person.
I'll be stopping by more once they start tearing into Nick's Orange Krate as well, if Pete doesn't mind.
(Like I said, I would have taken pics, especially for Tony, but it was spur of the moment and I didn't think I would be stopping by.)
KARMA looks good Pete & Brian!!!:thumbsup: :cheers:

You will be happy.:cheers:
The Speed-Tech subframe looks KILLER!
And the wheel/tire combo is AWESOME!!:hail:

Well I hope Pete gets us up to speed soon . Whens the last time you talked to Pete Tony???? Whats going on ,when is it comming home??? We have to know these things!!!!!!:willy: :willy: :cheers:

Mario............
 

I talked to Pete a few days ago and we are suppose to see some updated pics towards the end of the week....I can't wait to see them!!

Also, I have been told to keep an eye out for the new CP...I believe the June issue is going to kick off the fun! Steve-Nick correct me if I'm wrong......

Man I wish I can get a subscription to that magazine I had to give up!! I look forward to the updates!!!

Oh man!!! You are killin me!;) I have been waiting for an update and you go there without a camera?? :lol:
Glad to hear it's turning out so nice. Can't wait to see it in person some day.

Yea update!!!!!!
thanks for the kudos on the sub frame glad you like it's looks.

Me too, I wanna see some parts installed.........

I do believe Pete said he was going to snap some pics and post them. (Plus, I don't want to step on anybody's toes.)
I did get to see the front valance though. LOOKS AWESOME!!:thumbsup:
I thought it was '69 valance when I first saw it. But the car does look good.
I'm still raving about the tire/wheel combo.:hail:

You're welcome. I was pretty impressed with what I saw.
If I do not do the DSE, I will definitely go with the Speed-Tech.:thumbsup: :cheers:

My dog ate my camera ...I'm following him around now ...I should have pics up soon...:unibrow:

Wwwhhhaaaatttt?!?!?!?
 

lol:wow: :lol:

X-LAX Pete Im telling ya it works!!:rofl:

So if the pictures turn out crappy,..........we can blame the dog.:rofl:

It's nice to know I'm not the only one hitting refresh every couple minutes!! :lol:

I've been doing since the car arrived at Comp. :rolleyes:

Should have some pics this week! I know we are all anxious to see it again!

I wanted to publicaly thank Pete again for all the work he has done on Karma....I know it has taken quite a bit longer than we thought, but with the CP tech articles, new frame/suspension, sheet metal work, ect...the car took on a whole new life. Pete is a trooper and is doing an awesome job! Thanks brother!! :cheers:

As we know Karma came here too get paint work redone. As we got into the job it became a bigger project, with a complete stripping of the car, sheet metal replacement, a new sub frame, new power windows, new glass, the list goes on and on.
So,my guy asked "what are we going to do this should be stripped to put or name on it".
I said your right, F*ck it I said, we'll take care of his car. We'll do the complete build over. Every part they want to send or use we'll do it ....
Still at no charge!
Something we could have fixed in maybe 80 - 100 hrs now is going to be like 500hrs when we are done. I told Tony don't worry I'll take car of it like I said and that's what we're doing.

Then we got to get tech articles written about the car and repairs.To do the tech we have to schedule with the photo shoot, sometime schedules don't always work out, he might have the time and I don't or vise vs.
So that puts more time into getting some of the things done as fast.
Somethings you normally get done quick take ALOT longer.

We were trying to get Tony painted this week but Chuck is at Ocean City this weekend working the show and last week I was just not ready.
I'm sorry if I miss led anyone into thinking it was all painted and done But, Tony's come a long ways and is very close to being finished.
We are working as fast as we can with everything that's going on with this project without sacrificing the quality of the job, to assure Tony doesn't end up like the last time
I'm still hoping it will be ready for pick up at the end of June

Once my dog takes a dump I'll post some pics of were the Project as at
Thanks everyone

Class Act!!
 

You and your shop are a class act Pete!! Pure and simple.

Its people like you and Chad Fletcher that restore my faith in people... Tony's car is simply going to be AMAZING!!

I'm sure he will agree with me, that it's the outpouring of support like this that makes this hobby so great!!

Makes me proud to be a member of this community! :lateral: :thumbsup:

V/R,
Ty

Keep doing what your doing Pete !! These things take time,we all know this.Tony is one lucky MOFO !!! He's going to have one badazz ride very soon:hail:

Very well said.
I agree!:thumbsup: :cheers:

I agree 100% Ty!

Thanks Pete!
As you know, Jennifer and I are extremely grateful of what you are doing for us! The fact that you let the project grow like it did and still offered to do it for free speaks volumes of the kind of person you are! You have a good sole my friend!!

Now where's that dog? :lol:

Pete you got more than you asked for and I commend you for sticking with it. This is a true example of going above and beyond. Not only have you done a good thing for Anthony, but you've done a good thing for the entire Pro-Touring community. Our group is a little tighter and closer than it was prior to all of this.

Keep up the good work brother and thanks! :thumbsup:

WOW!!! that's a very humbling thing to read...
That makes me feel like this is well worth the extra effort

Well said Curtis. If people did not know about Pete and Comp-Spec before this adventure (like me), they surely will know now. :thumbsup:

And the Karma name could not be more appropriate here for Pete as well, as I predict good things will come to him in the future for this great deed.

And Comp-Spec deserves any and all press they are getting from all this.

Great stuff.

psh! yeah right the more and more bad azz this car gets the more i hate tony! lol

indeed petes an amazing person! its still blow my mind he doing this all for free.
and lets not forget mario either:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Oh don't worry I got respect from my buddy Mario...and for everyone else that kicked in to help Anthony! :thumbsup:

WORD!! Here's a little cheer for everyone involved! :lateral: :cheering: :lateral:

Mario is the ring leader

yeah, yeah, yeah....you guys can share the blame. :lol:

I'm with AJ. You must be getting to church every Sunday:D
