Guys and Gals, Let's not forget about all the good that happened over the last three years with this car. Many of you stepped up and donated a lot of money to help us out, Pete stepped up in a huge way and many sponsors helped as well...and Camaro Performers used the car for a year! This is all good stuff, we are still very greatful and it will never be forgotten!

There are a few things I want to finish, then we will respray the car and be off and running to the finish line! It's all good!

Remember, positive energy makes great things happen!

Woah! huh? What? What the hell happened? I was wondering when the 'Karma' thread was going to come back to life, and now I see this thread?

Last time I saw that car it was mint.... especially for a "road course" car. All it needed was glass, interior, drivetrain and I think the trunklid. I'm blown away seeing this, after all the donated parts and labor that went into it. It's almost like it was all for nothing now?

Please tell me there is more to it... Like you won the lottery or something and now can afford to make it Riddler quality or something, because other than that, I don't understand????

I would have given my left nut (and that's my favorite one) to have that car as you got it. That was like a once in a 100 lifetimes type of deal. I even looked through the old thread again just to make sure I wasn't imagining things.

I guess it doesn't look it by this post... but I'm speachless over this

Tony is making a few small changes to the car (like the spoiler) and being a stickler when it comes to things fitting right. He's doing what has to be done to insure that. All the donations that have gone into the car and will make it that much nicer. Can't be easy for him (he's been around here longer than most of us) to see all the projects being completed while his is still in progress. Still I applaud him for sticking to it and not giving up as so many have done over the years.

Tony's car is one that I want to see done more than any...including mine. Besides he promised to let me drive it.

Everybody has a different comfort level with imperfection. It's his car and the way he wants it is all that really matters.

Once you get out and really start using these cars, perfection is not nearly as important as rock chips, cone rash, rain, fluid spray, are natural. The car show guys can really pick a car apart. I used to be like that but I prefer a car that is used vs. a perfect show queen. It's really not that big a set back.

To each their own. But wow... just wow

Probably a good thing he isn't calling it 'Karma' anymore and is just calling it 'My Car'

Feel like I'm late to the party. Along with everyone else, glad to see it moving forward and hopefully excising remaining demons. I really glad your getting all this experience with fabrication and welding 'cause to get My Chevelle out of it's ten year life as a shelf I'm gonna need to borrow you. Please tell me we don't have to go through the whole color thing again though.....

Hey, if you can get away this weekend or next, come out to P.I.R.
