It's been a couple of days since I got back from SEMA. I have had plenty of time to reflect on how blessed I am. As most know, I've been working on this car for 20 years. It's been a long road, and there is no way I could have done this without the support and understanding of my wife, Diane, and both my boys James and Joey. For that, THANK YOU! I'm beyond grateful that we were all there together for the debut at SEMA. Something I will cherish for the rest of my life.

To all the members, who some I've become good friends with, and some who I now consider family - THANK YOU as well! Have learned so much from the likes of many members here. I can't thank you enough.

I also want to talk about my experience of SEMA flying under the Mother’s Polish Banner. These people are pure class!! Their hospitality was unmatched! They truly treated all of us like family and made this special occasion more than we could have ever imagined. They did a full paint correct and cermaic coat on the car. The difference was remarkable! Their products and expertise took this car to the next level. Mother's Polish for the win!

It's been a hell of a ride! Feels good to finally be here. Notice I said here.. and not done. It was done enough for SEMA, but it was not fully done. Still need to install side mirrors, charge the AC, and button up a few loose ends. I also need to get a final tune in it and shake it out. Next year will be great getting it out there and driving it.
