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!!

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

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?

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!

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.

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.
