Thanks guys... I respect everyones opinions... The bumper is just a preference thing. Some love it and others don't... it's cool... I love it and I'm so glad it came out as good as it did... Thanks to the tight mad skills of Mike. I hopeing and praying to be driving this thing by Wednesday, at the latest... I might have to bring it to the G-nett meet for the first one...maybe

IMO they need to be black. it will flow with the lip... so whatever the lip does the skirts should really follow. but i know you'll do whatever you can to be different so paint them purple or put LEDs in them or something lol.

The work has been done by a number of people. Without the 10+ people, it would not be where it's at.. It's a good team effort... :goodjob:

judging by the shaved(welded)bay, new paint, all the brake line work, kevlar work, etc. mike has a good bit of time invest as he's usually the one working on shit. But either way, glad to see an end to almost a 5month build thread.



And 10+ people to finish 1 car in 5 months? :ninja:

I like how you filled the fog light holes on your front bumper! Defiantly looks different. I don't think I ever seen someone do that. Kinda looks like a JoJo Callos 3 piece front end or a Exospeed front end. Mucho props man! :goodjob:

Thanks, man


Car was running today... it was so nice to hear it going again. Side skirts have been repainted, Black.... Had the starter wire ground itself out and burnt the wire.. So, after all the stuff I did today, wake up at 6 o clock, not eat ANYTHING all day.. I finally let a wire connector get the best of me and I had to go home...lol... Car will be driven tomorrow, most def. Then some paint spots fixed, dash put in. And then I'm driving to where ever I run out of gas...lol...

My last post in this thread is dedicated to the list of thank yous I have. I want to first say I appreciate the help from everyone involved.

I want to thank Mike(the bucky), for all his help and work. And thank you for the patience of dealing with me. There's no way I could ever thank him enough for EVERYTHING that he has done. He is the greatest friend and mentor anyone can ask for.

Thanks to Ash, for putting up with my son and all his crazyness.

Thanks to Tony(carbon Crash) for the vtak belt break and the dry ice run..lol. and for the timing belt gear.

Thanks to Brian(SLOWR/T) for the welding and wrench holding.

Thanks to Daniel(d_day87) for setting his beers on the car.lol and the help he gave me.

Thanks to the wifey for letting me spend ALL my money on the car and staying with me.

Thanks to Jake(4uh8ers) for all the help he did. I love you, man. No Homo

Thanks to Dustin(dkjohnson) for the suspension lowering and everything else

Thanks to Paul Wall(paul s) for being the sexy bitch he is and for the incredible work we made him do...lol

Thanks to Justin(Mr._Clean) for taking the dash out and for the help the other night on the motor re-swap and for pikaters

Thanks to Alvin for the tattoos on those drunken nights after working on the car

Thanks to Dale for the help on assembly

Thanks to every SINGLE person who had a hand on this car. If I forgot your name, I'm sorry.

I want to give a big Thanks to Honda Parts Connection and the wife making them give me parts I needed.

Again, without these people it wouldn't have been possible and I thank every single one of you from the bottom of my heart. I love you guys.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU
