RIIIIIIIIIIIGHHHHHHHHHTTTT BYYYYYYYYY DAAAAA BEEEEECCCCCHHHHHH!!!

Its been long, tiring, frustrating, theres been tears, theres been almost blood, some bruises, some fights, some hugs, some almost gay moments (mikespeed), and much more.

But alas an end is in sight, especially since i just heard the car crank up, BE RIGHT BACK

YES! It's alive!

Mikespeed is kinda gay.

Oh and SOAP D!CK!

i will be hitting F5 frantically until you return

**Vteckidd** · 10-25-2007, 06:13 PM

Here some quick pics i took
Installing the Decals

Finally cranked the car and messed with the AEM

This is why we keep dan so skinny and small (IE we dont feed him) Hes perfect for those tight wiring jobs

Heres the 4in Aluminum Exhaust we made, straight pipe, loud, shin kicker

**NAIZBST** · 10-25-2007, 06:16 PM

damn nice

:idb:

NOW I'M PISSED. HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL EVERYONE THAT IT'S HO NOT HOE. A HOE IS A GARDEN TOOL.

Oh and you will just have to keep checking back for pics of the car

I would also like to thank everyone who came in and out of here for the past couple of weeks. I will say some names and I am sure I will forget some, but don't be mad. You know I love ya!!!! A few of these people have pulled all nighters for us. That's amazing and totally unexpected.

Thanks to:
Baller, Bucky, Brandon, Mike, Mike Peters, Scott Siegel, Kelby, Lee Ann (fawk you), Peter, Jason (speedminded), Kevin Keegan, Brady, Yousef, Justin (B@d @pple), Allen Chen....that's all I can think of for now besides the couple of people who I don't know that are friends with Scott and Jason.

Thanks to everyone who followed the build. Your support and excitement is awesome. We have a few offers for coverage of the car, so look for that announcement.

It's been a rough 20 days. It will all be worth it. This is what we live for. Go big or go home

I think that's the right saying for this occasion.

P.S. we are trailering our own car. We get some compensation for gas and our hotels are taken care of.

Welcome.

**atlantamx3** · 10-25-2007, 06:58 PM

Cut that exhaust tip down a bit too. Its too long.

Otherwise, looks good!

**Vteckidd** · 10-25-2007, 07:01 PM

we want it long, we want people to ram into the back of the car an melt their intercooler

Oh and you will just have to keep checking back for pics of the car

.

i like being incorrect

**gobraves00** · 10-25-2007, 10:12 PM

this has been the most entertaining thread in a long while. i have enjoyed watching from start to finish and reading all the posts. i find myself wanting to get home to check the progress. i cant wait to see the pics of it in vegas under the big lights. i dont think i would change one thing about it, not even the odd colors of the accessories. Free is free and take what you can. Seriuosly you just rebuilt this car and spent hardly any cash, and it is ready for next season. Again awesome job and post pics ASAP.

**The Yousef** · 10-25-2007, 10:25 PM

i'll see y'all in 7 days in Sin City!

**Nittanys1** · 10-25-2007, 10:58 PM

^^that sounds like fun!!! I want to go

**Vteckidd** · 10-25-2007, 11:00 PM

THE MOMENT HAS FINALLY COME, AT 11PM OCTOBER 25th (I THINK THATS THE DATE)

AFTER 48 HOURS OF NO SLEEP

IT IS DONE , TAKING PICS NOW

**Twinnos** · 10-26-2007, 12:42 AM

the car is simply amazing, a work of art. tracy and dan you guys rock and deserve all the good things that will be coming your way. thanks for sharing this project build with us.

**mikespeed95** · 10-26-2007, 01:02 AM

the car is sick in person.

its honestly the best car i've seen as far as pulling off a proffessional level racecar, while having a little fun, but it just comes across in person as a well built racecar wtih a little fun.

its really awesome.

no full pics can be seen till the 1st day of sema due to sponsors and stuff. but it is beautiful, tacky, and very well built.

the cage is still bolt in due to time constraints.
