    50% of The Batlground crew left today and the second part of the journey began, the 2 day drive to VEGAS.

    Myself and Brandon opted to stay behind to keep the shop up and running since we have so much stuff to get done, and its a busy time for us. WE have several tuning and motor swap appts so we opted to take care of those.

    Stay tuned as tuesday we will post full pics of the car and interior, and Tracy and Dan and MikeSpeed will start their own thread covering SEMA for you and showing you whats hot and what its like for a shop to go to SEMA looking for next years sponsors, and what it takes to make it in this industry.

    Lots more info to come, lots more pics, lots more long nights. We havent even started the V8 swaps yet

    Polishing a pipe sounds so simple but it had so many scratches in it. It was hard to polish out all the scratches. The car looks so awesome in person. Pictures just don't do it justice.

    The car looks good except for that damned exhaust! it looks stupid, plus if you get tapped you risk having the entire exhaust bent or putting pressure on the turbo/manifold and cracking it. otherwise nice job!

    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.
    I helped some too!

    Must be a very good feeling to have people selflessly lend a helping hand!


    Props to those who helped out!
