Tony's car "Karma" has arrived

[bulldog19]

Wow!! Pete, you and your crew have outdone yourselves once again. Tony you must be like a kif on Christmas. Looks awesome. Congratulations!!!!

[awr68]

I don't normally reply with the "your car looks great" kind of comments, but I feel compelled to in this case.

That Ferrari does nothing for the color...compared to Karma! Ferrari had no idea they made that color specifically for the 1st gen Camaro!

Thank you very much for the kind words and it being your first post means even more! :cheers:

[awr68]

Thanks again guys for all the kind words! It's been a great year having the car worked on at comp-spec and now we are at the super fun part!! I cant stop looking at all the pics...it looks so good!! :D

[camcojb]

looks beautiful Tony, congrats! And Pete, you are the man.:hail:

Jody

[Flash68]

Wow, just wow.

[DOOM]

But again ,Pete put all the parts together to make this happen end of story,it was his time and labor not mine he's the man!!!!:bow:

Hey AJ, I gotta say the same, but after seeing in person. WOW!! Looks killer.
Good choice Tony.:cheers:

[70rs]

Looks good Tony, "100" pages later and shes almost home.
Great color choice. Pete did ya justice.

Not just 100 pages, but the post above was the 1000 th post in this thread! Is there a door prize? :D

The car is just awesome looking Tony! The wheels, color, everything is great! :thumbsup:

[Garage Dog 65]

How about the rest of the parts status while cut/polish is in progress. Do you have all the sub assemblies together ready to go - or do you need to plate/paint those and assemble up before install ? (motor in the sub frame already ? pics ??)

Jim

[awr68]

Jim, the Speed Tech sub is painted, on the car, and aligned...but yet to be welded to the DSE SFC's...soon though. All the ST parts came powder painted so that is done and assembled.

I already had the bottom of the car painted as well as the rear suspension but that may need a little freshing up after all the work that has been done.

The motor and T56 are at my house and I will install them once the car returns home from it's walk about.

Pete is doing a lot to Karma, but isn't finishing the car to a turn key point.

Thanks again to all for your interest in our project!! :lateral: :cheers:

[Garage Dog 65]

So.... how many times a week do you go to the garage and lift the tarp off the engine and stare ?

Now the difficult question - how often do you stand there staring AND make the engine sounds .....

:lol:

Won't be long now !!

Fire it up.

You guys need to give yourselves a pat on the back. Makes me proud to be a member of a site like this! Its great to see a group of people united in a common cause, pull together and create such a work of art. Excellent job guys! The car looks Fantastic! :lateral: :thumbsup:

Sorry for the lack of updates guys! Pete has been very busy finishing up some other projects so no real updates...Soon though as we have to find an end to this one...Nick's car starts real soon!! :lateral:

[waynieZ]

Tony I hope I can get up there to see it before it leaves.
Mario does this tell you anything :(

[comp-spec]

Wayne, your welcome anytime

[comp-spec]

So what's the latest? :willy:

No real updates since paint.
I have a couple cars to finish up before I leave for SEMA.

I'm given the paint a little time to dry. Tony's to far away for something to show up and need a repair or if something dies down and shrinks alittle
(This will give the paint sometime to gas out before berrying more material on)

The next step will be putting the car together to do the stripes and then dissemble for a re clear.
I have decided when it's dissembled to re clear for the stripes I'd re clear the roof, rear qrts, and back of the car since we will be re clearing the doors, fenders, hood and header for the stripes anyways.
I thought I would step up and re clear the back also then the whole car will have been sanded and re cleared for a total of 8 coats 4 coats then sanded with 500 flat and 4 coats more on top. Then we will sand and buff

Anyone that knows paint knows that this will give a nicer surface to lay the final clear down and no (less) die back.

I have put a ton of hours into this and this is the last step and most important.
I hope everyone understands this was a complete redo for Tony and I'm finishing it up in the best time I can without any charge on the project.
I put my own projects on hold for this car and I'm very exited to see it finished as much or more then the rest of you. We are coming to the end real soon.
Thanks everyone

Hey Brother....I am bummed about one thing and one thing only. That's how long it's going to be before I actually get to see the car in person. LoL You are doing a great job and everyone here appreciates the efforts and sacrifices you and your crew have put into Karma. When the time comes, I know without a doubt that you will give the same care and attention to my next project and trust me when I say that you will have all the time you need with it. I am sure there are many here that feel the same. You have rightfully earned the respect and trust from our community.

I can't say it enough....Thank You.

[mrr1999]

Great work by a great guy and his crew. We need more guys like that in the world. :thumbsup:

[waynieZ]

Wait till you see this bad boy in person! I'm happy for you.:thumbsup:

SO.... When is the reveal?? I'll be in SEMA with my camera... and I'd love to see Tonys face when he first sees his "Karma".... Do we have a time and place etc???

Greg, the car isn't going to make SEMA this year....so you will have to stop by my place when the time comes.

Just a reminder, Pete is doing a TON to the car...but he isn't 'finishing' the car. The drive train, most interior, ect are still at my house. I and some friends (actually a few members here!) will assemble the car when it makes it's way home. When will that be...we don't know yet, we have never been on a schedule. Pete works on it when he can and that is ABSOLUTLY fine with me!! :cheers: :lateral:

[awr68]

I don't even want to think of that!! :faint:

[65 347]

I don't even want to think of that!! :faint:

Time to build a second garage, The Karma Cave.

[Vegas69]

How long before the wife and kid put a scratch or dent in the car once it gets home? LOL

What kind of question is that!

[96z28ss]

What kind of question is that!

Cause I know its one of Tony's biggest fears. And he has been thinking about building a half wall in his garage to protect it from such things.

[70rs]

How long before the wife and kid put a scratch or dent in the car once it gets home? LOL

Brutal....:rofl:

[Bow Tie 67]

I had all the kids toys in the shed and the wifes car was on the driveway when I had the show car. I did make sure to clean the snow off hers to keep the peace.

The car looks killer.

[Garage Dog 65]

Absolutely !! :yes:

[boynton6spd]

I'm really psyched to see this thing done!!!

[awr68]

Has this project stalled permanently???
I'm really psyched to see this thing done!!!

Nope, not stalled permanently....Pete just had to finish up a few paying jobs and then there was the SEMA week delay. He should be getting back on it soon though!! He actually is getting pretty close...they have done a lot of work on the car this year!!

And thanks for being psyched! A lot of us are excited to have the car in a finished state! :cheers: :lateral:

[Spiffav8]

I've been home for a few weeks and finally caught up on all my reading, which of course includes a few issues of Camaro Performers. I have to admit that I've been more interested in reading the tech articles thanks to the work Pete and his crew has been doing on Karma. I am learning a lot and just wanted to say thanks to Pete and his crew. I suppose a little credit goes to the guys at Camaro Performers too. LoL

Awesome job on this car. I just saw it in the latest Camaro Performers. I'm jealous Anthony. I can't wait to see pics of it in your driveway.

[awr68]

Thanks guys for all the kind words! It's getting closer!

And if he 'stains' an outer hoop I hear Forgeline can help! :willy:

Congrats Tony,
I have been anxious to see where the project stood, I can't imagine how it must feel for you:D

Kevin, it's been a very exciting year to say the least! This journey has allowed me to make a lot of new friends and get to know many people in the business and hobby we love so much. And I get my dream car! I still get all fired up when I tell people the story about Karma and why it's 3k miles from home. People are amazed at all you guys have done for me and think is so cool that we have such a strong comunity here at L-g....and I couldn't agree more!! :lateral:

Pete, you and your crew have really gone the extra mile helping out like you have. :lateral:

Yes, they have!! And I truely hope they get the blessings they deserve!!

The new issue (January) is just hitting the streets and has a detailed story on the paint and buff/cut.

The next story after that is the glass from Prodigy Customs and electric windows from Electric Life. Then it's done with us until the feature once Tony has it all buttoned up.

[ItDoRun]

And if he 'stains' an outer hoop I hear Forgeline can help! :willy:

Looking good...what's the color again? :thumbsup:

It is a factory Ferarri color. I think it is called Georgio Silverstone.

[awr68]

Yep, the color is Ferrari Grigio Silverstone. It's a very nice color if you are going for a grey/gun metal look.

Pete has taken a fender outside and said it looks killer in the sun! :D

Karma's looking great Tony, keep up the awsome work Pete.:lateral:

I can't wait to come out riding with you guys

[gearheads78]

[DaveO]

Looks awesome Tony and Pete, can't wait to see it in person! Wonder if I'll change my mind again after deciding on Cyber Grey Metallic.:willy:

[waynieZ]

The car looks great. I need to get up there and see it. When I asked Pete if I could swing by and check it out, I got shoved in the hospital for a week. Hope it works out better next time I try to go up there.
Tony is that the smoked glass kit? It looks Great. Pete I love that blue 66 rag top.

[awr68]

Yes Wayne, it's the Prodigy smoked glass kit. I was very excited to use it as I wanted tinted glass but didn't want to deal with scratched film down the road....Frank uses tinted glass not film. It's not super dark....just right!

[radrambler]

It looks good..
i like the idea of smoked glass...looks great anthony.
love to see the car via Roberts camera.....Mcgaffin ya reading this?

Hey Pete Karma is looking really great! Happy holidays to you and the "crew" at the shop and home.:cheers:

Tony the glass looks great in your car. I have a set I bought from Chad at Fletchercustoms when he sold his project. I was worried it would be real dark and the police would hassle me about it.

Don't be a dick!

last time I checked page 104 the car had paint,

I have 2 projects and 2 kids to raise, along with loading Space Shuttles 5 times a year, so if I don't read every F'N post on Tonys car I get blamed for living under a rock!

Tony next time I'll just call. Steve

Pete still has to put the stripe on it and then reclear, cut and buff. He's also going to install the headliner and windshields for me. It's getting closer but there is still a ton of man hours to log!! Hopefully we will see more pics next week! :)

I have no doubt that the car is crazy nice in paint! When we visited it back in May it was assembled in primer and even then you could tell there had been a lot of love put into this special car!

Working with Pete and the guys at comp-spec has been a real treat! They are total pro's and I would have no problem at all sending other projects 3k miles to them!

And yes, I am a very lucky man!! :cheers:

I'm willing to bet that Tony sleeps like a baby these days.

Things are on hold due to some health issues with Pete's grandson. Tony will be the first to stand up and scream "Family First". It will be done when it's done and we all know Pete won't let it go till it's done right. At the moment we are all more concerned about the health and well being of Pete's grandson and his family than the paint on Karma.

Right on Doug..

I would have to agree 100% also that if anybody on this site deserves there project car done it would be tony and his patient wife who have been in the bad and now good of the hobby,most of us would have gave up along time ago,but again its the people in this hobby that makes it worth it,I can only imagine the happy day that it gets unloaded of in the driveway..100% finished!

Hang in there and keep the great updates coming...were all with you!

Thanks for the kind words guys! I am very excited to get it back, but as you all know it did get a little delayed when little CJ got very sick. He's doing much better now and Pete is back in the shop getting caught up. Hopefully we will be able to send the car home in the very near future!

Jim, Pete isn't building the car 100%, there will still be plenty to do when it hits the west coast! However, the bulk of the work will be behind up! 8+ yrs and counting....yep - it's a true 'project car'!! :lateral:

The last time I saw the car, which was about maybe October/November of last year, it was looking killer!!! (I haven't been to the shop in a loooonngg time.) The paint is sick, the bodywork is sick. Pete and Brian did some killer work on this car. :thumbsup:
I can't wait to see it when you finish it off as well Tony!!:thumbsup: :cheers:

[bigtyme1]

Haven't been on this post for a while. Pete are you going to Carlisle this year? Tony, still thinking about coming out but you know the drill, it depends on the Job situation. I'm enjoying the time off my car and trying to take advantage of it.
Though of you today. my son is joining cub scouts next week and he ask me about camping out over night, of course I said. as soon as we get the RV out! no tents for dad.:lol: Goint to look into a Large Pop up. Anyway, just thought I'd drop by to see how the car is coming. Looking great guys.

[awr68]

Mark you have to take the kids camping....it's great fun! Give me a call if you need some help RV shopping! :cheers:

[conekiller13]

R.V.ing is not camping........haven't you ever watched SurvivorMan? Now that's camping.

[96z28ss]

Is there any update on Karma?

[awr68]

Last I heard it was ready for the final round of paint....just waiting for the booth to be available for a few days in a row. Pete has had his guys block out all the clear, re-assemble the car to mask off the SS stripe, and they have spent many hours sanding all the little nooks and crannies on the bottom of the car, engine bay, and trunk....basically all the parts of the car that go GM satin black.

Pete and crew have put an insane amount of time into the project and are getting very close to the final paint and polish! :D

My car originally left two years ago on June 13th... I know it's been a long road for you my friend but it will all be worth it in the end! Just think about when you get it back from paint... how it's going to feel going out into the garage and seeing that perfect body and paint!! Think about how it's going to feel when you can open the garage door, ease into the seat, turn the key and idle it out of the driveway just before you NAIL IT!! :unibrow: Yeah, it will definately be worth the wait my friend!!!

Thanks to many generous members and sponsors here I was able to ship Pete the car. And a special thanks to Camaro Performers for using the car for tech articles...that got Pete (comp-spec) a lot of press...and he deserves every bit of it!

A person doesn't get to that level doing poor quality of work and I'm quite sure he nows what he is doing and doesn't need others telling him how to do the work and I'm also sure his quality of work will not chang with the price.

Greycamaro....

I read all the posts you added to this thread -- and I have no clue what you're talking about - or referring to - or what it is you're trying to add to this thread. I don't think anyone else here does either.

Have you actually read this thread? Do you understand that this car was done poorly - by a different shop (not Comp-Spec)... and that Comp-Spec took on the job of making it right (nobody cares what the arrangement is or isn't - doesn't matter to anyone except the car owner and the shop owner - we don't discuss that kind of stuff here).

Maybe back up and start over - and let us all know what you're trying to say - you've piqued my interest now.. :cheers:

[greycamaro]

yes, i have read the whole thread and do know that a chop shop did the prior work. I'll look for the post i was refering to(SEE POST 191), however someone stated that it looks like the car needs sanded to metal and I was stating that (whoever is doing the work now) he will know what to do to the car as he has the car in front of him, pictures don't always tell the story. His quality was not lowered to do the job.

As far as the arrangements I'm not interested in that area.QUOTE=GregWeld;292983]Greycamaro....

I here you but, by the time hes done replacing everything with Chinese stuff, the only thing USofA with be the bolts for the door hinges, :lol:

I'm just saying from a time management perspective......

[DOOM]

Greg, sounds like he'd have more time if he just buys a Dynacorn body :unibrow:

Al..................... Don't you start on me!!:P

[conekiller13]

So what's the latest?:willy:

[96z28ss]

I think Tony sold it!!

Yep Im starting rumors untill we get an update and pics. Its long over due.

[awr68]

Pete told me the other day that he's in the final stretch and taking care of all the details that make all the differance in the end. He should be finished with his part of the build later this month and sending it home! I have to talk to the transporter and get a pick-up date finalized. It's close!! :D

FWIW, Pete's holding out on pics until it's finished and rolled out into that East Coast Sun for the final WOW! He's not even sending me teasers!! :willy:

I'm pretty sure I would be shot dead if it had been sold!! The only person I would sell it to at this point in time would be Pete....he has A LOT invested into Karma....and that is a HUGE understatement!! :yes:

[GregWeld]

Sold what.... never heard of it.

[bigtyme1]

It won't be long, Can't wait to see it.

[rwhite692]

Man, not even sending you some teaser shots, that's just cruel! :D

[Flash68]

[tones2SS]

I really need to stop by the shop to see the guys and the car!! I haven't been down there in a long time. Last time I saw it, it look great! And Pete said it wasn't even done yet. I was pretty amazed actually, the way it was when I last saw it. Pete and his guys are awesome, not just in building these machines, but for what he's doing for Tony and the pro-tour/lateral-g community!:lateral: :thumbsup: :cheers:

[awr68]

Tony and Wayne, you guys should schedule some time to see Pete and Brian...and Karma! I don't quite have a ship date for him yet....but I'm working on that! :cheers:

Thats great news Tony I'm happy for you.

I planned on getting down there this past week, but a couple of bridges on Interstate Route 93 had huge holes appearing in the roadway, and traffic that side of Boston (which I have to drive through) was impossible. It was even making the secondary roads almost unpassable with gridlock also.

Hopefully that stuff is all fixed this week so I can make it down there. Maybe even on Monday or Tuesday
