WOW! First, thank you for taking your time out on a Sunday to post these pics. Everything looks awesome. You made my day! I love it all, the valve cover pcv system, boost solenoid/controller mounting, battery in the trunk, vacuum line routing, new pass. side front inner fender well, radio delete face plate with the boost controller and water temp gauge, nice touch! Well worth the wait!
Brian, you do awesome work! Thanks! I can't wait to see more!:cool:

Nice! I gotta call Jack tomorrow so he can put my car on the phone.:D

[trbochrgd1]

Well, I heard the car today.... WOW! I have never heard a GN sound like that. It really does sound awesome, has a real nasty exhaust note to it. Especially when you crack the throttle. Jack, you sure you didn't start the Pumpkin up?;):D

Wow! That is a tremendous amount of work! Not only did you have to cut the old bar out, you guys had to take everything out of the trunk! Oh man! You were right Jack, it is absolutely beautiful. I can't stop lookin' at the pics. Can't wait to see it in person. I really can't thank you guys enough for all the hard work and craftsmanship you are putting into my build. I really do appreciate it!:D

[whitecobra98]

i saw it today..definitely a class job..i say keep the plastic on it..makes it different:)

[bfurches]

the pics do no justice for that cage. The roof bars and the loop are tucked up so tight.

...if it's not the fastest on pinks at least it will have the sickest cage :)

[BrianHynes]

Absolutely awsome Guy's!!!!! I love the way you tucked the rear bars through the package tray, and the way everything is pushed to the limits for that neat, unobstructed, can't notice it's there look. KUDO's!!!!!! Someday, when my brain overcomes my heart, I'll know where to go.

[trbochrgd1]

Jack, you think we can shoot for a Friday pickup?

[TurboBabe]

Jack, just made it home!:eek:
Gotta go to bed..... I'll post more later......

[BrianHynes]

So she's home? :)

[trbochrgd1]

So she's home? :)


OH yeah! I havn't gotten outside yet to oogle at it again. Been crazy with the kids this morning. The pictures definetly do not do it justice. The cage is beautiful. Truely. I can't be happier about it. I took Jack for a quick spin around the block and we both sheet our pants! I didn't even bring it up a 1/4 throttle in 2nd gear and it was out of control. It's not even tuned yet. Turbo spools up ridiclously fast. It's going to the body shop on Monday, they will re-shoot it. As soon as I get it back we will most likely bring to Lebanon Valley to get tuned. Hopefully you can make it down for that. I can't stop smiling as I am typing!

Jack, just wanted to thank yourself, Brian, Adam and Gerry (he puts up with me on the phone all the time:eek:) for all the work and effort you put into the car again. Also thanks for lunch, and for all the kids toys! :)

[BrianHynes]

Gabe and I would love to meet up @ the Valley. Try and give me as much advanced notice as possible.

[JCotton1]

Mike, thanks for your patience.... we still have lots to do here for our organization, I think I have the right people in place w\just need to iron out the details. I love the Grand Pritional... that car has all kinds of potential. I'm hangin out here now, doing a little paperwork, getting the next 3 cars ready to go before someone shoots me.. Can't wait to get more cars out of here and feel like I have a little control over what is going on here.. someday.. :)

[BrianHynes]

Jack, did you find me some XFI pins?

[JCotton1]

Thanks! They can't get here soon enough. :)

We are thinking last week in June. I am not sure of Jack's schedule but I will try to give you the heads up this week.

No problem, seems like your headed in the right direction. Getting Brian someone else was a huge step in the right direction. Adam looks to be a huge help, and he is constantly moving, and looking to get something done. He was definelty a good pick up. Also from talking to him he has a good head on his shoulders. Now I just got to quit my job at the dealer and come up to work with you guys!:p

I can't wait for you guys to do something with the Grand Pritional! (I should have scraped that sticker off the back window:eek:) It definelty does have some huge potential. I will try to find some more pics of it. I have alot of video's of it too. It's on 8mm tapes. There's gotta be a way to convert that over.

[BrianHynes]

Mike, I'm attending a graduation on the 28th. Do you know what day you are shooting for? or will you be there the whole weekend?

[BrianHynes]

Does the Grand Prix have a new home @ Jacks?

We still need to have another BARBIE!!!! Maybe @ the Valley? :D

[trbochrgd1]

Mike, I'm attending a graduation on the 28th. Do you know what day you are shooting for? or will you be there the whole weekend?

We are celebrating our daughters 1st birthday on the 29th. I was thinking of the 28th. Or maybe its better on a wendsday night. This month is crazy I have a Police convention in A/C the week of the 23rd, Sesame Place the 19th and 20th, a concert the 21st. Now that I am thinking about it, I think I am just going to get the hood, front bumper and windows back in and get to the track as soon as we can. Maybe this up coming Saturday the 14th.

Does the Grand Prix have a new home @ Jacks?

We still need to have another BARBIE!!!! Maybe @ the Valley? :D

Yes! The Grand Prix's new home is at Cotton's. Jack and Brian really liked the car. I think in no time there will be a motor and trans in that bad boy. Many of guys got lumped up with that car on the street.:eek: And after it happened they always tried to catch up and ask "what do ya got in there." I would just smile and say "it's just a V6!":D

Alot of people saying that. Can't wait till I am saying that too! Very nice pics Jack, you have a real talented crew up there. I don't think that enough can be said. I am sure everyone agrees, Team Cotton's Performance is the best. Glad my car is in your hands. By the way, how is the Black Widow? I still have some pieces to send or bring up there. Just waiting for the new registration card, to go with the new insurance card.

Ya baby....... you're coming along, we are actually finishing up a bunch of cars with tuning. Your motor is finally "really" at RPE..... hopefully we will see it back here sometime in July, we plan to have you ready for Aug-Sept.. I'll be getting into getting the chassis and "electrical stuff" ready in the meantime... For now, it's tuning and Martian from Canadas car this week....

[trbochrgd1]

Jack, how does this Saturday the 14th look for you for the Valley?

[JCotton1]

Jack, how does this Saturday the 14th look for you for the Valley?

Mike, if the Valley will have us.... I'll make it happen...

[trbochrgd1]

Nice! I just got my hood transported up from the bodyshop. I will get the bumper,hood and glass installed this week. I checked the weather should be partly cloudy @80°. Does it get packed quick there? We are going to be bringing the kids up. I see they open at 8 am.

[BrianHynes]

Saturday's a go! The Pumpkin's commited, and I'll be there by 10 am.

[trbochrgd1]

Jack, this maybe a silly question but, what oil should I be using? I want to change it before Saturday. Also do they have VP at the track? I just picked up to 2,5 gallon containers. $170.00:eek:

[waGoN]

Last time we were at the track, C16 was $11.??/gallon, but he said the next shipment was going to be higher. That was a few weeks ago, but I'll bet it is still cheaper than what you paid.

[trbochrgd1]

Thanks! I got everything on the car except for the hood. Car looks awesome. I will take some pics in the morning. We can't wait for Satuday. I took it for a couple 1-2 shift blasts up the street. Feels incredible! Anyone else headed up to the Valley on Saturday?
