Thanks for the good wishes everyone. Now a question, what's the etiquette on revealing a stage 3 build to one's wife . . . .

Your car? Your money?

Buy her something nice, then while she is still happy tell her

Take her for a ride after you take delivery. Destination? Jewelry store.
You may not want to demonstrate how fast the car is until you're on your way home...or you could just take it easy and not risk having to clean the passenger seat.

What can I say AB, you had me pegged!

Now I sit here on NYE (sick as a dog with a stupid sinus thing, defiantly drinking anyway while my wife puts the kids to bed), I have thankful thoughts for my forum compatriots for guiding my car to it's soon-to-be bold rebirth. Visions of flaming exhaust and tires spinning dance in my head.

Happy New Year!

Joe

Renowned CARdiologist Dr. Kevin successfully completed my baby's 10-valve bypass surgery and I must say, she's looking good!

These are the first finished pics I've seen and I've got to say, you guys out did yourselves. I love how clean the build looks, everything fits right to me and nothing looks out of place. All the connections and welds look great.

For anyone else considering UGR for a build, I'll vouch that their communication with the customer is top notch. There wasn't a single time during the build when I thought to myself "I wonder what's going on, I haven't heard from those guys." I always knew where things were, when pieces were finished, and got plenty of update pictures, calls, emails, text messages. Sending my car out of state was probably my biggest concern when I was considering vendors and UGR did not let me down.

I'm excited to see the dyno numbers and am looking forward to getting some good seat time. Thanks to all you guys who answered questions for me about your own cars on the forums and in PMs and thanks again to UGR for a great build experience.

Joe
