well any updates or pics

I think he is afraid to call and ask He can't handle too much more disappointment.

Ian,

I sure hope you get your buggy soon, then all the problems it's given you will disapear the frist time you get to drive it

not a word, I didnt want to call and hear the bad news, I am too busy dealing with other bad news right now, I can only handle one disappointment at a time.

I hope it looks up for ya

still going to be right down to the wire, but I know that if it is possible Justin will make it happen, its all about hurry up and wait, I should know by Tues/Wed for sure, they were waiting on the console and trans to get back from paint, but hopefully they got that yesterday, and will install Mon/Tues, leaving panels (if they are done) and trim Tues/Wed then take delivery on Wed/Thurs, the rest of the money is going into the account to cover the check tomorrow just in case, and I am also pulling the trailer out of storage just in case.

i hope you get it maybe you can hook me up with a ride

I think I can do that, I should know a little more by tomorrow, but never the less I will at least by riding the quad, probably going out Tues the 28 mid day until Sunday, depends on when the rest of the crew are going out.

I hope your buggy is done soon

I am hoping to take delivery on the weekend of the 8th so it will all be broken in by the 15th, I will talk to Justin tomorrow to see how things are looking, I can tell he is just as frustrated as I am. its been a race over the last 2 months between if we move or get the buggy first, every time I am supposed to get the car, we are scheduled to move and both get cancelled. kinda funny if you think about it.

I hope it all falls into place soon

i am sure it will, good things come to those who wait, so next year should be awesome for both the wife and I

My fingers are crossed for ya

much appreciated. I really want to know how the graphics are turning out, going to try and bribe Justin to send me a pic when he gets the panels.

I hope justin has good news for you today

I talked to Justin on Sat. and he said the console got back from paint on Thurs. so hopefully they can start the wiring today, and finish it by the weekend. I am going to call him in a little bit.

Can't wait to see it.

neither can I, I am hoping to bribe someone out there to snap a pic or two for me.

Is Justin to busy to take any?

last time he left his camera in his moho so Doug took some for me, I have yet to talk to him today, so I will see if he remembered this time.

Can't wait to see some pics

more issues came up with paint today, guess he was sniffing too many fumes or something, hopefully the paint will be done by next Tues for a Thurs/Fri delivery.

Damn this buggy is starting to sound like a dream.

A dream to drive for this wait. I can only imagine the frustration you are feeling right now, but I will be experiencing it soon. Just ordered my frame.

Not anything like yours, but will be fun. Beam front 15" travel all around.

hopefully this dream comes true before the 14th im tired of riding my quad and lettin the car sit so damnit finish the car!

Well I am not going to the desert with out the car, so if it aint done, I aint going, simple as that.

Ian,
I was at Revenge today and saw your car.....the powdercoat color looks great.

thanks sand, I like the color too, it is pretty unique, Justin named it blurple, cuz thats what it is, it aint blue and it aint purple its blurple.

thanks JWB, that is the only thing that is keeping me sane through all this is that I KNOW it will be worth the wait, my buddy loves his predator so I know I will love mine, I just wish the painter would do what he said he would do, that is the ONLY thing stopping the car from being done.

hey ian what kind of trans and motor did you go with that thing looks sweet i cant wait till i finish mine it should be out for the cleanup mines only a chenowth ginnisis

Bad A$$ color. Looks sweet

Eric- Ian is busy moving today , but I am pretty sure he got the LS1 motor and the Fortin Trans. I will be sure to tell him you asked. And thanks Lucky, I love the color too.

Ian's Wife

I think he's running a redline 510HP LS1 with a Fortin (just like what his wife said)

yup, you got it right. 510 LS1, and Standard Fortin. Thanks for all the compliments, I really appreciate them.

so where is it

well I got a couple pics of the center console yesterday, and it looks pretty good, I am having trouble opening them with the right program to shrink them down so I can post, and since 1/2 our stuff is here in the rental, and we are living in our new place, we are just a little mixed up, but hopefully our internet will be at the new house soon, along with the rest of our stuff, and things will calm down, the rain is wreaking havoc on us, since we are moving everything ourselves and have open trailers it would get ruined if we moved while it was raining, so as soon as it stops, there will be some long days to get this place cleaned up. but will try and post as much as I can.

Congrats again Ian......that things is incredible. WHere abouts is your new place? I am in Escondido area and work in Poway. If I can be of any help with moving let me know.

Gee thanks midpinto, it sure is nice of you to offer to help. We moved out to the boonies of Santa Ysabel, between Ramona and Julian. So far we have managed to get everything moved ourselves, depspite the rain. Hopefully it will all let up tomorrow and we can get the rest of our stuff. Ian won't be getting his car this weekend , so we should be able to get it done. Thanks again for the offer.

Ian's Wife Robin

No problem at all.......The area you are moving to is great my sister lives in Ranchita. She also works at the Santa Ysabel fuel stop, she's the little red head behind the counter be prepared to have her talk your ear off if you say hi though.

Well if I ever get gas there, I will be sure to say hi Where is Ranchita?

Right off of the S2 just beyond Henshaw

Ohhhh, OK, I am still learning my way around up there.

So ian, what the update? Did the pinter finally pull his head outta his ass and get your $hit done?

well painter number 4 got the stuff yanked from him last week, and I am glad, it was so not what I wanted, so Friday it all went to painter #5 (Deano's custom painting), they are going to start stripping off the shitty work that G Force Graphix did, and start laying primer this week, and on Thurs or Friday I am meeting with Deano and going over what I want, he should be laying paint by Friday or Monday, and should take about 2-3 weeks, then to final assembly to best case senerio I should get it in about a month. thats about the jist of it.

me either, it has kind of been a blessing in disguise, I came out with a way better tranny, and a much better paint job than if I would have got it on time, so other than the wait, it has been worth it.

Deano.....That is the name of a very famous tattoo artist....Deano Cook. Could it be???

not sure, but his website is www.custompaint.com or www.custompainting.com, he does some killer work.
