without the help of some major players who helped me in the bottom of the ninth inning so to speak, this would not have been possible. a huge thanks goes out to the boys at speed factory in wa. after talking with matt and ricky they decided to jump on board and take care of the manifold for the new car. we tryed to send everything up to them to do in house at there facilty but they were unaware that they would have to murder someones radiator support to do the fab work neccessary. so after looking around for some plane tix we were lucky to find a fairly priced ticket to oakland on the 24th of oct. one week befroe i left for sema! the car came back from paint on the 25th or a least the body! so after a little bit of prep work ricky got started on the manifold, traction bar, dumps, and down pipe. with a bit of help from our buddy christian the worked throught the night and 1.5 days later we had this stuff!
some pics of the powder coating! and some of the skunk 2 suspension!
[and finally some pictures of lisa sitting in her car for the first time! these are the pics take at sema one week later!

This is by far the hardest and fun project i have ever done! i am proud to be the owner of such an awesome car and team! but i will say shaving a bay sucks but the hard work sure pays off! i want to thank my budy Cory Shaw for all the help with the bay!
And we cant forget our machinist Earl Ward who helps me assemble and degree all of our motors due to me being the one guy with 10 jobbed to do at one time! Earl is not only a bad ass machinist but also a true friend!
we have so many people to thank for so much this year and years passed! but i really can think that far ahead right now! but for now Mfactory we are blessed for the oppourtunity to be in your booth and to share a partnership that we hope to keep forever! Stephan you are one of a kind and i will always remember the first time i was able to have my car spotlighted in the sema show!
