Default It begins...

Dropped her off today:



As I get pics while it's being worked on I'll update. Mod list is up in my "garage" on the forum!

I'd have taken pictures from my tour of the shop but they had a lot of dev projects and high profile stuff so I wasn't allowed any. I will say this: it's the man's version of ***** Wonka's chocolate factory! Super cool place and lots of good people cranking away on some very neat things. Definitely enjoyed that, and the 19hr drive through the mid west to get there lol.

So, are you going to stay in the shop or camp out in the parking lot?

Yea I figured if I hang out in front of their shop long enough they'll be forced to hook me up with a sweet deal on a package install short of that I'll buy a ridiculously overpriced ticket at the tiny airport and fly home.. Not sure which sounds more fun

Nice. You should enjoy that tons. Let us know how you like the finished product. Maybe with some of the profits, they can buy a lift.

I was thinking similar as I looked over the pics. Poster drover from Austin to take his car to LPE for the install??? Shoot, he could of simply come up I-10 to Katy and came to my garage - I/we could of knocked it out in a weekend. I would of cut you a deal - 50% off whatever LPE charged you

The op is excited about his build. Why not either be happy for him or say nothing.

Relax...Jodi. I'm sure the OP values my opinion as much as I value yours.

I'm as relaxed as can be. Too many smart asses around to get excited about another one. Nothing more boring than a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent. Have a nice night trolling forums.

Don't give a ***** about your opinion so you're good silver bullet

They do have several lifts, but they're also doing a ton of builds - frankly I don't really care, what does it matter how my car stays up in the air? It doesn't the only thing that matters is the build and quality of the work which is top notch!

Also I probably could've gone local and saved myself time (and maybe a little bit of money) but when I was a kid I wanted a Lingenfelter. It was and is THE name for Corvette. Don't get me wrong here, there are a few other great shops that have popped up but Lingenfelter is the one I've always known and wanted.

Was just joking about the lift. I figured they have plenty. Always smart to go with the shop that you think you can trust. It is not all about price.
