Well Im still at work...just about to go home for the holidays, but Im sure (tim) already knows that....lol

Anyway here is a x-mas present pic for the GTO boys. Also some pics of the other stuff that some people are waiting on from me.

The first pic is Turbogoats kit which I still have not got a chance to try it on the mock-up car. He wont bring it up here b/c of the rain. He dont drive it unless its really nice out. If he dont bring it up soon I will weld on your WG flanges and ship it out next week and go from there.


The next pic is a kit that was cancelled by a customer. Its all in the jig and needed to be welded some more. I stopped on that kit to get the other orders of f-body products out.


INSANGTO your kit is still at the coaters. I never said they had it done yet. If there not done with it by next week I will finish this kit thats in the jig up for you and ship it out.I will just keep the other kit at the coaters for stock when its done.

I also have other sets of headers for the GTO kits ready for more orders as seen in the 3rd pic.


This pic is of the T6 crossovers and 3.5" DP for the 3 F-body kits that were sent out a couple of weeks ago. They have everything but these parts and expansion tanks etc.



Next is a pic of the one side of the shop where all the building takes place. I thought I would share my home in the little red chair with you all.

Out of curiosity....what brand of welder do you use fo the stainless or alloy work ??

 

wOW Marry X-Mas to you too Joel. I had a long talk with Brains so any issues I have are over.

You just gave me a boost thats for sure. I can not wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am 100% sure you will have the other GTO kits sold

 

Pictures look good

So assuming I get my hot parts next week, what else comes with that? just whats in the picture? turbo too?
and then
Honestly when do you think will I get the rest of the parts so I have a complete kit?

 

Joel, the list is very much appreciated. I hope you have a great christmas and things start looking up for you.

I think the most important thing you can do is just be honest and realistic about delivery dates. People would much rather hear the truth about where their kit is in the production process regardless of how behind it might be then to be misled and keep getting the delivery date pushed farther and farther and farther back.

I really think you are doing you best but man you got to get someone in there to help you get these things rolling. I know you are depending on unreliable outsourcing to meet delivery dates but I also think alot of your estimated delivery dates were very unrealistic to begin with.

Anyway, I hope this all gets much better for you and I will try to exercise as much patience as possible.

 

Joel, super nice! Thanks for the pictures and the updates! I hope you have a great (and relaxing) Christmas with your family.

 

Joel, all of the pictures look amazing, you truly do great work. Thanks for updating everyone and I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New year.

 

looking good... guys

 

I will save the mods the trouble and edit this myself.

 

Excellent Joel, I'm sure everyone appreciates the PICS Have a Merry Christmas ! (Get some rest )

 

I was nice about this at first, but I asked you to avoid posting about this drama. Then you made yet another post. I don't care if you edited it, you were instructed to avoid it. Banned.

 

Looks like Lincoln...

 

I opened my wonderful Christmas present this morning

Kit looks great Joel! I can't wait to get it on the car. Keep up the good work!

 

Gave up on the QMP kit? Which OFI kit did you get?

 

Cool thing Tiff. I will have to check out yours. I talked to branis about that last week and I knew you would like it too!

 

So what size Turbo did you go with, what IC did you get, and what size DP did you get. Good deal on the kit, keep us posted on the install. And of course any pics would be sweet.

 

She's basically replacing the hot side of the log-style kit, with Joel's manifold style. The cracking every time the log got hot is getting old... The turbo will still be a T76 Q-trim, .96 A/R (switching from on-center to tangential housing), ball bearing. Intercooler is a 3" core OBX. Downpipe is 3 inch.

Thanks again Joel, you made me a promise to deliver it for Xmas, and while it was right down to the wire you didn't let me down

I'll post up pics in a few minutes, I'm off to take them right now

 

Looking forward to the pics. Why the switch of housings? Because of the new hotparts fitment?
Thank,
David K. Wilson

 

Cracking issues with the log... Tiff got fed up with the dumptruck sound

Here's pics of the new OFI hot parts

 

I like those headers.... hmmmm..

HOw much of a pain is it gonna be to check plugs?
