Outstanding! Congrats Lew! Enjoy it forever.



Geez Dano, they haven't even had it for a week, including the weekend. Pretty cheeky for a couple of CSX owners--the prisoners in Utah take their time and do it right.

Dan,

I was working on a list of things to do on your car today. I really need to know how far you want us to go with the car. Do you want it to look like Jamo's? Do you want the latest and greatest suspension? Do you just want a few cool upgrades? Let me know and I will make it happen.

Lew,

Your car is really looking nice. Can be picked up any time now.

Jamo,

We are actually really quick...once we get the go ahead to start that is...hee hee hee. So, have you gotten Turk back yet? I understand you may be coming back for a few upgrades...you won't believe what we have up our sleeve now.

David

I know you're quick...I just think owners of SAI replicas of Kirkhams ought to have to wait at the back of the room. And don't give Dano two pit stripes...one and one-half will do.

Yup...me thinks after we get U2's taken care of, I'll hustle mine back there a week or so before the Kirkham cruise (September?) and we'll see what's in store. Very happy with the beauty now--she performed magnificently when called upon at the Fling, and shame on you for not getting back there.

Yeah David,
Jamo's car looked so good. It was hard to tell it from the real ones out there.

As for the work being done on CSX4148, make sure you keep two separate tabs. This ain't the neighborhood bar. I am NOT buying.
Put everything on Semko's tab.

TURK

How did the staff like seing a REAL COBRA at the plant? I bet it made their day.

You gonna take this crap? Oh well, I guess it takes the boys in Provo to bring it up to original standards. The guys like a challange.

Lew, congrats on the car, Rich Lacey is dropping mine off in the morning(7-03-03).

David, I don't think that KMS should work on real Cobras. With SAI's reputation and quality control having CSX cars around your shop will diminish the Kirkham brand.

What's this about separate tabs, Turk? You said that David and Tom were like family and that they were also finishing CSX4308.
I should have known something was up when Tom was drooling over the 930. You sandbaggers!

David, be sure the stripes are nicer than Jamo's but with a special flair! I did notice that when Jamo's car launched it always listed towards the right side whereas when Turk's car launched it was straight as an arrow. The difference between being Turkish and being Armenian! As the song says "We are f a m i l y ! "
Don't forget the manufacturers plate and BOTH of your signatures where I suggested.
Jamo, is your car autographed? Didn't think so!

We don't mind working on other's cars. Not that big of a deal.

I am still working on the tab deal.

As for cool upgrades...I'll keep you all updated. Still running the experiments.

Jamo,
Please autograph the back aluminum panel in the trunk behind the seats. I'd be honored!

Talking Real Cobras

Turk asks the question:
How did the staff like seing a REAL COBRA at the plant? I bet it made their day.

Hey Turk,
The staff gets to look at a REAL COBRA everyday since there is a certain blue with white stripes Cobra sitting in the shop all the time except for when it is out at events. Why would they think a 4000 series car would be special?
