Update... Went to Atlanta today to check on the car and take a few parts out there. The car of course is in its ugly state with better days to come soon. The wheels will arrive next week. Once they do the fender work the car can go into the paint booth.

As I said before no more lambos doors. As you can see that part of the build has already been completed.

Not quite a test fit but consider it a teaser of things to come with the addition of the Vertex kit.

Looking like a great work in progress Mark. Glad our convo helped you hold off and get it done once.

What shop in Atlanta is doing all your work? Why did you decide to go with that particular shop? You live in AL correct? Even though I know Alabama is close since I go to Birmingham every week for work...

I was still on a high after finding out about the wheels. So imagine my surprise when I got home and found this at the door.

My package had arrived from none other than Mr. Vip'd Out (aka James Church). From what I understand I am one of the first to have one of his custom tables. Also included was a muscle cut t-shirt which I need to lose about 40 pounds to wear and a rack of business cards. I am really happy with the table and I think it will look great in my GS.

Yeah I know its backwards in these pics... will take some more later.

Yeah I have autographs from Emmitt Smith, Troy Aikman, Barry Sanders, Marshall Faulk and even Earl Campbell among others. Now I can add the signature of the soon world famous James Church to my collection.

James thanks for all of the advice and time we have spent chatting. I wish you much success with your business.
