Permanent Waves

Permanent Waves

This gal came to us after over a year of methodical planning by her owner. At the onset he was encouraged to envision believing that everything is possible and even more so that even though one's path may appear to be the same as another's it is the subtle often not noticed differences that insure that each path traveled remains unique. In time this personal project was defined; not that we knew what was to be completed at this time but rather what will be completed in time hence phases were defined. Even today the considerations within the phases are subject to change in fact some have changed and yet the phases have created a road map of sorts and a place to reflect upon.

This brings me to this project's reference; in this an unusual case it is not how this gal is referred to akin to a nick name but rather what this gal represents as a part of this owner's life; "Permanent Waves".

The term "Permanent Waves" came to him by way of a favorite music album of his; the song name hence the term "Permanent Waves" captures a state of mind, a way of life, or more accurately, a way of standing out from a crowd. "Permanent Waves" is all of that and more. In this case, starting with an Iconic car that stands out in its own right, tastefully modified in subtle ways and to personalize and upgrade it's already prodigious capabilities to make it unique among the already unique. It's mission; to be "Permanently Making Waves".

Phase One
Here she is a reflection of "Permanent Waves" being introduced the facility as this phase of the project is being defined and soon to commence.

Phase Two
With her valve covers being powder coated we are now able to tend to portions of this project that we can complete in house.

Phase Three
We have the valve covers back from being powder coated as such we will begin the methodical process of sealing her heart. We also have received numerous other OEM pieces so we are able to proceed with the integration of the Penske suspension system and also install the stunning Whipple supercharger.

Phase Four

Phase Five

Phase Six

Phase Seven

Phase Eight

Phase Nine
We are on the proverbial "home stretch" with the day that this gal is able to be exercised ever so close.

Phase Ten
We are very close to loading her new custom street tune and then bringing her to life however before we do so there are a few more detail and personal touch items to tend to.

Phase Eleven
We are now in the final phase of this project with everything that remains requiring extreme attention to detail. Initially we will wash, clay bar, and wax her and the Evan will perform his artisan skills as he methodically wraps her high risk painted surfaces with Venture Shield.

Brought to Life
Here is one of the most exciting part of the project; this being when we have brought her to life and are able to confirm that all of her systems operate as designed and that she is happy. This test run was flawless with all systems on line and operating as designed and her making it very clear that she is happy and ready to be exercised.

Here on this "early" cool morning with her owner rested and her ready to be exercised they are rolling out as the long journey home is about to commence. There is no doubt that both are happy and that the journey will be wonderful.
