Thank you! That's a giant thanks. Jeff is amazing and there are no words to truly describe our gratitude. It was like he knew what was in our minds and made it happen. Not only did the paint turn out better than we could've hoped for, but Jeff went above and beyond every step of the way. My advice is do whatever it takes to get your car to Da Bat. Most importantly, listen when he tells you your idea stinks (he'll say it nicer than that), but I can admit he was right every single stinking time. Thanks!

Giant thank you also to David and his son, Grant. We appreciate everything. You drove all the way out here and put up with the heat to help with the windshield and lights and then you even took video and photos. Yay!

Thanks to Derrick who also drove all the way over here and made breakfast for everyone. It was delicious and I can't wait to dice some onions. Thank you!

Lastly, thanks to the others that came out to be a part of Scoopy's homecoming. We love our new Factory Five family.

It sounds like a speech at the Oscars. Sorry! Just can't get over how wonderful everyone is. Thanks guys! Love you Scoopy!

Very nice color scheme. It Looks Great!

You guys are so fortunate to have Jeff on the Left Coast and you made a wise decision to go to him.

Be careful when you’re working on that engine.

Jack

it helped also that he is only about a 1/2hr away from us. Really great guy and spent the time to make sure it was right. Almost felt like we were taking advantage of him

thanks for the comments, we just stare at it every night. Still cant believe this machine is sitting in our garage!
