Jagarangs Surprise

[ProdigyCustoms]

It is with great pleasure I announce that this year’s Prodigy Customs 2006 SEMA show car is indeed, “Eternity”! (Jagarang) Kevin Newcomer’s Badd Ass 69 Firebird! Like many of us Kevin has pretty much dreamed about some day having a car at “the big show”. Kevin and I talked about it, and Steve from Twist Machine had honored us by asking if we could display Eternity as his feature car at SEMA 2006. BTW, thanks Steve.

Here’s the cool part, this story has a special twist. Kevin really did not have the dollars in his budget to get the car from Florida to Las Vegas after the build picked his pocket clean. There was no way he could justify the cost of the trip with his wife and family, and I SWORE I would not haul another one out there this year! So as of a week ago it looked like a no go for SEMA.

It was last week though, I received a call from the most unlikely of suspects looking to do something special as Kevin’s Eternity comes to a end. Now we all know how “the wives” feel about these toys of ours. Many do not understand our infatuation or the moneys spent on………well…you know…. These stupid CARS! Kevin’s wife Maria was thought to have fallen into the same category.

Last week some of you may have seen I announced on the boards that Prodigy Customs would be taking another car to SEMA this year and that a unidentified benefactor had come forward to cover the expenses of getting “the yet to be announced” secret car to the show. Kevin saw the post and even called to see whose car it was. I gave him a line of crap about it being someone else’s car. He sounded disappointed. I am sure he was secretly hoping it was Eternity. I am 100% certain that he could have never have guessed WHO the benefactor could be if it were to be his car.

So, big drum role,

Damn this is cool!

Kevin, Maria is the unidentified benefactor that is financing your SEMA trip!!!

And BTW, if this plays out right, she should be right over your shoulder, you better jump and up and squeeze her!

And Kevin, I know I lied to you yesterday. I hated it. I am sorry, but hopefully it is all worth it now.

And thank you Kevin for choosing prodigy Customs to build such a killer car.

So now guys, go tell your Wives, TOP THIS!

Sincerely,

Frank, Lisa and Michael Serafine

[Bill Howell]

I knew about this play by play Kevin. In fact, I told Frank yesterday the bad thing would be if you lined up a hauler before they spilled the beans on the surprise.:lmao:

I am so glad it is all working out and yes, what a deal, your car at SEMA is one of the most exciting things you can do as a car guy.
Now, add the surprise of your wife doing all this to make it happen and WOW you should feel on top of the world right now. Things are not always as they seem, remember that.

So, congratulations and we will see you there, AT SEMA, and try to help you enjoy the moment.:git:

[dhardison]

Kevin, can my wife come over and get lessons from your wife on how to treat a "car guy"?????? :naughty:

Congrats to both Kevin and Frank!

[trapin]

Congratulations Kevin. It's going to take you a lifetime to pay her back.

Knock em dead out there!

[BADVELLE]

Your wife is awesome, congrats, I hope to see the car in November!

[BonzoHansen]

A big WOO-HOO to Maria!

That is going to cost you Kevin! :razz:

[mustanggirl1967]

[datsbad]

CONGRATS, KEVIN .

What booth will it be in ?

[TonyL]

Awesome Kevin, you lucky bastrid.

[ProdigyCustoms]

Jason, It is Twist Machines feature vehicle

[Steve Chryssos]

It's a great car. The wheels have the perfect look, the interior is thoroughly detailed and there is something special about the fact that it is a Firebird instead of a Camaro.

Twist will be in booth 22594, but the car will be placed on the show floor. Last year we made damn sure that Howell's GTO was placed front and center--right outside the front doors of the convention center. (See attached pic) We bent some rules to make that happen. We'll make every effort do the same this year with Kevin's car.

Thank you Kevin and Maria as well as Prodigy Customs for helping us represent Twist Machine with such a great car. We owe you one.

[69Nova]

Congratulations Kevin.

[ACEFOOTER]

Glad to see that bad *** FireBird is going to SEMA Kevin, CongradulationS!!!

[CarlC]

How cool is that!

There's a lot of class being shown here.

Awesome! I can't wait to see this '69 Bird in person. I think a Bird may be my next project.

[Neil B]

Awesome. That's the way it should be. There's nothing better than achieving your dreams with the support of your wife.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Another six months to see the finished 1-2-3-4-5 year project.

[trapin]

I'm sure it's going to be fantastic. Frank and Co. do incredible work. If I only lived closer to Orlando, I would have weaseled my car into their shop months ago.

[ProdigyCustoms]

Bad news though Tony. It is going to make me mis Woodward.

[trapin]

Hey...business before pleasure...right? LOL!!!

Well...that's a bummer. Anyone else bailing? How about Steevo?

[Whistler]

I can't wait to see the Firebird done. Looks awesome so far!
