Default Design Paul Champagne -A public Thank You- PICS ADDED!

Today I picked up Paul and Linda from BWI airport to our shop to pick up their ol' girl after 3 long, intense months of modifying and customizing and painting their one- of- a-kind 88' shark. The car is truly beautiful inside and out now, I will miss having her at the shop as the car was good for business, everybody loved it. I'm sure Paul will initiate a thread with all the pics and details for those interested soon. Rick and I really enjoyed doing the "ChampagneProject", not to mention the wives are glad our late nights are done for awhile!
The main reason for this thread is they brought me today the most beautiful custom console I could have ever imagined. The craftsmanship on this piece is world class and looks like it came out of a Maybach, Bentley, or Aston. I was truly taken aback when he showed it to me. It is a one-off piece that he had designed just for my 928. I have seen his work in pics (and here at the shop!) as most of you have, but seeing it in person, the pics don't do the work justice. My seats and other pieces will be here soon ,and when they are I will post pics. This is just a public thank you to the Champagne's and to say that if you want your 928 to be the best it can be, you will not find better work any where , at any price.
Kevin

I can't WAIT to see your work on this Kevin! Paul also told me of all the work he has planned for its interior and I can't wait to see that as well...

Also, Kevin I know you have or will soon have some Champagne interior in YOUR awesome 928 and I can't wait to see pics of that as well! Looks like a wonderful Christmas all the way around!

Hey James! Yeah man, my seats and door cards are on their way I can't wait to post the pics when I get them installed. I have been showing everybody the console today. I am also very excited to see what Paul does with his interior next.

What no pics YET!!! Kevin you can't put up a post like this without having pics of the console and his car!

Judging by what I have seen in the past from Paul and yourself I can't wait to see the pics.

Very cool when Rennlisters swap skills to make both of their 928's even better.

I'm also really looking forward to seeing both cars Kevin. I've seen yours not looking so good on the inside and Paul's not looking so good on the outside. It's about time to see the completed projects!!!

How's the 959 going?
