Ok, so we get the call that KONIG wants us to pimp one of our cars out and put it in their booth for SEMA.

Well we felt it would be cool to show you what we are going through to get the car done, especially since most of you wont be going. So this is a piece of SEMA coming to you so to speak.

Updates will be done weekly, we have till the 24th to get her done!

UPDATES ARE ALSO ON THE WEBSITE :

The NEW KONIG WHEELS


Dan has been doing the wiring harness for the last few days, i dont even know where to start.

Hes been cutting a bunch of wires out, almost 200, so the car will only run on what is absolutely neccesary and make the wire tuck that much easier. TO give you an idea of what a project it is:

I has been crashed a few times throughout the season. It just needed to be freshened up. If you come to SEMA crashed and dirty, they get a little upset.
