^^^What he said. :drool: :beer:
It was an honor to lend a hand MG!! The vision was all yours, and the execution stellar. Absolutely love the clean and modern look, especially with how bright and airy it is.

Thank you for the comments everyone, much appreciated!!!
Not a squeak or rattle and I'm over 500 miles into my trip. It's eerily quiet like an S class Mercedes. I made a bunch of unnecessary stops already just so I could get out and open and shut the doors a few times. They shut better than Mercedes. Thanks Dynamat and attention to detail on the install by MG Metalworks.
I can't stop looking over my shoulder or in the rear view mirror at the incredible work from Michael. It's like car guy jewelry. Some of the little details that were handmade by his father Frank are so cool. Custom trailblazing projects like this always have hiccups and this one tried everyone's patience including our families. There was plenty of stress to go around but Michael always kept his cool and never compromised on his commitment to high quality. He doesn't know any other way.
There is still a list of things to be done. Monday morning I will be at the Magnaflow HQ for a custom manifold-back exhaust and then to Aluminess to install the roof rack and ladder. And there's more. I'm sure I'll be working on it the night before the show starts.
But for now this is its maiden voyage to work out any big drivability bugs and get a feel for a van that has undergone a complete transformation. So far it has exceeded my expectations. Chris at Ujoint puts together a proven package that just works. Combined with the tune from Mike at 5 Star, performance and highway drivability took a few major leaps forward.
If anyone is going to SEMA please come by the OPTIMA booth, say hi and check out this rig. Both Michael and Chris should be there.
More to come.....

damn amazing job on this MG!
Can't get to SEMA, but I'm down the street from Magnaflow!
But I happen to have the day off Monday! If you don't mind can I come check it out?
I promise I won't drool over the van... too much!
