    Poorboy Shawn is presently serving a 3 month tour (Air Force) over in the big sandbox - UAE. Before he left he asked me to order some Supremes and wide whites for his Buick while he was gone. Finally got them all here and with a lot of help from my buddy Rick (flamedchevy) we got them mounted and installed. We went ahead and did a brake job and fixed a couple of leaks on the car while we had it up here.

    I know there will be a lot of differing opinions on the WIDE whites but that's what the guy wanted. Actually when he gets the car repainted like he wants I think it will look a lot better.

    Big thanks again to Rick for all the help and to Shawn for serving the country. :cool:

    Thanks to him from all of us enjoying our freedom. Poor Boys looking out for one another, thats what a club is all about. There is only 1 thing that would make that car look better, IF it was up here for Sins of Steel. We will save you a nice parking spot!!!!

    I couldnt ask for a better family then the Poorboys. Gator and Rick are really stand up guys. it makes deployments a lot less stressfull when you have club members and friends like this that are there to watch out for you at home. wish i would be back in time for the sos show , i would take you up on that offer for the parking spot. i wont be getting home till the last week of june so i will also be missing the greatest show on earth "indy road rockets show" also. you detroit guys she meet us there next year. i met some of you at billit proof fl a few years ago and know we would have a good time.

    What a great coming home present for Shawn. Gator and Rick are the best for doing this for a fellow member and serviceman. The car is looking good, is Brett feeling any remorse?

    That is one slick ride with those wheels and tires! You mentioned he wants to do something different with the paint, what are his plans?
