    That's one clean looking car. I really like how you have the rear wheel opening shaped. Keep the pictures coming.

    that's an awesome car. you don't see a lot of shoebox gassers around, well at least i don't :p. post some more pics when you can, i'd like to see some more of it.
     
  10. I'd like to get the grill surround chromed before i show any front pics, and the back bumper on before i post rear pics. SOON, i hope. I'm real happy with the prgress so far. It was an empty shell from the paint shop 3 weeks ago. Now it's got steering, brakes, glass, carpet, seats, and it runs (temporary 326 until the 421's done). Thanks for all the good words! PS- the color's House of Color Limetime pearl basecoat applied by Lance Fielding.

    Very nice, can't wait to see it finished.

    Any current pics of the Vette?

  12. The Vette's on the back burner so i can get the 51 to Paso. However, i did put a thumpin' engine in the Vette a couple weeks ago. Sounds BAD as a bitch!

    that machine needs needs some vicious lettering. Pick up the June 2005 Car Craft and you'll see what I mean. No more of those namby pamby letters like on your yellow willys.
     
  16. I don't know if i can let a guy letter my car that says things like namby pamby. I'm laughing so hard, tears are getting in my keyboard. All kidding aside, i just saw the 2 Pontiacs you lettered (i love Pontiacs), and they both look awesome. I didn't know you lettered until i saw that magazine. GREAT job! PS-where's my money sucka? Did you still want the book?

    Naturally, my home town,actually Panorama City! I move to TN, and can't find all the stuff I always took for granted. They have GREEN window film? Thanks i'll try here again, but TN is behind California,about 10years:( Now If only you could run your shoebox at 'The Pond"":D Sparky
     
  25. Groucho= My new hero. You are either rich, single, or both. Or you have your lady listening to Tom Lychus and buying into it!

    Can I come over and play sometime?

    Seriously, though, after your shoe's together I'd be honored to have a look-see.

  26. They have green, blue, red, and yellow. Actually a few diferent shades of each. Maybe you can have Mike send you some samples, pick one, and have him ship it in a tube to you!

    hey Crush, Groucho pays for his girlfriends, so he doesn't have to pay Alimony later, thats why he's able to still have cool cars. I've never heard(or seen) Groucho in such a good mood either, usually he's just yelling at me. HOY!
     
  28. Very Cool Groucho-I like.........
     
  29. That looks great! Way to go.
