Right on :wedgie:

I am kind of fond of that color. I wanted to get my new trailer that color as well. I already have a Snap-on tool box that is Cranberry.

Are the panels going the same color as the cage?

Yes the whole car will be either chrome or cranberry color.

I know!! wish I had more right now. all the panels are done and are at powder.

the thing that sucks about having a friend build your car is that you get put on the back burner at times. my car has sat idle for 2 weeks and I am not too happy but I am an understanding kind of guy when it comes to making $$$$.

Monday I will have a chat with him about getting it done.

We wanted to see KA but it is dark those nights. We have seen all the other Cirque shows, Blue Man, Carrot Top, Amazing Jonathan.....

I guess it is a bit pricy, but it is a mini vacation for us so I am open to spend a lil ca$h.

There is no way that is in TJ! I don't see the horse painted to look like a zebra and the gutters are WAY too clean!

That could work too. I am open to suggestions.

Me and the wife will be in Vegas July 1-3. I want to go see a show but the good ones are either dark those nights or we have seen them.

Bobby Slayton is a funny comedian and the tickets aren't that bad either. $36.95.

I was thinking maybe a few of you that might want to do this we could get a bunch of seats together and a good laugh and mabe a few after.

It is on a Sunday (July 1) but its at 8pm so not too late, I think it is a 80 min. show.

Plus my wife could meet a few of you as well.

no problem but bring your check book, and they sound like an Indy car on steroids.

What would something like that cost?

I like it too very nice!

Garth Brooks, Friends in Low Places.

Come on, you all know you've been wasted singing along to that one.

I would have to be WASTED to be singing COUNTRY!!! :shoot_head:

I can't remember who sings this but I remember being totally :ahhhhh: from :ahhhhh: and siniging with my friends this one.... Bye bye Miss American pie, Drove the chevy to the levy but the levy was dry..

Good times there. Germany 89-91 Even got a piece of the wall too!

These don't have anything to do with beer other than the fact that they get me in the mood to party and drink alot. :dance:

Anything from Sublime or Slightly Stoopid for me.

Other than that...

Deftones: My Own Summer (Shove it)

Taproot: Again & Again, I, Poem, Now, etc....those are just a few of my favorites from Taproot. I love every one of their songs though.

Korn: Got the Life, Ya'll wanna Single

Mudvayne: Happy

Stone Sour: 30/30 150 :mic:

I agree 100% with Sublime!!

good ones so far although I am not a fan of country. But lets keep them coming.....

I want to make a few CD's that when you hear them it puts you in the mood to .

Lets start a list of specific songs not just the artist. Here are my first two that I have.

UB40- Rat in the kitchen

Common Sense- Never give up

me too, $6.00 in tape or $1400.00 for a new paint job!

you have two things already accomplished. the motivation and the wifes approval and that is a huge accomplishment in itself.

Have fun!

more progress...

Radiator is in...

more panels...

As soon as the panels get finished up, the rest go to powder coat and final assembly.

looks like a good deal with those tires. They will be too much for your car I think but you can sell them easily and make back about half of what you have invested so far.

Have fun with the build.

And then when the shop in cali gets it, They send it down to mexico. The laws here in cali suck.

You beat me to it. If the laws in Nevada suck what would that say about California's!!!

I had my intakes chromed on my last rail and they went into Mexico. The good thing is it is usually good work and done at a fair price.

When is SEMA?

I will be in Vegas from July 1-3.

Staying at the Venetian.

Is this not fun or what! Are you doing any of the work yourself. Because that is MOST gratifying.

Car looks gooooood.

I mounted the tires onto the rims. Other than that the hardest work I did was write a really big check!!

I built my yellow Chenowith that I just sold and built my first rail as well. Your right it is alot of fun and you take pride in what you have accomplished. I went the lazy route this time but I like the way its going.

There is a main breaker that should trip if something goes wrong. I am not sure what all the fuses go to as of right now, they aren't labeled yet. He has the master diagram and we will label them from that.

But I will ask about that thanks.

Not alot of progress this week on the car..

I did manage to get my off-road tires and mount them. They came out pretty good I think

Fronts 31x10.5x15

Rear 33x12.5x15

That trans should hold as long as you don't beat it up. No dropping the clutch for sure! I use to carry a spare tranny with me to the dunes all the time but my VW 2276 couldn't break it so I left it at home.

Now I am doing the Mendiola thing and am paranoid about the reverse issue!!!!!

Motor is in!!!

I really like the jet coat black headers, everone has the silver so I wanted something different.

Here is a somewhat better look at the wiring job. I will get the guys name.

They are all mini buss fuses in a water tight box.

Sorry the last pic is fuzzy but you get the point right? Its a real sanitary wiring job, wish I had that type of skill!

and i thought sanddunesaddict had a light fetish!!! DAMN

LOL... I forgot to mention the whips are the LED ones too so MORE LIGHTS!!
