all that extra weight? What like 10 lbs? The panels are pretty thin and didn't really add any additional weight at all. And no...you still won't be able to keep up. :no_no:

I really didn't eat any more sand that any other rails before. I doubt panels make much more of a difference for blocking out any sand, but we'll see.

I used to have Cingular and yeah..I got signal in Baker no prob.

PM Don29Palms. He should be one of the first ones in the group out there. He can give you an idea of where he's gonna be parked. :no_no:

I'm not a$$hurt about anything. I just think you are looking way too far into the whole "graphic design" of the "flames". He just ran the grinder over the hood to give it a lil something extra. It's not like it is down the whole side of my car.

Oh I know. I DO remember that part. It was the last half of the night that was a blur. :no_no:

I believe powdercoat.

Well thanks for your input, Nick. :no_no: I think it looks just fine. I'm leaving it, thanks.

here we go...it's official...

but the "a" and the "o" are on opposite sides of the keyboard! :no_no:

So does that mean this thing gonna be ready for the DDR kickoff weekend? I hope so!

Seems kinda like a trend.... My buddy, Stephan, drove his car about 5 miles like this...

That sucks. I know all about that chit! I have been know to get a little carried away when jumping...not anymore though! :no_no: I also have been known to find the only big a$$ rocks going to comp at night too! Tell him he's got almost two weeks. Get that effer fixed!

You mean "Dan"?

About $500 plus another 50 for the hood. That included all mounting tabs welded on the frame and all hardware as well.

I got my new side panels and hood put on this weekend. Josey @ Sick Sand Travel did them and did a pretty nice job. They look sweet, but I still have to decide on either a color or just run a DA sander over them and clear coat em. I also still have to insulate them between the panels and the frame. I don't want these damn things rattling AT ALL! new hood... So far this summer... I have also put in some new Crow belts... a new chain and sprocket... ....and rewired the HID's to eliminate the key fob switch for them. I also did this because I think the tranmitter had a draw that was killing the battery after sitting for long periods of time. I also put in a brand new battery and serviced the CV's with new grease. The only things I have left are touch up the frame where the welds were made for the (this is Kens Color's specialty), insulate the panels, and put in some fresh gas and off I go. I can't wait.

wtf? here's another pic of you at Dan's poker run since you freakin insisted.

holy crap! awesome story! That's funny! I liked it.

why is this thread all of a sudden about ME?

As much as I see this as a really good time, I have to agree with ynot and racertim23. It might start off as a good time, but I too think that it would just cause problems in the end. There is usually enough going on at comp hill for me anyways. I plan on going to Dumont for years to come and hope that it is the same place then as it is now. If I really wanted that whole crazy scene, I'll take a drive down to G on a holiday weekend. Until then, I like the Dumont atmoshere and plan on staying there.

oh yeah sorry

That's cool, Dan, but what about some food without alcohol saturated in it?

YEP! THOSE! Yeah, they are a bunch of great peeps! We've had some good times w/ them at Dumont over the past few years.

Damn it, Don!

You should have elaborated a little bit more on that, Don.
