Zack does not discriminate, if you put it into perspective he is young as hell to have as much knowledge as he does, take it as a compliment.

hit a bit of a snafu came out this morning and there were 2 giant ass sags on each side of the cowl so im gona have to re clear it :mad2:. something always gota mess up when ever i do something:shake:

[sailsmen]

Looks like several GE Turbines under those wraps.

Reminds me of when I was delivering a 38' Cigarette moded by Stupen Racing for the USNA from Fort Meyers to Fort Lauderdale. We stopped in Fort Lauderdale to p/u a friend as crew to take it to Annapolis.

He was a 2 tour Navy Seal in Vietnam doing work for Perry Underwater. Perry asked us on the Cigarette to be a chase/photo boat of a sports fisher they had for sale.

As a reward afterwards they took us on a tour of Perry's facility all I got to see was blue tarps. The guide would say this is project XYZ123 and over hear we have ABC123. It was a big disappointment.:(

That trip is a whole story.

Hood looks great, give us a pic when she is on the MM.:D

That's alright dude, nothing is EVER easy working on something you like. For example, our rear brakes. lol

[offroadkarter]

Looks good so far, cant wait to see it installed

the damaged corner wont be noticeable when its installed

[ImpalaSlayer]

great. i gota do them soon to:mad:

[03blackvegas]

Good luck with the color match.

[ImpalaSlayer]

Good luck with the color match.

should match. gavem the paint code from the door. i just hope they found the correct cod for silver birch and just didnt say "oh its the same as a vic" and gave me silver frost

[BigCars4Ever]

The rear brakes aren't a problem, It's getting the f-ing rotors off that sucks. A block of aluminum and a big freakin hammer helps.

[ImpalaSlayer]

ill keep that in mind bcfe

[Rocknthehawk]

Yes, it will match the color of the car in 2004. I'm not saying it won't look good, just that the sun and elements do things to your paint, and a lot of the time when i worked in a shop, we would write to blend into the fenders, so the color would "match". a lot of the issues you face with the silver matching are in the hue (viewing it at an angle)

[ImpalaSlayer]

figued on that im just hopin for the best

[Bowman9]
