Grayeagle Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Hiya;. I got the front-end protector wheelie doo-dads from CCA ('Fat Momma's),..I don't have the tools and I sure can't fit under the front of the black bullet .. ..so how much ya want to install 'em? .. and when do ya have an opening for me to bring the car in?I can't wait to get rid of that shuddering, scraping, metal-going-away sound on them steep driveways I run across now an then. -Frank (I dunno .. does this count as a 'mod?' -LOL-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grayeagle Posted February 3, 2007 Author Share Posted February 3, 2007 Yanno .. .. I did a lithograph of 'Big Beautiful Doll' based on an acrylic painting I did .. the litho place said the detail was so good that they recommended upsizing the print ..so its a great wall hanging. Done on PH-balanced heavy stock, it never yellows.Reason I chose that particular plane, the guy who flew it was the youngest Col in the Army Air Corp, he had made 'ace' in the P-40, the P-38, and the Mustang .. a real fighter pilot in any man's book. He kicked butt in any plane he flew in. 'Just gimme somethin with guns on it!' .. yanno?I will have to scrounge thru my shed an see if I got any left somewhere .. I printed 'em up an had the plates destroyed afterward to make it limited production run. It aint no 'poster' -Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOTV8 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Love the sound of the Red one .. an the black vert ..LOL .. I think we heard ya alla way to the freeway We aim to please! Nuthin' better than blastin' Tim's fine neighborhood with the top down! Thanks for hosting Tim, your ride is what we used to call "sano" when I was pup. Incredible, can't wait for the new cam! Good to meet Frank, nice choice in rides bro'! And got to heckle Mike and Jack as they tried to figure a plumber's fix for those new C6's! I took some pix, I hope I can get 'em all posted:I arrived to this scene:And once they got Frank's on, Tim really wanted to keep drilling holes...so he coerced me into letting him and Red-squad guy Mike work on my ride. Sure enough, Mike pulls out the Plumber's best friend, the BFH and Tim starts snapping bits in half: Then Frank tells Jack: "Jacks??? ...we don't need no stinking jacks!" Our host.....pleasantly photochopable, I think. :D J/K Had fun and should do it again soon! You guys do good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P51tj Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Had fun drillin today and everything was a "snap" on the C5s. Nice pics Mike and Dean, thanks for posting. Deano, nice departure from the hood! Sorry we couldn't get yours figured out Jack, and you can't even tell there was an oil change done .... anymore! Happy to see the little one all healthy and happy also! Frank, thanks a ton for letting your car be guinue pig and thanks for "My Beautiful Doll"! Had a good time, no blood spilled, just metal shavings in a Bluetooth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOTV8 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Deano, nice departure from the hood! Sorry. Hope it wasn't too obnoxious, I waited 'til I got off your actual street...but then I figured I better let Frank hear what a black '98 could sound like, ya know....since he's started "modding"!
