  1. Looking at Trucks! TV show...has anyone used this primer/filler? Just curious...at $100 a gallon, I hope others have had great luck with using it for bodywork!
  2. Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice... Welcome!
  3. Wow...looks great! Did you remove the emblems, or just taped around them and wiped overspray with goo-gone?
  4. That's one of the best looking Mustang tail treatments I've ever seen. I'd like to think that a 300hp V6 is all I would need, but for a few grand more the GT V8 is one sexy monster. Ford FTW.
  5. Talk to mark. See how much he'll be for what you need...
  6. Mark Masserella... The accounting department. Tell'em Clay sent ya. 614-759-9967.
  7. +1. "honey, what smells like a dead dog's body after it was pulled out of the LaBrea tar pits?"
  8. Sorry I wasn't there...forgot to mention I'm in FL this weekend! Looks like I missed a beautiful weekend!
  9. If you don't show your respects for Ol' Shel in this thread, you're not a true car guy!
  10. I don't think Ranger I-beams will work...1) I've exhausted the Internet searching for options for lowering the Ford F100/F150 , and 2) the length/camber of the Ranger wouldn't work. I've spoken to Matt (tinman) i'm going old-school...gonna cut coils to drop the front, then have Matt pie-cut and re-weld the stock spindles to restore decent camber. The front end floats enough...it could use some serious stiffening anyway! The rear is going to get a shackle flip...easiest way to drop a few inches for only the cost of some grade 8 bolts. Looking to eliminate wheel gap with the fenders, maybe tuck a little tire! Hopefully getting the lowering done by June, paint should be whenever I finish filling in the old rear view mirror holes in the doors.
  11. THEY ASPLODE The State Department regrets to inform you that you lost 6 good soldiers to the Freezer Offensive. Thankfully, 13 others survived with minor injuries. They will live to fight your thirst another day. :megusta:
  12. http://www.columbuscarsandcoffee.net 8am to 12pm - Cup O' Joe, Lennox Town Center Tell yo' friends...BRING 'EM OUT!!!
  13. <3 Paul Harvey. Wonder if 2012 IS the end of days?
  14. Good call...update is long overdue! EXTERIOR: I'm now 90% sure I'm going to plasti-dip the exterior red. White bumpers front and rear, and white wheels. I welded the front bumper bolts onto the bumper, and grinded/painted the front bumper. Smooth...kinda! Will be doing the rear when I get the chance. INTERIOR: The panels and dashpad are worn heavily from old age and the sun. I bought some outdoor tablecloth material: red/white plaid vinyl with a cotton backing...like the cover you find on an outdoor picnic bench. Well, it didn't take to well to spray adhesive...the plastic wouldn't smooth out. I did the dashpad and it looks rough to say the least. Good effort on my part; I'll get heavier-grade material and reupholster the interior panels on the cheap! POWERTRAIN: Every time I drive the truck, the engine feels better and better...truly "breaking the engine in". I love driving this thing. The carb is a little funky still, though...I'm thinking about a rebuild myself. SUSPENSION: Tinman is going to slice and dice the I-beams after I cut the coils for some much needed drop! Hoping for 4" of lowering all around the truck... Pics to come...whenever I get around to them?
  15. Rofl, but I've had a bit much to drink...

  17. Thought of one I've been looking at myself: Audi S4 Cabriolet. Not a lot of 'em... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/340HP-V8-CABRIOLET-CONVERTIBLE-6-SPEED-MANUAL-RECARO-SEATS-18-INCH-ALLOYS-/160791892161?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item256ff190c1#ht_10208wt_1165 They can get pricey if low-mileage, but the powertrain is rock solid. Combine that with VAG fit-n-finish, and you've got an awesome sounding convertible with all-season driveablilty! Fuck it...I just bid on this one...I'm selling my Passat!
  18. YEAHHHH!!!! SUCK IT! Love the look! The calipers, body, stripes....it all gels in a way that gives me an herection.
  19. +100. I'll leave it up to GM to either not bring a diesel ATS to U.S. markets, or only offer a phaggy automatic saying that the take rate on a diesel/manual doesn't justify the development costs. Let alone that Jetta TDi sales are through the roof and a large portion are sticks... I'm definitely turned on to the idea of turning up the wick on a 45mpg diesel DD (intake/exhaust mods, chip). Right now, I'm eyeballing the new Passat TDi 6-speed (used 2013, 2014) as a daily driver option in 2016. However, would be happy to see what Cadillac coughs up...
  20. I'll buy some of your produce, if you have excess yield. I have not the time, ability, or patience to grow a garden, but I would be happy to nom on salsa or fresh veggies!
  21. RPO sheet...I'll just leave this here. http://eogld.ecomm.gm.com/NASApp/domestic/proddesc.jsp?year=2013&butID=1&regionID=1&divisionID=5&vehicleID=12622&type=0
  22. http://www.autoblog.com/2012/05/07/2013-chevrolet-malibu-eco-review/ Posting this article because - in addition to the new Malibu ECO looking like the most boring new car you can possibly buy - I was shocked at the volume measurements between the Malibu and the Cruze. WTF??? I don't know if you give props to the Cruze, or pan the crappy Malibu. ...or, as most of CR will likely agree...just poop all over both cars.
