So, many of you probably do not know.. I'm a novice photographer. And I am working on my first project which I will need a Victorian style bathroom to shoot in... Weird I know right. I know someone posted a house for sale awhile ago in Victorian village that would have been perfect. So in short if anyone has a house or know someone that would be willing to let me use their bathroom for an hour or 2 tops. God that sounds sketchy...I really have no idea where to look or how to go about this other than asking around 😓

OH MY GOD that has got to be embarrassing...

I'd say the best way to do it would be sand it. any chemicals that would remove the clear would probably melt the plastic.

ohhh gotcha, that's the "old" store, iirc they used to have meets like every week back in 2013. There is a store that just opened a few weeks ago closer to the casino and it's open 24hrs, but their parking lot looks like a bomb range lol

the new one that is open 24 hours?

Old Circuit city building is supposed to be the meet spot tonight at 10pm... We've come back to retrying the old meet spots I guess lol

Shoulda yelled at me. lol I dipped out around 11:30 to go get food and booze, but I'll still be at cc&c tomorrow too.

I'm gonna head up to Anderson's tonight around 9 tonight in the Sonoma. The 614 FB page looks like a few people are going.. I'll also be at CC&C tomorrow around 9:30

Hey, can I get a mod to close this thread? I'd like to go ahead and start a new thread for the Sonoma GT

RIGHT, this is about the same condition my S10 was in when my parents got it back in like 2003, then it sat for 7 years and started rusting to hell. I'm going to do this right and restore the body completely, and do right by the GT name, and make her fast...lol

Posting from my phone real quick wait on my sister in Etna... So here is the new page where all the pictures will be posted projectbettywhite.tumblr.com Yes, already named her Betty White. Needs some good love but overall I don't think $3,000 was a bad deal. The body and frame are 1000x cleaner than my S10. Adding pictures

👍👍👍 Spaced on that, yeah forgot once the new key is programmed the old key won't work to start the car.

Awesome! I can probably get the ignition switch drilled out and replaced myself. I just don't have any real knowledge on the ford programming side of things. I'll talk to my sister and see what she wants to do, and if she wants to replace the ignition with new keys or just get a new key cut I'll definitely message you, if you don't mind

Gotcha, that's what I thought. Thanks

I know how GM VATS works, its really simple, and apparently ford used transponders in the key... So I have question, my sister has a 2002 Mercury cougar, when my house got broke into on the 15th among the stupid things they took, was my sister only car key.. Without the programmed key, how the hell do we replace the ignition switch/key?

Well it's unofficially official. Got the load paperwork filled out this morning, and will have the funds in my account tomorrow, soooo I'll probably go pick her up tomorrow after work.. I had my dad snap a pic of the VIN for me today to confirm it is a real GT and not a really good clone... And it's #70. So, I'm stoked about that. They are nearly identical, save for the wheel arches and side cladding is different... Other than that it looks like a Syclone. And they retailed for $10k less nada still lists clean retail at $15,000... I'm getting this one for..... A lot less 👍👍👍 Needs some minor cosmetic work, but overall I'd say the truck "cleaned up" could be worth 5-6,000. I look forward to actually taking this one out and being more than a rusted out ls swapped S10 😂

I sure hope so. If I do have it, I will for sure be at CC&C in her. Actually every single part will swap right over, the GT was built on the same 2wd truck chassis as my S10, unlike the Syclone that was built on a 4wd truck chassis... But I'm revising my ghetto shit.. going to make this a proper restomod and keep it all clean, take my time doing it and not making the same mistakes I did the first go around.

I am a firm believer in the "everything happens for a reason" no matter how shitty.... So as many of you know my 1992 Hoopty S10 was stolen and wrecked on July 17th, My inspection looks like the frame horn is twisted in. although the truck is still drivable, I don't want to throw money at it or have it turn into a money pit.. Well, The good news is I'm buying a 1992 GMC Sonoma GT. 141,000 miles, Perfect interior, body kit is intact and in good condition. paint is a little rough but the body is solid, the frame has little to no rust... What I would call a "barn find" even the original steel wheels are in perfect condition. It's not finalized, but I've got the loan approved and should have it in my possession on Friday at the latest.

I mean.... if it wasn't so damn humid just roll the windows down and let the sun bake it.. lol but for real, shop-vac as much excess water as possible and probably just put a dehumidifier in it

My truck has been "broke into" several times over the last three years. When I lived off Hall road, the head unit got stolen, couple times they got into and just tore shit up like the center console and tablet mount on the dash. In westgate it's only been gotten into like twice, never took anything other than change in the cupholder < I don't keep valuables in the truck, so I usually never lock the doors. . I wholeheartedly agree with that, as well as a few other "anti crime" measures... But that might hurt peoples feelings, or inconvenience someone that isn't a victim in a crime.

That is what we are assuming, since the ONLY things of value they stole were my wheels/tires (which are about $6-700) They didn't take any tools from the garage except for my floor jack (which is in the charger still) some jugs of oil, gas cans, etc. When we got to the impound lot, both cars smelled like they had been soaked in gas, even the officer my dad was talking to mentioned it. Guess they were going to torch the cars and shit they didn't need/want to get rid of all the prints or whatever... Detectives are coming tomorrow to check for prints in the garage, and window where they got it, so hopefully that leads to an arrest..

My truck unfortunately stays parked in the street, had it been in the driveway, I would have heard it for sure since my room is on the same side of the house.

Both my 1992 Hoopty S10 and my step mom's 2006 Charger. Along with two Wheels/tires I had not put on my s10 yet. Both car were recovered this morning off south high steer, the charger in the walmart parking lot and the s10 stuck in the mud. Both cars were wrecked, the charger is possibly totalled, s10 looks to just be sheet metal damage. Appears most stolen items were left in the back seat of the charger, but the two loose wheels were not found. So, If you guys could keep an eye out for TWO 19" Verde Parallax wheels (black with machined face) with brand new 275/40 Sumitomo HTR Z III. That'd be appreciated. My dad is dealing with insurance for me, since it's on his policy. So I don't know what will come of that, I was able to drive my truck home...but it's pretty banged up.

Damn, Congrats man!

As of now the suspension is still holding together, has not settled much if any. Think I've gone to 4 clicks compression and 2 clicks rebound. Exhaust is holding up, need to replace a band clamp that I messed up. And not sure what the hell caused it but my muffler it starting to.....wrinkle, like huge grooves around the circumference of the case, only guess would be afterfire expanding in the muffler? Doesn't sound weird yet but I'm looking at going to a Spintech sportsman 3000 to go in it's place. And FINALLY Got the tires installed... Still need to order the front adapters. But I got the rears on already. Went with a Sumitomo HTR Z III in 275/40r19, already got the corrected tune flashed for the smaller tires, ready to test them out lol And speaking of tune, Last adjustments I dropped the PE to 50% throttle, 0s delay and pulled a total of around 5 degree at WOT. "seems" to pull a lot harder. peak is 26deg at 0.52/5600
