I've sent people PM's and wanted to see what I said or when I sent them. I look under my message folder for sent messages. It always comes up empty. What's the deal?

Some dumb B**ch clipped my rear driver quarter and bumper in the parking lot. How do I remove it to paint it? I see the screws in the wheel well, but what else holds it to the fender? Double sided tape? Body clips? What about the bumper cover?

sounds good but it depends on track open for me
Have you tried contacting the track to get the race info? I found the the date info on the site, but it says nothing about times. The only thing I foun was that the office was open 8:30-5:30 or something like that.
I still haven't decided if I'm going. Depends on wheather. If it's hot and sunny I'll probablhy wanna jump on the boat instead.
-
I wanna know what happened to the original motor. You think he'll sell it to me for $2k to put in my SS?
-
that is a good question! I have not seen a lot of roadsters race but the fuel alters that i have seen have roll bars like the top fuel cars that go around the helmet.
I was even thinking of a Prowler or old '34 Ford. I've seen them race without all that.

It looks pretty quick.

Ahha, I found it on youtube.

Page down. It took me a minute to find it.

My driver side armrest got brittle and cracked right where I rest my elbow while steering with my right hand. I found this guy on Ebay that offers a replacement cover that slides over the existing cover. I bought one, and it's pretty nice. Real easy to install. There is a video you can watch right on the item description. I would suggest to anyone out there, buy one and install it now, before your factory arm rest cracks. It's $50 to protect the factory cover that is sewn on.

windows have to be up, or you run the risk of your head coming out the window in the event of a roll over.
How do you race a roadster?
-
I would think you could run with the windows down. You can't be the first guy that wanted to run with them with all the hot rods out there.

any idea on how much a spray in liner weighs.
I asked him today. He said about 60-65lbs. I was a little off. Obviously it's a little thicker than the stuff at Pep Boys you roll on.
If anyone is interested, I could probably line up one of the local stereo guys to come in since Chris won't be able to make it. I need to know soon enough to talk to them.
If you want, you can order HID's from Chris and we can install them. From what he's told me though, you won't need much help. More time to drnk beer.

starts about 1 pm that saturday. goes till whenever. i know i would like to go see some guys run the track... HINT HINT
I thought you were going to be soooooo wrapped up in the job. How are you gonna make it to the track?
-
Remember, don't think JUST bed liners. He can spray anything you think you might want a "Hard Coat" on. I'm having him do my dogs' cage pans to prevent them from scratching theough or cracking. He can do boat hulls, other car parts, etc.
He also does undercoating with a different product. No, it's not spray can. It's a hard coat as well. It's not the stuff that stays soft and is weakend by petroleum products.
If anyone is interested, Alligator Bob's motorcycle seats is next door. He did a seat for one of the bike shows on Discovery/TLC. It was either American chopper or Biker Build off. He does awesome work. He may be able to do other vehicle stuff(head rests). Picture charcoal gray crocodile haed rests with the SS logo

any idea on how much a spray in liner weighs.
I'll try to remember to call him tomorrow and ask. I can't see it being more than 20 pounds. A gallon of water is 8lbs.

sounds like ya got a great weekend planned! few questions, what kind of liner is it? line-x? if its line-x im in! what is the pricing? i just want a black liner.... also now that its leagle to have tints in the front windows in illinois im interested in that as well.... what do we have for a price on that? i just want the driver and passenger front windows tinted to match the factory tints on the back windows so i think thats about 35%?
It's actually Spray tech(Armorthane).http://www.spraytech-wi.com/ He does it in 3 coats instead of one heavy coat like alot of guys do. He also uses a sealer to prevent fading. My truck was done by the previous owner in Rhino Liner and it has fading.
35% is correct to match it.
I'll PM prices to anyone who asks.
