Well I got today off (my birthday), tomorrow, and Thursday off Then 25 straight days of work, with 21 of them being 12 hrs or more. 18 of them are on Midnights. One of my team members is going in for Back surgery. I will be surprise if he ever comes back to this job. We have to cover for the 1st month before they let us have an extra guy.
So with all this extra OT, I have already brought these and installed them

They are a little lower than I expected, not much neck or head support. Then I'm getting this. http://www.maximummotorsports.com/st...oducts_id=1284.
For how it looks watch this but I'm not getting the door bars.

Well the car heads to the body shop on the 19th for a wet sand with 2000 grit. The guy at the body shop says it won't remove any of the clear coat but will make it as smooth as a babies butt. Better then it came out of the factory. It is a one day job because of it being a vert. $350.00. Still sucks though.
What he is about to do is pretty much take out all the "orange peel" look from the paint and make it look smooth as glass

Just so you know Scott it will remove very little of the clear coat. Not that much to matter but enough to make is that smooth. After I paint a car I wetsand and buff it after it sat overnight.

Hey Boogie,
Good to hear from you. Yeah that is what he told me. He claims the car will look better than when it came out of the factory. Much smoother. The paint on the car is really perfect except for the crap on the clear coat.

It's mine I think. Better yet lets make it you. Actually I think it could be Darrell's turn. I am heading to Chicago on Monday morning to look at some new equipment we are buying from Mitsubishi. I can swing by Gary Ind. going or coming home on Tuesday morning.

does anyone wanna trade (my) mac longtubes and offroad prochamber for a set of shorties? I need to get my car emissions-compliant again so i can get it registered in wisconsin... so i would rather not hook my stock h-pipe back up to stock manifolds.
