The Bullitt is usually parked in front of the II. right by the garage door, farthest away from any other cars; I moved it there today to protect from overspray.

Also, came up with a front bumper idea today. Turns out the old Brush bar from a Honda Passport I got from my friend years ago bolts RIGHT up to the bumper shocks in the front. No cutting. No drilling, just bolts My dad came up with cutting up the old bumper to cover the sides.

crappy cell phone pics:




also let it be known that scothew is a cruel, cruel man

BTW. Car looks great, put a big freakin blower stickin' out of the hod and you'd have a serious Mad Max theme car going on there.

Thats a carb scoop. Sits right on top of the carb, with an air cleaner inside. When you open up the throttle the red circles open up. You see em alot on top of blowers, but they look pretty cool just like that. I ordered a flat black one to go with the black theme.

Burningman had one on his Cobra II way back when

OK I get it now. I thought that was just considered part of the blower, didn't know it could sit atop the carburator. Those things kick ***. I love it when they open up and $hit.

So Arin is it too soon to see the sex of the little one on the sonogram.

Do you have names yet.

You better start looking into daycares now. The best ones have waiting lists.

I'm sorry dude, I can't stop it!!!

Dude, I kid you because your cool about it. You've got the right attitude about it. Its funny, but I'm done now. I guess I should be careful what I wish for.

I like the II though. What do you think she ways as is?

oh dont worry about it man lol, I dont mind at all. Its all fun and games on this forum. If I expressed any hatred, its for comedic purposes only

as for the II, its supposed to barely weigh 3000lbs with a C4 and V8, but who knows for sure. Someday I'll figure it out. theres a way to figure it out using the contact patch of your tires and the psi... i'll have to look it up soon and try it out
