The evilbay /6 is going to the paint shop tomorrow....geez this is going fast. He got a cancellation and will do the complete body work and paint. It's nice to be owed favors in the business.....

Upholstery will be done duirng the same time period then I gets to pull the trans and replace the clutch.

Mark Brittel came up with some rocker panels.....just need some decent flapper valves for the heater and I be setup.....

I need to come up with a name....Rocket II or Rocket Junior don't cut it.....any suggestions? Keep it clean....Miles.....

It's gonna be yaller again....

Also I'm gonna get some of them purty air cleaners like JP has.....so the rain shields will be available if anyone needs a set.

I'd say call it your "Other Blonde", and see what your family says.

(Just kidding of course)

Interior, bumpers, lights and rubber.

Posted by: redshift Dec 16 2003, 09:08 AM

Yeah, most of you guys could just drive right over there, and be painting in 10 minutes.

Ferg,

What was wrong with the stripes? Didn't want to match someone else's RV?

Whenever I see a street machine with graphics, I always wonder if anyone will want to buy it later. I guess graphics are kinda personnal.

Actually, I liked the stripe as well...

Posted by: Ferg Dec 16 2003, 03:11 PM

It does not show in that picture because of the shade, but they were a metalic light purple/pinkish airbrush thingy going on. It was very well done, but did not do it for me.

I believe it was scott schroeder that coined the phrase the barbie porsche when i got home with it . I drove it all of two days before it went to the shop.

Shit....tried to order those air cleaner assemblies.....out of stock......

Went down to buy some bikes for the kids from Santa....out of stock WTF......?

Posted by: Red-Beard Dec 17 2003, 08:18 AM

You want to put the K&N filters on? I'm replacing my K&N setup with a stock setup. The verdict from my engine rebuilder was the rings were killed by dirty air.

Posted by: fuch toy Dec 17 2003, 10:03 AM

I already HAVE K&Ns....the ones with the rain shields. I just liked JPs set up. Really dressed up the engine bay.
