PS: Been talkin' about ya. Not necessarily a pretty sight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/QUOTE]

Did someone really cut loose or what? When are we gonna see some pictures? Or is this a "what happens in Dallas stays in Dallas deal?"

 

[Brian Thompson]

Phil....Who uses checks anymore??? Why do you have to mess with me so much???!!!!

Thanks Guys! Had a great time at the show.

Met all kinds of great people, saw some pretty awesome cars and forgot my camera! Roger and Phil had their cameras and Phil will probably post some incriminating photos of me....


Timje to order some more parts and start saving up for a custom interior.... I realized that I'm too "Street" for a Modified class.

And I forgot to bring my camera too.

Everything top notch out there had air ride too...

I'll try to load some pictures of Brians car tomorrow from Thompson but can guarantee they won't do it justice. It is awesome. I also think that interior you have is perfect.


See, I can be nice.









But, then again, can the pictures from the chevy show be as incriminating as those sure to come out of the darkroom from Thompson??


Hope you guys get back safely

Brian...........

VERY NICE !! bang

Since Mike and Phil started picking "favourite" pictures...I would also have to agree on the burnout shot...but I also like the last picture with the side-rear view.

So...BT 409 ....great "double up" on the initials and the roofline !!

P.S. What kind of camera and image setting are you using ???

Where did this topic come from? :?

 

[Brian Thompson]

As some of you know, my car got damaged during a storm while at the Thompson event. The night before leaving, my car was on my trailer and an E-Z-Up Canopy and the wind decided that my car should be covered. I woke up to a loud crashing noise about 3:00 am, looked out the window and there I saw the canopy perfectly positioned over my car. I went outside, knowing it got messed up, and of course it did. Both sides of the car go pretty scratched/gouged up.

I took it to a friend's body shop to fix it for me since I didn't have the room or time to do it myself. Here are some pics of the repair so far. Both sides of the car will get a full re-paint

I wanted to re-align the body on the frame because the hood started to hit the inside of the fender and the trunk gaps started to close up. Well, when we loosened the body bolts, this was the outcome....so we had to fix it as well.
