I tried to talk him into a red/white/blue combo, with an eagle tearing out of the side since we know how patriotic Evan is.

Brackets tacked up

Okay guys, it was funny but I don't want this to be a drama thread. I'm not painting the car, it was a joke.

Wes, where are the pics of the seats you took? Don't hold out on me, buddy.

edit- ninja'ed! Thanks for the pics and work putting them in.

evan, do this....here's what we have been working on at Exile Motorsports

we're welding, and painting the bay. no more holes!(that's what she said (boom01) )

 

[Lewis7789]

Damian, I would probably do that if I had a welder. Looks good though and I can't wait to see the final product! I plan on painting the engine bay when the motor and everything is out, still trying to decide what color though. Probably just semi-gloss black again.

yeah i'm going gloss black. my friend is welding most of it. but he's let me do my own welding too. i'm getting the hang of it pretty well. excited for that.

i think you all need to come to the ocean city AWD meet and meet me and see my work!

^Team Ohio road trip!

 

[THE Phen]

Aaah, Ocean City... the memories. Sometimes I miss driving half way thru the night, barely awake, fueled by unsafe levels of caffeine... Yep, those were fun times.

 

[Dpwhitehead1]

it's settled then. team ohio will be coming to ocmd on june 9th. i'll be there from the 8-10

not as important. AWD meet, beach. come.

Seats look good. Its a shame you were joking about painting it. For the longest time I wondered what it would look like titanium gray (like the MSP)



Is OC still like a mini jersey shore with a slightly lower douche factor? My friend will probably be there with his Genesis coupe (he usually goes to the meets ya'll have in waugh chapel area with Rob, Paul, etc.. hes a PG county police officer)

it's ocmd.. not ocnj lol.

I would say there's douchers down there, but we're MD'ers... lol.
it's a good time. and most of the AWD subie guys/gals are pretty cool. I'm a mix suby/mazda.. i'm specialur.

The P5 passed e-check last night after work. Catless and everything. Go figure. Haha!

Today I got some goodies in.

The Clutch Masters Stage 3 clutch from CR3 Motorsports;

And JT (bikingpro5) sent me some roof rack filler strips from Canada, eh. They look great and aren't even bent up from the Post Offices! Even though it looks like they did attempt it... haha

And JT, I'm not sure if your buddy was playing a prank on me or you, or if it was you. But there were some chopsticks in the box... (scratch) hahaha

 

[Cleverfrog]

Nice!

 

[hat1018]

Ricer joke? If so it's a good one!

 

[Lewis7789]

^^^ That's what I thought, Larry. haha
