"Modern Warfare!" Eurotuner -January 2011

just caught wind of this? I knew there was something in the works, but didnt expect something this quickly. Sam Du shot it at the end of the day, Saturday, at H2Oi this year. And low and behold, this...

I feel honored to be labeled one of the "best of H2oi". and yes, I will get better images as soon as I can find my own copy lol...

Vinyl wrap (digital camo)

so i finally found the pictured from when we wrapped the car back in july. had been meaning to have it done before June 1st, so it would be all set for the Eurowerks4 show. but timing isnt my strong suite. as you can see, we took a little more care then the typical wrap might, taking off the door handles, mirrors, and front bumper to get it all laid out perfect. one piece taillight to headlight, one each for the bumpers, hatch, and hood respectively. between Jeff@AAC and myself, we had a good 20+ hours into it to make it look like it does. and well worth the time and effort, always fun to watch people search for seems that dont exist :)

Jeff does all the local Army/ National Guard display vehicles for football games, promotions, etc. so we took the standard BDU print, changed the hue a bit, and sent it off to be printed. then, just to stay in theme with the rest of the car, it was all laminated after printing to give it a matte finish, versus a glossy one...

relaxation device..

finally a chance to get some pics up of the new relaxation device. had it for a bit now, just havent had time to get to the camera until the last few days. forgot that i had even pics of it..

so cool, i just had to stop...

usually most of the graffiti i see around the shop is borderline gang related, or the mindless scribbles of some high teenager, looking for attention. a few weeks ago, i had seen a similar design to this on one of the buildings in passing, but by the time i had a chance to return for some pics, it was gone? painted over by the building owner i imagine.

well, a few weeks later, and its back lol. same doors and all. so i had to get pics this time. and believe it or not, this is sidewalk chalk? so it did make me laugh to picture the owner painting over it, when he could easily just scrub it off.

now if only he would come do our building, i think we would let him have at it all he/ she wants..

kool surprise on a sunday afternoon..

stopped off at B&N today when out for some supplies, figuring i would grab the new PVW. came across this when i did?..



opened it up, and paged through it, coming upon my own feature! holy hell, i didnt even know they were putting this out? nice little surprise after a long week, to say the least..

here we go again, round whatever at this point...

so a productive day on sunday, if i dont say. made it out to Welle Auto Supply to pick up some things, and cant ever seem to make it out of there without spending money. i was there maybe 10 minutes, and $85 dollars later, i was walking out the door. like a kid in a candy store, i could get in so much trouble in there given the time. so that sorted, and the garage somewhat clean..

and talk about a cramped space? yes, this is what i am used to having for room most times anyhow :)


but anyhow, before i can get started with my new goodies, i need to get the underside of the car torn down. yes, you heard that right. i am cleaning up, and redoing the underside of the car.



and as most know, i have to clean things as i tear them apart. the secret to how this car has stayed so damn clean over the years. yup, i am that nuts i guess...

and i got the rear beam out as well. that will be heading off to be sandblasted, and then who knows from there ;)

talk about funny looking..
