    It will be a surprise.
    Will you have pics and a write up if this works out?
    I can probably do that. It's actually a lot easier to do than I first thought.

      I'll hopefully have some better, natural light pictures on Thursday when I tow it back to the garage. Once I get all the trim and lights put back on I'll mount the race wheels and snap a few pictures.

          It wasn't my first choice, but I wanted a car that stood out compared to the other cars I race nationally. I would never daily drive that color.

            I live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

                  Usually, but on a national level that really isn't considered abnormal. Especially in F Street Prepared, cheap econoboxes with super wide tires are par for the course. There was only one FSP car at Nationals last year that had a tire less than 255 in width.

                    Well purple should make it stand out. Lime green works too

                      Lime was an option, but there is already a BMW 2002 painted Dodge Charger green.

                          The car came home today and it looks pretty good in sunlight. The paint shop still has the rear bumper and a few little trim pieces, but I got everything else put back together.






                          I also did a rough Photoshop of the required graphics.



                          And then I got really bored.

                            Who did the paint? I really would like a complete paint job but no shops around here seem to want to do it.

                            All I ever hear is the value of the car is less than that of a complete paint job blah blah blah

                                if you don't mind me asking, what did it run you for dropping the car off in prepped condition?
