THIS COULD BE THE NEW SHOW OPENING

dam lou your a bad ass!

thats awesome. So there is going to be a new show? I like the video, I would try another song or something, it seems to happy or peppy for the video content.

Hells yeah!  Progress in a concept is always a good thing!

We shot the pilot. I'm turning a couple of 40 foot Mil vans into dug outs.

it looks like its going to be an interesting show, I studying mechanical engineering and processing and the show looks like its going to deal with a lot of that.

   Personally, I'd go more with a suck your eyeballs out, full blast on the interstate shot with maybe something like Led Zeppelin. Then again, my parents always thought I was a bit odd.

   At first glance, it seems to be a bit towards the low rider side but I've seen your other work so if you continue with your previous style, it'll be worth the watching. Nothing wrong with low riders, it's just not my preference. I've always thought the bouncing of a car just to see how high it would bounce was unusual, but it's not my car so I shouldn't judge. I'm teaching a niece to drive and the first thing I've taught her is to respect and care for her equipment. Then again, I also fired 3 blanks out the window with my .38 while telling her to panic stop. If looks were daggers, I'd have had a shirt full of holes. She did just fine and didn't skid. I've already gotten her the first car. Wonder what you could do with this one Lou? No, that's not her leaning against it. That's her good looking uncle, me. :-)

thats crazy comsmicfrog. Two words on what I would do to it, 4g63t swap.

Can't wait to see it!

   Nah, this is her first car and those are pretty much expendable. I was going to buy two courses at a performance driving school (one for her and one for me) but the closest one like what I want is 400+ miles away. I'm thinking more of a custom paint job. Her leash when she gets the car will be about 4 inches long. Absolutely NO alcohol, tobacco or cell phone usage while driving will be permitted. The custom paint job will be so she can't say "That wasn't me".

   Since the car is red, I was thinking of a large diagonal stripe from the drivers side windshield post to the right headlight. Something like 4 to 8 inches wide. Partway down the hood, splitting off to the left side will be a white stripe passing just in front of the power bulge on the hood. This will give it a red, white and blue format while being unique enough that I'll see it (along with my friends on the police and sheriffs departments) from a long way off. Plus, there won't be 20 just like it in the parking lot. It'll also look nice enough that she will respect the iron. That's one reason I asked Lou what he would do. I'm sure he could think of some things that are simple, unique and readily serviceable after completion. Custom machine work is fine but if it breaks down on the road, you can't get replacement parts.

   I've already met an associate of the previous owner. I had just opened the door and heard his name, some rude comments and that my butt was about to be kicked. I didn't even try to look pleasant as I got out. I'm also a good head talled and about 50-75 pounds heavier than the previous owner.

silly ricers when will they ever learn, they always think they have something to prove. if you want some cool paint for the car I was checking out alsacorp paint products. They stand out big time. Since you met an associate of the previous owner I would do a wheel swap and paint change, and some chrome headlights.

   Nope, I will change what I feel like changing. Nobody tells me to do this or that beyond what the law says is required. I generally try to look reasonably pleasant. However, my back gives me trouble at times, like when I was getting out that day and I've been told my face can curdle milk when I look like that. Mr. Friendly took one look at me and decided to go elsewhere.. Now, if they give my niece trouble, they better be able to run faster than I can with that ball bat. As much as I try to treat all my nieces and nephews the same, I'll be the first to admit I probably dote on this kid a bit.

   I am trying to find some different wheels I can paint black. I do this on most of my cars. Black wheels with chrome lug nuts and paint the drums in back and calipers in front a bright color. Partially to prevent rust which holds heat and partially because I think it looks sharp.

   A fellow I work with does decent paint and doesn't charge an arm and a leg. I may have him do a little custom work.

sounds like a plan

Who are you shopping the show to, Lou? Or is a deal in the works?

i bet its going to be on TLC or Discovery

Nah - Speed Channel all the way.

Sweet opening if it is used.  Can't wait for the show.
