thanks!
I picked up 600lbs of blast media for my blast guy today...if you think 100 lb sack isnt heavy, think again...I would NOT mess with a guy who loads/unloads those all day long.

back in the day (not so long ago lol) I had a hidden system on my 1994 Mustang Cobra...of course it had lots of other goodies, pulleys, tires, x-pipe, flow masters, timing bumped, K&N air filter, Cobra R hood, Cobra R wheels, 3.73 Gears, and of course a bag of Nitrous, bag of nitrous you ask...yes just what it says, its a compu car 10 lb bottle, one solonoid, one power cord (resembling a radar detector 12v cord). a very small nylon line that goes from the single solonoid to in front of the Air filter, oh and a push button on a curley cord that would just reach the drivers hand (which i kept between the seat and the console.)
the kicker was this....the bottle was mounted in a GYM bag on a board.
The trick i used was I would put it behind the passenger seat, let that seat all the way back and lay the seat back to basically touch the rear seat....if someone lost a race and swore i had nitrous, I would open the hood, the trunk and say "well if I have nitrous on here you find it"! NOONE EVER DID!
fast forward to modern day....my slick has no BACK seat! lol

Just an ole GYM bag right?


If you were a betting man, You'd Lose!!!

Just a personal preference, but I don't care to have the bottle and setup anywhere near where I'm sitting
I used a cheater bottle behind the passenger seat in one of my roadsters, but it worried me considerably, and I'd remove it when not needed.
Guess I'm just getting old (and prefer to continue doing so

oh I agree, behind the passenger seat there is a little cushion- however i wasnt running a bottle heater or anything...I will likely run a bed cover and mount it back there, I have seen nitrous expolosions, one caused from a bottle heater being left on, the other by a guy heating a carbon fiber bottle with a hand held torch. Needless to say both were massive explosions, with the latter losing his life close by in Mobile, Alabama at a shop called Camaro heaven...very sad. and Very Unnecessary.

Today is Oct 25th 2012....today i brought home my cab from the blaster....It is now in epoxy primer, and tomorrow is my birthday HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!! I intend to work on my slick all day...with NO distractions....If Dennis Carpenter is correct with their deliver time, my floor pans, cab mounts should be here today or tomorrow. Hopefully today. I have long awaited this day...hopefully you will have more pictures to view tomorrow.

Some things are worth the sacrifice. The cheap food is worth it for the parts that you got.

I agree with Kevin....I have to pick a couple months of "Ramon for Dinner" so I can get me one of those fancy hood tilt sets from some guy named Kstones...

[Harper]

that hoods pretty neat, but i am gonna stick to just a plain ole stock one for awhile. I do wished someone would spend the coin to develop either a repo stock steel hood or a lightweight stock one for those of us who would like to reduce weight, in case we decide to race a bit

[Harper]

since i decided to paint my truck RED BARRON RED I decided to look up a little info on this: below is what i found.

Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen (2 May 1892 – 21 April 1918), also widely known as the Red Baron, was a German fighter pilot with the Imperial German Army Air Service (Luftstreitkräfte) during World War I. He is considered the top ace of that war, being officially credited with 80 air combat victories, more than any other pilot.

Originally a cavalryman, Richthofen transferred to the Air Service in 1915, becoming one of the first members of Jasta 2 in 1916. He quickly distinguished himself as a fighter pilot, and during 1917 became leader of Jasta 11 and then the larger unit Jagdgeschwader 1 (better known as the "Flying Circus"). By 1918, he was regarded as a national hero in Germany, and was very well known by the other side.

Richthofen was shot down and killed near Amiens on 21 April 1918. There has been considerable discussion and debate regarding aspects of his career, especially the circumstances of his death. He remains quite possibly the most widely-known fighter pilot of all time, and has been the subject of many books and films.

Richthofen was a Freiherr (literally "Free Lord"), a title of nobility often translated as Baron.[1][2] This is not a given name nor strictly a hereditary title—since all male members of the family were entitled to it, even during the lifetime of their father.[a] This title, combined with the fact that he had his aircraft painted red, led to Richthofen being called "The Red Baron" ( "der Rote Baron" (help·info)) both inside and outside Germany.[1] During his lifetime, however, he was more often described in German as Der Rote Kampfflieger (variously translated as The Red Battle Flyer or The Red Fighter Pilot). This name was used as the title of Richthofen's 1917 autobiography.[3]

Richthofen's other nicknames include "Le Diable Rouge" ("Red Devil") or "Le petit Rouge" ("Little Red") in French, and the "Red Knight" in English.

Also going to get my slicks Frame today (in black Urethane) hopefully I will have time to do all i need today, I was going to get my daughter and keep her all day but my ex is being bi polar today, so I guess that's all changed, so I will work on my slick instead....

Thanks in advance..
