Title: a sad day and a new beginning...
Post by: Nate on October 14, 2009, 06:12:01 PM
sped the white car... video can be seen here (http://"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWdNIOcAswU")

those of you who may remember me might ask, why did you get rid of that car, it was awesome!... well, I've had that car since i was 17 and considerably less learn-ed in the way of the car lol, so needless to say, there were some ef'd up jobs on it. I'm excited tho, its a new beginning, everything on this car will be done right. now that I'm staying someplace i can finally work on it, ill be able to get things done.

I'll fill you in on what I've been up to: I've moved like 3 times in the last year, broke both shoulders, cracked a rib, had a metal shaving cut out of one eye, and a bunch of other miss haps... but now, I've finally started on the black car i got to, well..., start over with. first things first, tc hood, then header panel. maybe tail lights next. here is it's first picture.

Worked WAY too well for me.  It's just disturbing to see a big fox destroyed.

Sad to see it go. You should put your Mustang rims on this one. I've always loved those rims.

No offense, but it looks like that car was parked infront of a power washer for a couple of days. Compared to some of the cars I've posted pictures of over the years, I'm really not the one to talk. I used to show kids at school your old video's. Whats really funny is I started out with a cougar, and now I'm driving around a white bird.

That vid is disturbing. Did you date the operators daughter or something?  That guy was raining down the hate on that poor fox.

Agreed. How are you recovering?


But just out of curiosity, is the car crushed the same one in your sig doing a massive burnout? What happened to it?

Well, I was grinding welds and a piece of metal cooked into my eye. Dam thing went right under my safety glasses deep enough my eye dr had to use a drill and spend 2 visits milling it out. Thank god my eyes ok tho, a little off and it woulda messed up the lens.

The solders and rib got messed up in my ju-jitsu/karate class I take every other day. Those are healed up good now too. Guess I'm getting old lol...

Btw yes that's the same car getting crushed that's in my signature. I've had the car almost 10 years but the welding I did to it on the frame for the sub frame connectors/torque box plates wasn't very good and rusted badly... The mustang k member was messed up, and a recent storm dropped a dam tree on the quarter. Last time I was at the track I had it in high 13s, all the stuff that was done to it is listed in the car domain link below.

lol, yeah crash, don't tell Amy! she'll kill me lol... that girl was a stripper for a while. o and yeah, back to the car lol, all the welds under the body had gotten rusted pretty badly, the sub frame connectors were ef'd up from when i did them when i was like 17 and couldn't weld... it seems like not much, but it always bothered me and after the tree fell on the quarter, i said to hell with it, i have another I'm starting over.
