Wren, You need to paint that bumper to match your hood. You got that fantastic, beautiful hood with an old, busted, oxidized bumper cover, kinda throws off the look there. Otherwise a *dang* fine looking car you got there. Looking forward to a vid with a smoke show.

Paco, you donate the paint, and I'll getter done. The dark yellow green metallic is the most expensive paint ever put on a Bonneville. 3 different pearls, and 2 different flake colors.

John, look at the base of the sign. :wink:

If I donate the paint, I am going to get enough for you to paint my truck too. Your skills are amazing. Your hood came out better that any of the local body shops around me could have ever done. Guess thats what I get for living in mañana land.

I bet it does a better job now than it was doing last year at this time.

I'm all packed up, just have to put "the good" tail lights back on the car for the trip down.

Yes John, it stabilizes the sign just fine. :wink:

Hope you have a nice drive down. The roads were dry all the way down. Don't tell them who you are going to see in Corvallis when you talk to the border guard if you don't want a strip search! :roll:

Paul is still sore (walking funny), and the Grizz looks like it was re-packed by a suspicious border guard.

Hey, if there's anyone near Ed who's crazy enough to make the trip down here and risk me slapping them for not coming earlier do me a favor and throw Ed in either a trunk or crate (with airholes please) and bring his sorry ass down here! :P
That'll fill the WHOLE trunk!! I wish I could come, but I'd be disowned by my real family. Sorry Katie!!!

Just replaced the bypass hose on the Grizz (Paul and Greyhare did the dogbone earlier), and rolled Matt and Wendy's 2k in for the teardown for the cam.

I'll get some pics up a bit later.

Paul was just finishing the dog bone when I got there.
A little before Bill made it home Paul went for a walk, I went home to change the oil in the Jetta.

Front seats are out of the Grizz for recline mode repair.

Matt's 2k (Wendy's really) is pretty well torn down. After we order the pizza, I'll upload a buncha pics.
