New Pics (((FINALY)))

Post by crush »

Just got back from the lake with these. Image Image Image Image Image Image 13 is my one of my lucky numbers so I had to have this. Image Don't know if you can make it out through the glare but this is a 44 Mag. shifter. I got it because I thing going Bonnie and Clyde with it. Little known fact the 44 was Bonnie's gun of chose power and accuricy. Image Image Finally I took these at the old fort (Fort Phantom). The grounds keeper was gone so I couldn't get in the gates for more pics. Image Powder Shed Image Jail house Image

So is the passenger side one. :wink: I think it actually looks pretty good there, IMO.

Car looks nice, I like the shifter. Very unique. Nice choice on wheels too. The black/chrome lip looks good with the white.

Thanx yall. Yes I know their in the wrong spot. I moved them because I thought they'd look meaner there. I think it is the little changes that make your car stick out the most. I'm all about moving, removing, and adding new emblems on car as long as it's done tastefully. :glasses7:

Badges are alright, its definitely not a BAD alternative place for them, but still prefer them on the doors.

My next question would be...why on earth do you have an SE grille? I mean, it doesn't look bad by any means, but I can't figure out why you'd want that over an SSE/i grille.

Next suggestion is GOOD LORD CLEAN YOUR INTERIOR. :lol:

Not bad on the outside tho. :)

The grill was slit in two when I bought it so I took the grill off my SE parts car. The rear window was also busted out and it was left in the weather for 3-4 years before I got it and the whole interier was water damaged. I haven't been able to get it completely clean so I am working on replacing every thing.

Yes! Another dedicated Bonneville investor. Welcome to the club. Your interior may be bad, but it's still good enough to use... I think those badges look awesome on the fenders. Too bad it's my K&N spot, or I'd definitely consider it. Very nice car overall. Hope to see more improvements. :)

Sweet! Thats what I thought I saw in that one blurry pic you posted, the badge on the fender but it was way too blurry so I couldn't tell. But I kinda like that, and the car looks awesome! Tinted tails, clear corners and a proper grille and that'll set 'er off nicely I think.

Just a little photographic help here, your wheels will look great if they are not in such a deep shadow, with a white car or most anything don't shoot at high noon or anywhere near that time as the sun is directly over head and washes out the top of your ride and places deep shadows down low. Either between 6am-9am or 5:30pm-8pm when the sun is more extremely angled with it at your back shoot the car and see the difference.

If you would insist on shooting midday then at least use a flash or another artificial light source like a reflector to create fill light in the shadows. It is why press photographers and fashion photogs use flash in the daylight.
You've done a very good job on the ride so far, keep up the good work.

Yea new camera is a cheapy 100$ and I'm having to learn stuff like that the old was a 750$ Nikon and an idiot could take great pictures with it, but it just stopped working about 2 months after the warranty was up. I really appreciate the advice and I will have to try that next time I get a good photo op. times might be little different here this Texas sun gets intense early and seems to stay higher later.
