Nice work JJ. I put out 32 bales of pine needles and powerwashed part of the driveway and a retaining wall. I also picked up Lola from my dad's. He rebuilt the carb for me. Awesome guy he is.

Nice Gary, looks like you are going to have plenty to keep you busy. Keep us updated on the progress.

That's awesome Chris. What event(s) did he compete in?

100 meter dash. Ran it in under 30 seconds. We are all pretty proud of him. Lots of high fives, yeah.

I was born in Cookeville,Tn. and moved to Houston,Tx. It was so violent at night I moved again to the coastal bend near Port Lavaca,Tx. Semi-retired so I can run thru the twisty's & fish for trout & redfish.

I painted my calipers this weekend. I used the G2 Deep Impact Blue color matched paint kit. In hindsight, I should have bought the kit they offer that allows you to spray the paint on instead of brushing it on because the smooth finish of the Brembos shows more of the brush marks than I care for. I even tried using a foam brush and while it helped, still left a bit to be desired.

Overall, I'm very happy with the results. I chose the white Brembo decal to give it some pop. I will say that the calipers seem a little darker than the car, but that could also be due to them being tucked in the wheel well.

Here's the best I could manage for now in terms of pics. It's hard to capture the color with my phone. They almost look midnight blue or black in most of them.

Looks good, I used a G2 kit years back on a car. Pretty good for the price.

I think it matches pretty good with the DIB.

Been down there many times. We were going to SPI when there was just a few condos and restaurants. Never have stopped In PLV though. How is it there? Any good shrimp?
