Found something...


I think that's the same car.

BTW Ray, I'm in the process of getting together everything to repaint parts I have to go on the FC. After today I've got everything except the paint and a few small materials. If I end up doing a decent job maybe you'll give the silver one a shot...

Could be. Nice looking car in any event.

I'm one step ahead of you Brett, I did the black trim and touched up the silver metallic over the weekend and plan to add clear coat this week, as soon as the spray gun and paint arrive in the mail.

Looking good. I've been meaning to give you some crap about that window trim

If you have any tips or tricks for spraying paint I'd love to hear them. I'm thinking about shooting Dave a PM soon to ask a few newbie questions.

Dave is the man on spray painting, I'm just feeling my way and make lots of mistakes that could have been avoided if I wasn't so bull headed to think I can do that, couldn't be that difficult.

And Brett, as I recall it was your crap about my window trim (together with Michael's comments about my multicolored bumper) that got me thinking maybe I should do something about it.

Anybody going to the OGTA meeting tomorrow night?

We look forward to meeting you and that pretty FB!
That is not Tender Blue and you know it, Blue.

I am surprised anyone finds the meets the way Ray gives directions. FBJason, the name of the place is Twisted Tavern, on Horizon Drive, Suwanee.

I am plannig to be there. But, the Blue One is going to be not feeling the love. I have not done any work on it in a while.

That's what I was thinking. I tried searching through some meets from last summer/ fall but came up empty handed...

I plan on being there Tuesday.

Be nice to see some FC's for a change, they've been kind of scarce lately.

Yes I've got seat rails for Fred, seats for Alex, rotors for Greg and some damaged but serviceable taillights and other "junk" that I need to get rid of.

See ya'll this evening Holly!

Sorry to hear that Mike. Our thoughts are with Michelle.

And yes, I still have the tacky black rubber strut covers on The Silver One.

Donnie and I were plan on coming, but his SA needed work, and my lazy butt dont feel like driving all the way across town in the 90 degree heat and traffic, so will have to see everyone in Sep.
I will tell Fred to pickup those seat rails himself. =)

Sorry to miss you RP. I'll bring Fred's seat rails along just in case somebody else from your neck of the woods shows up.

who is the guy with the black FC with black wheels? I keep seeing that car on Craigslist FS for over a year now...
Oh..also, the FBs are putting the FCs to shame...why do I keep seeing FCs with busted bumpers and paint, when the 30 yr old FBs are in way better condition? I am starting to associate FCs with those 240 kids.........
