Bonneville Auto Wrecking - 4 Megabytes
I've been really busy lately but I thought I'd post a few pics of my car.
It was a nice day today, decided to clean the car up since it has been raining so much lately.
The pic you've been waiting for.
too bad it was rainy that day.
Overall the handling has greatly improved with the 18'*. When I say improved I dont mean you can take corners faster, what I mean is that the steering is much more crisp and you can actually feel the road. So far about 3000 miles on the dunlop'*...not bad so far, much better traction than the tires that were on there.
The car still needs some work but it is coming along nicely.

Thanks for the compliments.

No, it is currently de-modded and serving its role as a rental car right now. I'm renting it to a friend of mine until he has money for a his truck'* transmission..Gotta love the excellent craftsmanship of the mid 90s F-150 transmissions. He gave me 200 bucks so I said he could drive it all he wants for 2 months.

I'm not sure. I might go tips. I might go tint. But for now its going to stay as-is.
The car looks like crap in real life. Its nearing 200,000 miles fast and has quite a few rock chips and scratches. But hey....it looks ok in pictures though. Whats that expression....something along the lines of "dont step closer than 10 feet to the car or it looks like crap"
I love silver. it does not show ANYTHING as far as blemishes go. The car looks brand new from 20 feet away.
I'm not sure why my camera is trying to focus on everything in the scene. I like the pics you took Vince where it was focused perfectly on the car only. I cant manually focus with my camera but I can set the metering mode where it autofocuses maybe I'll play around with that some more.
