and spitfire takes first place.... its an antenna base cover... it will painted either black or windveil blue and goes right over the top of the current ugly black base.....

Yes I know I could have just resprayed the base but this is much more unique.....

It looks some 4 keys wide, way too wise for an antenna cover, which is normally 1.5 inches or so, thier tiny.

But, oh well. lol

The scale is thrown off with the keyboard in the background for multiple reasons.... here is the shot of the prototype, maybe it will help:



oh and I realize that this won't be to everyone's taste but I like it

OK... so... finally... progress...

Called the Body shop last Tuesday expecting car to be done... it wasn't!! Told them I would be out of state Wednesday so it had to be ready for Thursday morning as I was going out of state again Thursday afternoon...

Called Thursday morning and to my amazement it was actually done... Yay!!

So anyways go check out the first thread for two new photos of the striped car and new wing.... Unfortunately when I picked the car up it was raining solid and as I said a few hours later I had to leave for Texas... I'll try and get some more next weekend as I'm going out of state again tomorrow for the whole week.....

Stripes look sweet on the car. Not much of a wing-man myself though. Anyhoo, have fun on the trip. Gimme word if your in the Houston area.

you're always busting people for being politically incorrect, so it feels kinda cool to remind you that a wingman is a sidekick.

Bust people for being politically incorrect? Don't you mean being illiterate? I'm politically incorrect and proud of it. And I used it in the context like saying I'm not a boob-man or honda-man or something of the sort. In this case, the wing on his car, I'm not much of a wing-man, wings on the car.. And beyond that if you want to get into the double (subliminal) meaning of things, yes I'm not much of the side-kick either. I'm ****ing Batman.
