It's Back...With A Vengeance!

All of the King's Horses and all of the King's Men did their damnedest but ultimately the body shop had to lend a wrench and now I have her back, just in time for an ADVENTURE on some local fire roads :)
I feel like before the accident when she was pure silver so was her soul...after being assaulted by this world and sporting a newly blackened front end there is something darker at play in her now, maybe it's the paint, maybe it's Sue's mirror probably donated be some evil VX precursor transplanted onto my steed...vehicular cannibalism!

It looks great!

you're a very creative writer! :thumbup:

and which one is you...blond or glasses?

oh BTW....we all hate you living in Santa Barbara and being so close to the beautiful mountains and ocean for pics!
:ot:....Company I worked for for 25 yrs, moved their HQ building from Los Angeles to SB in '94 (3820 State St).....but I was able to stay in an LA field office, but I had to go to SB quite a bit....someobdy's gotta do it! :slap:
Then a merger took place and they moved HQ to Dallas, TX...and I went with them! :thumbup:

I'm the glasses one, the other guy is one of my best buds, he's saved my life before (heimlich) I have a degree in English hence the elevated diction :) I am not a huge fan of SB being that I have frost in my veins, but for now the hills here are pretty nice. Thanks again for all of your help! PS the mechanic told me how you thanked him for working on my truck instead of totaling it :)

Sorry no before pics, I hit a semi truck tire on the highway outside of Parker AZ, blew out the window, lost the mirror, hit some road signs, lost rear passenger cladding and metal bent all up, repainted passenger side and hood. Turned out alright but I keep finding safety glass all up in the cab :)

Welcome back, and welcome to the black hood club. Sorry ebony's, you guys not aloud in, unless you paint it white :p .

p.s. Sorry that you have an evil mirror. Just Choke a chicken, slap a frog on and I think that should do it. ;)

:naughty: In return for my help, here's all ya gotta do: get your buddy Jessie to start cranking out those front tube bumpers and skid plates..:yeso:...with me first in line for the tube bumper! :thumbup:
I'd even remove my front ABS skid for that sometimes.

he'd do it for anyone, tell him how many are wanted and he'd whip em up...but they'd be spendy I'm guessing

I had to cut the whole front end off pretty much, about one inch below the fog lights.

Yah, I've met Sue. After that, I've decided that we have to re-define what "deep end" means in order to describe where she's headed.:)
