Yes, I will get copies of the ones they will use and even the ones they don't use! :thumbup: 2 Quote Link to comment
Rhapakatui Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Sweet! I usually get mt pretty early, so I'll let everyone know when it's out, but I've never gotten to see the pics that weren't chosen for the mag before. Can't wait for both. Quote Link to comment
Bob3 Posted August 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Well, I knew the day would come . . . the first dent . . . I was backing out of the garage at the track this morning, I was not paying attention, and I backed into the car that I had just parked in the way. Doohhhh ! ! ! :crying: The first one hurts the most. Quote Link to comment
Z Spool Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Ouch, well I guess it's a good thing we did the shoot when we did huh? Luckily it doesn't look too bad. Also I'll make sure to post up all the shots for everyone, including those that aren't used for the feature once it's published. Quote Link to comment
sedition88 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 It'll buff out... Sucks, but I'm sure you'll have it fixed in no time Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Well, I knew the day would come . . . the first dent . The first one hurts the most. The good news is that after that happens, you can flog it with abandon and not have to worry about getting that first dent. :devil: 2 Quote Link to comment
Ranman72 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 well I guess it is better that you did it yourself rather then some moron in a parking lot or on the street STILL SUCKS THOUGH 1 Quote Link to comment
DrColeman Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 What a bumme! First one isby far the worst! Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 You can fix that Bob, looks like you might have brushed the taillight also??? (the tape)??? Quote Link to comment
Bob3 Posted September 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 You can fix that Bob, looks like you might have brushed the taillight also??? (the tape)??? Yes, it broke the taillight and put a very small dent in the tailgate about the size of a sunflower seed. I'm so pissed at myself! Quote Link to comment

Don't beat yourself up, shit happens, be happy it is shit like this, it could be a lot worse. What happened to the other vehicle? Quote Link to comment
darrel Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 Klucking Futz! Yeah, chit happens. At least the paint is fairly new and can probably be color matched easy enough. Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 coulda been worse right? cant wait to see the magazine pics Quote Link to comment

Doohhhh ! ! ! :crying: The first one hurts the most. Too bad u'r not in the Seattle area. I know the best PDR guy ever. He does Lambo's and Ferrari's Quote Link to comment
Bob3 Posted September 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 I had my PDR guy try and he couldn't get it. It has a hidden inner wall in there, we tried & tried . . . couldn't get it. :hmm: Oh well, I LOVE THIS TRUCK ! I will get it fixed eventually. :) It is in my shop at the house for the winter now. I have a pretty long "to do" list after three years of track and street use. The list includes; new and improved racing motor mounts, new triple pass radiator, new mishimoto silicone coolant hoses, dual-friction clutch disc, improve the transmission mount at the tail shaft, fabricate E-brake cable hanger, drilled brake rotors, new brake calipers, replace front hubs, come up with a cup holder, install new matching seat belts, install a horn, replace the cheap kill-switch I bought, etc, etc . . . :thumbup: 2 Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 The bed corners are pretty thick metal...18ga maybe? I don't think they can really be pulled. Mine are riddled with little volcanoes from some idiot trying to pull them. Quote Link to comment

Mine are riddled with little volcanoes from some idiot trying to pull them. everything can be pulled with the right equipment you can use concentrated heat to soften the metal to message it easier you just need to be an expert with metal which I am not perfect example below 1 Quote Link to comment
Bob3 Posted October 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 I just found this picture of me leading Rhys Millen around the track in his Pikes Peak Hill Climb Car earlier this summer. 5 Quote Link to comment
goes2fast Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Way cool! That's a much different car than what he was driving last time I went a couple of years ago. Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 prolly before they paved the shit Quote Link to comment
goes2fast Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Yea, it was the last race before they paved the last section, the next year was the first race without any dirt. It will never be the same. There is family history for me there, my great, great uncle raced there in the late 20s and early 30s with a 1927 Chevy speedster. I used to have a pic of it sitting in front of his dealership in Alt Colorado, but my ex managed to loose it for me. More family history lost! :mad: Quote Link to comment
