Smith: So what is this, a vintage car?
Bannon: Well Smitty, some things get meaner as they get older.
Prof. Samuel Graves - Cobra Team: [about the Gumball Rally] To you this is just a stunt! Me, I've got a shot at tenure.. all I gotta do is stay out of trouble for a couple more years and I'll be set for life. I can't risk that!
Bannon: It's not a risk...it's a challenge.
Franco: [about their Ferrari] How's the bambina?
Smith: She's a-fulla gas, she's-a wait for you!
Franco: Hey, you make a good Italian!
Bannon: Hey Franco! Your mother called, she's been looking all over for you!
Franco: Now you make jokes on my mother, huh?
Bannon: No... about your mother, not on your mother. I wouldn't get *on* your mother!
Gibson - Camaro Team: [their Camaro is running hot] Jeez, can't we turn off the heater?

Chopper Pilot: Sir? We can't catch 'em.
Roscoe: Whaddaya mean?
Chopper Pilot: They must be doing 180. We don't even have a fixed-wing that'll go that fast!
Bannon: Fifty-five is fast enough to kill you, but slow enough to make you think you're safe.
Barney Donahue: You know how often my wife tried to get me to get rid of this car? Well that's German machinery for you. The car outlasted her.

Sorry. I really want to go on the moonlight run, and I still have a lot of work left to do. I'm touchy. I suppose I could go before the paint, but it would suck to be on the freeway for that long with no weatherstripping.

Just primer it. Then go on the run and check the body afterwards for cracks. :thumbs_up:

That's a really good idea actually. But don't most cracks take a year to show through? I'm sort of worried about the rear bumper, because someone else glued it on and used 10lbs of Bondo. I took off all of the Bondo, but I'll have to live with the last glue job. I'll just do the best job with the reinforced filler that I can.

Yea, the 1 year cracks are the tough ones. If there is a really stressed or shit area, it should show up right away. You see, I'm doing the crack test, it's been going on since 1973.:laugh:

Brutal, I saw this and thought of you. Not many cars can do the flat black thing, but this one works for me :hail:

Yea, way cool.:bigthumbsup:

Shirley, if you look closely, you can see that I reused the lip from the 74 bumper. I cut it off, then after I laid out the piece to fill in the gap, I carefully placed the cut off lip on the new glass and set it at the correct angle. Then I laid some pieces over the new glass connecting it to the lip. Lay some thin pieces around the curved part to connect the lips. Then drill some new holes, or clean up the old ones rather.
