Well, I figure all the weight added will be around 400 pounds. I've hauled that much back there before(used my car to haul stuff while moving...including 5 big batteries) and it doesn't do to bad really.

The car will do fine. It's not like you're going to be drag racing. . . maybe db drag racing. . . but that's about it.

How the hell is it that I've never seen this thread? Wierd!

Anyway, thanks to no-scion for being a jerk on another thread and prompting me to look at his other jerk posts leading me to find Chris' thread! HOORAY!

You know you can just ask if you need stuff bro. Take care over the holidays. Maybe I'll see you for New Years!

The actual reason Chis hasn't finished yet is pie that tastes like Christmas! Ask him about it!

400lbs? well, there goes your capacity for haulin fat chicks. your loss dude.

And about your looks, i'm thinking more like Cow Bell Ferrel



if you need extra dough, you could always hang in the phish parking lot and sell some beads or something. just playing around.

Awesome concept and we're all excited about its completion. I'm a computer guy and admire people with skill like yours. Cheers!

I think it's awesome that you are doing this. I know how things go when it comes to your car. My car has been in the shop since July. Just sitting there all torn apart waiting to be put back together again. I bought a house and it put things on hold for me.

It'll get done. There is no rush on something like this. Take your time and make it right.

I know I can't wait to see it done though. That's really cool.

Crazy idea, I like it. But how do you find out to do crazy custom stuff like that? I'm all for custom anything, i know it takes some money, but even if i had money i don't know how to do this kind of stuff. Where did you guys learn all of this?

look at his sig

Head of sales for Elemental Design Audio in Iowa

I believe his first star was when he tore into his old Neon. Just get out there and practice and try stuff out. Look for things on the internet to help if possible!

Ok...so I figure I should update all you guys

Had some unexpected money issues a while back...will have that taken care of in 2 weeks after taxes...so I haven't really had any money to pick up the needed glassing materials. But...hooray taxes and $1800 on it's way to my bank account...turns out you can claim your new tC + moving 600 miles which works out to get you a good refund.

As far as where I learned to do extremely stupid things to my car, sexy was right. I had a Neon that I sacrificed a lot of pieces out of. I dremeled/Roto-Zipped away huge chunks of that car...then totaled it and got a tC...good call on my part

Good to hear from you again! How did you claim the tC by the way? Uncle same takes a huge chunk outta my **** every year, so I would love to be able to claim more. Did you claim it as a work vehicle?
