Blog Title: My DSM cronical
Well I thought this would be cool to start as a daily record of what is going on with my car. I was'nt really sure about it until I had other members start asking me about mods I had previously done and realized you can't understand the future without first learning about the past.
I work on it just about everyday and have been really altering it to the point where it is no longer a daily driver anymore and just a "money pit" as my wife calls it. If she only knew.....
My goal is a somewhat stock appearing/but you know its faster than stock look. I'm not fanatacial about this as you can tell by the 19" rims. I really don't care if there to heavy, I just like the way they look on the car.I just want a fun car that looks good and can scare the shit out of my neihbor with the Z06 vette.
I do almost all of my own fabrication work within reason just out of a sense of pride by doing it myself. So far I have tought myself how to do TIG/MIG welding on a novice scale and limit myself to parts that if they break will not cause my death or total destruction of the car. I also learned how to do Composite work on a novice scale also and plan on doing alot more. I've come to really enjoy making, and designing pieces for the car now.
So I would like to start out as to the current state of the car and go from there. I've gotten to the point were I don't like to leave anything the way it was designed to be and come up with these crazy ideas for parts while I dream at night about rainbows and teddy bears.
Crap gotta get ready for work finish this tonight.

Well its been awhile since my last blog entry so I thought I would start again since i'm working on the car again after recovery from my crash. So I picked up this FG front clip that I thought would look good on the car. Turned out looking to ricy. So I do what I always do cut shit up the way I want it to look. This is just the ruff in but I got it were I want it. Not bad ?? I like the look of the original clip but wanted to add something and really didn't like what was out there.

It would look better in my opinion if you cut the part that covers the side blinkers, make it the same height as the rest, like just a lip. if you get what im tryin to say.
Kinda like this. but cleaner.
