Congratulations Orange Krate he looks sweet! I thought it might be a miscarriage for a minute.
Maybe get them to paint a few items inside the engine compartment as well as the license plate holder for the circumcision on that poor bumper.

Waiting for our cars to arrive reminds me of poker- countless time spent in complete boredom punctuated by sickening horror.

Gorgeous car! I guess you beat me to the line! Dealer called tonite and i was at work and couldnt answer.... when i called back it was too late. I actually drove to my dealer tonite after work and obviously everyone was gone....

But...

There was a tractor trailer who was unloading some vehicles!! The guy wasnt around or else i would have asked him if he dropped off an IBM LT RS...

Now i cant sleep! Put more pics of your car, that color is sweet as hell!

Btw, you need to change that "Coming soon"! =D

Glad to see you got to spend a few moments with your new born SON........Treat him well and he will grant you with the same kindness.

Congratulations Orange Krate !!

Glad you have your newborn with you.

One item that you may (or may not) know about is that the computer operates based on input, therefore to get optimal performance you may want/need to drive you new baby pretty aggressively right from the start. Members that did not complained of poor performance, other members

...uh, yeah, other members ran their cars hard right off the lot and the performance was impressive.

No Ghost flames and no dealer painting graphics...

They will be GHOST stripes... not so obvious stripes because they will be done in an orange/gold pearl. I am looking at various painters now and have found a custom painter in San Fernando who has an impeccable reputation and over 30 years experience in same location. In fact I use to deliver sheet metal parts to him over 30 years ago when I worked for a Chevy dealership for a year.

Thanks 2Unique4U/Blake! I love the IOM the minute I saw it. BTW... here are two more photos to add to my documentation collection. The salesman, Dave, has been running out and snapping pics for me since I am at work trying to make a buck to pay for Orange Krate's enhancements!

This is a shot of the base coat after the primer, and then the clear coat. This was shot in the heated booth. These puppies should be ready to hang on the car tomorrow. We shall see. A trip to the Credit Union tomorrow, a cut check, and this baby is in my GARAGE and home to Daddy!!! Whose your Daddy!

Thanks Speedster!! Being the old paramedic that I am, and fireman that I once was... I fully understand where this is going! LOL I keep trying to tell my wife about the movie "Vanishing Point" (A Mopar owner's dream) but she is too young to remember that movie!!! I am going to rent it and let her watch it AFTER Orange Krate comes home! I can hear her now... "GREAT!!!!" (In a sarcastic tone) My reply..."It is better to burn out then to rust out."

Oh yeah - Vanishing Point. Good flick. Some other good ones - Bullit, Gumball Rally, Dirty Mary & Crazy Larry, LeMans, Gone in 60 Seconds...
and the new feature film "Orange Krate takes Simi Valley"
