Nice! I always liked the rc boats. One guy I new along time ago had a destroyer, another friend of his had a sub, they got into a dual.Sub had little torpedos(so they say). sub sank detroyer, one way or the other, Friend got revenge , rammed and sank sub.

Nice story anyway ( )

Hope Tom has a grinder I can use to finish of the posts on the other SS's for the side, got most but not all of them. Also while the nose was off painted the fog light bezels black to go with the grills. Much better looking now! All the stock ss emblems are off the car, but I'm done!

Rick, we can grind off the posts...before or after the cruise...lemme know...

Yeah, always need fab work on stuff like this! Got ss emblem for the back also in case I can take off the bowtie without messing up the vinyl. Really want to use that one instead of the ss on the corner. The bowtie is on with tape, so maybe will come off easier then the old adhesive glue they came with .

May be able to drop by after the cruise if were done in time, on the way home anyway.

I have the 3m remover, works well. the problem is when you heat up the bowtie, then use the floss to "saw it off" and pull away is where it can get jacked up and pull off the vinyl I guess.

If we have time after the cruise may stop by, we'll see.

Damn!! Looks great Rick. Great choice in mods as usual

I'm at Bryan's right now. Damn, can he install liquid transfer vinyl or what. I'm really psyched. He's doing an awesome job, and his install prices are sooooo reasonable. I couldn't be happier.
