very nice! have you started a build thread yet? at 10 posts the classifieds will open up for you.

holy CRAP!! It just dawned on me that the sticker is a short bed! that has to be addressed for this sticker run.

moving to tech so more eyes will see it.

my new lights are here! maybe tomorrow I'll get some good weather to wire them in.

I know, right! the side caps are still black on the chrome bumpers. maybe a future edition will be a view of the back of the truck.

this is our final version that will be used on the card on the flowers for tomorrow's funeral service. we now have some time to think about any final alterations for the tribute stickers. (aside from putting the ".com" back of course) I've given some thought to adding words (as I did to the flower card), but nothing I've come up with ever feels right for the sticker. I can't imagine anyone seeing it that doesn't already recognize his truck will ever get help from adding in words. I dunno. it feels like the truck image itself will be the best way to honor him. We all know what it means. :)

flowers are ordered. It'll be a chrome vase with a big pile of red and white roses and some silver ribbon in it and they will thrown in some extra card holders for customization by the family using our images. should be nice. :)

damn, that's nice!

wow, is that as clean as it looks?

that floor looks familiar

v8 swaps can be found in the Epic Tech forum. as to the 3.4, it's a good engine if you're on a budget. It'll reuse most everything you've got attached to the current block (you'll need a balanced flywheel and inline fuel pump). or, for maximum improvement, you can swap in the entire camaro 3.4 including accessories and fuel injection. the FI harness is stand alone and I'm told pretty easy to deal with. in the end though, it's no v8, so if you've expecting tire shredding, neck snapping acceleration, a 6 cylinder won't necessarily do that.

just message me a name/address and I'll send ya some along with a magnet

feel free to encourage him to upload more pics.

that's why we have club cards! are you in need of some to hand out?

we have until Dillon gets off work late tonight to suggest changes. tomorrow morning I'll order the flowers and email the images to Nate (Don's soninlaw) who has agreed to print them up for us. everything seems to be coming together. I didn't even notice the cab. that's how it is on our logo decal (which this new image is based on and which I've stared at like a million times while weeding the decals) and I see that they are even on the magnet and business cards (which are an older version and closer to my original drawings). interesting.

current version. turns out that chrome doesn't work well on a jpeg image of a silver truck and so the shiny items are black instead. I'm dropping the .com for this purpose, but it'll return for the official sticker. I'm open to tweaks to make it even better.

we could also use digital words like we've all shared and compile them into printable form for the meantime.

had the thought that maybe the funeral home could print them up for me and stick them in the arrangement, but that'll have to wait til morning as they are closed.

Rodney's can do the vase and the arrangement if I order by noon tomorrow, but they only have a b+w printer and nothing but regular paper to print an image on. what the flying hell. do I have to drive 8 hours just to get this right?

we are back in business! through a series of phone calls I've tracked down Rodney's that also has that chome vase! now to call them...

dammit. seems that shop is closed for the weekend because of a death in the family. they seem to be the only florist in Arab with a website.

I like the idea, but that would take months and so we can tackle it at a later date.

the funeral home has a huge online store with lots of big ugly arrangements. I hate them all. But I found a local florist that has an arrangement that comes in a chrome vase. I'm giving them a call.

a meteorite! icing on the cake!

I'll ask Dillon about adding in the topper. shouldn't be too hard. Don deserves much more. I just don't know what else I can do.
