New Pics and 2nd Place Trophy

[JOHN V.]

Now that is what I am talking about! I have been waiting for you to do that for a while. It looks better than I imagined it would. The red is something you do not see all the time. The Expedition is ok, but I think you got ripped! That looks like a first place truck to me, but I guess I am a bit opionated over it. Good Job!

Here's something that should interest you, TAS98xlt...
I also belong to a Porsche forum, and I posted your picture about how Explorers could look good, and this was a reply "I like it, Saleen's work. XP-8, I like Steve Saleen's work, especially his S7." Not sure if you like the Saleen or not, but atleast youre getting the "respect" or whatever of a major tuner. Good Job, keep it up! (Although I had to correct the poster about the XP8 mis-id haha)

Damn tas What can I say it looks great man. nice job

 

[TAS98xlt]

Hey, that's pretty cool. It's nice to know other people like it and may think it's a Saleen. But I prefer to make it a little different maybe better, the way I like it. Thanks, guys!

I dont know how red you want to go... but the plastic piece between the hood and the windshield could go red =P

How hard was it to paint the side view mirrors?

you gotta tint the ornage part on your tails red =P

Ted, Like I said before your truck is beautyful! Fantastic job!

Yea, When I go to shows or the track I like to hang arround just away from the truck and listen to everyone talk. And that is one thing I hear all the time too... "Dayum, Look at that Saleen Explorer! That is one great looking SUV."

Oh well, Silly people that don't know what they are taking about! LOL

 

[TAS98xlt]

Yeah, I plan on getting that plastic piece painted sometime soon. As for the mirrors, my painter said he used a steel wool to take out the rough texture then sanded it smooth. Followed by a flexable primer, then matching paint and then the clearcoat.

Oh, and get this the last time I was at the track. They have the anouncer broadcasted over the radio on 92.7 FM. So I always listen to hear what he is saying. So I am rolling down the track and he said "Look at that nice Jeep, man it is fast too!"

I was like "WTF" A JEEP?!? You A$$H0|3!
