Brady/My Shoot

A buddy of mine named Brady just got his car finished for the time being so he decided to go out and get a proper shoot.  Just so happens i ended up showing up as well and got some photo's snapped.
The mans name is Jason of J.M. Photography.  His Flickr is http://www.flickr.com/photos/stupeyfied/
Jason definitely impressed me with his work and i'll be looking forward to doing another shoot sometime in the future.  Maybe get some action shots at an event?  Nice work Jason!

Here's just a few of the shots taken.  Hopefully more will be added!























I had called Brady to see what was going on that night, and he told me to go ahead and swing on over so we snapped a couple of my POS as well.  My car looks crazy haggard compared to the fresh paint/kit/look of Brady's car.





Me doing something dumb.  I'm not the photogenic type.










And the mandatory cliche stickers


That's all for now.  Hopefully we'll get some action shots here in a few weeks as there is an event on Sunday, September 19th.  I know i'm looking forward to it.

Exhaust nastiness

The car has been running real well lately, it's nice to actually enjoy something you put so much work into every now and then.












Back to fixing stuff on the car.. this time, i raised the engine in the front and so my exhaust was rotated downwards in the back... finally the exhaust hanger broke in the rear from the added force and i just got around to fixing it.


And so it begins..









Can't work without food and beer! (beer not shown)






Old rusted hanger that broke, I hate going under the rear of my car because i realize how rusty it actually is..





Cut some slits in the exhaust so i could bolt it back up to the headers, raise the exhaust in the rear, then tack it back on after it's positioned.






It's not pretty, but it works.  Rest of the frame is rusted so i figured... ehhh whatever.






Smashed up from me dragging it back to the house after the rear hanger gave way






Exhaust is looking pretty beat after a few years..






looks like i should have plenty of room, even after the suspension is compressed






Hooray for ground clearance.






There is also our Team Blog i seem to be updating more than this one lately..
