"Anybody got any 6-inch spacers I can use to fill out those rear fenders?"

He he. It does look kind of goofy at the moment.

Looks like a fat girl in a short skirt...

Jack, is that a cup-holder I see you had installed? I see a drink bottle on the right side of the dash. WOW. a race car with a cup-holder.

Seriously, looks great!

Turn the camera someone!!! I saw him jack the car up, but can't see what's going on!!

work sucks today, I figured I'd watch a little TV.

BB2 is going to spend the day getting some TAIL (s) !!!

I see that now!!!

sjd

Jack, I don't think you need six inch spacers, just do a dual set of 6 inch wheels. Now that would be interesting to see.

how many tails do you have, jack???

are they going to be quick release, just in case you need a different amount of downforce for the ride to work that day??

sjd

I think everybody knows that answer - you can never have too much tail...

Only five tails. I had six, but I sold the Turbo tail.

Owning six tails is crazy. :rolleyes:

And I'm not getting the stock one painted, so you'll only see four:

964 retractable
Ducktail
IROC
3.8RS with monster wing

that's what I counted...

You've been singlehandedly responsible for me being 100% unproductive this afternoon...

hee hee...

sjd

Singlehandedly !!?? Shame on you Jack.

whatcha doing Kevin? Primer the front suspension pan?

A little etching primer to help the new paint stick and then base coat with some paint left from BB1. Then the new paint over that, as soon as that dries it'll get a shot of clear, then BAM Beautiful at last.

The artist in his studio:

"The Artist"...how kind of you. As opposed to being in my "studio" I think I'd feel more at home in a coffin !! I've got a fever of 101.3, I can't get my eye's to focus to read the numbers on the mixing cup and everytime I bend over I have to fight the urge to toss my cookies.
I need a NURSE !! A sweet red headed nurse with some home made chicken soup !! OK forget the chicken soup, just the nurse will do.

And he's working on your car Jack.

Hope you feel better. Wouldn't want you to be called the “Artist formerly known as Kevin.” ;)

[Kevin] (sobbing) But I've got a fever...I just need a little... rest......
[Jack] (with whip) Work dammit! *WHIP* I'm producing an Internet video here! *WHIP*
[Kevin] whaa!

Sorry to hear about the fever. How about I send twins?

Kevin, if you're going to puke... do it on screen! :D *yech* Think of the ratings!

Nah, just kidding. If you need a break, just tell Jack we said it was OK. ;)

Those aren't red heads !! Jeesh

Some guys are never satisfied. :rolleyes:

The really fun part of the day that you'd have to be here to enjoy is my neighbor's girlfriend or wife or what ever she is has been tearing him a new a$$ for over an hour. She hasn't shut up !! I can hear her over the compressor. Now I remember why I'm single. Course if any of my past g/f's had the "attributes" this girl has, maybe I'd put up with a little screaming once in a while.

Looks like Kevin's got it almost ready for the booth:

And, for a point of reference, here's the same thing getting done back in the day:

Jack, do you have any more of those old factory photos and the like? I'd love to see them if it wouldn't be too much trouble. Also, could you send them to my email so that they stay "full size"?

Thanks,

I'm afraid I don't, Scott. I got a scanner today, and scanned that from the Carrera RS book.

ok...Kevin are you going to watch the superbowl?
The reason I am asking is I would rather watch the BB2 project than the Raiders! Instead of the silver and black, I want to watch the primer and black! ha ha...

Kevin, you are the Osbournes of the Pelican Board

WOW! I feel sorry for those of you too young to have watched a real stripper work (as opposed to today's nude dancing bars, stripping, back in the 50's and 60's was a true art form)...but this thread is like watching a great stripper...only in reverse.

Agreed, but a real strip show costs less. ;)

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploads/Kevin023a.jpg

Edit: fixed my garbled grammar.

Isn't that the truth? No doormen, no door charge, no "two drink minimum" in those days. On the other hand, I never emerged from an old fashioned strip club to jump in a car like Jack is building...not at all. Still, I feel sorry for people too young to have ever seeen a real strip act. Like Vaudeville, those days are gone...

At the risk of sounding really stupid........I might need some explaining on this one. It might help if I had caught an episode or two, but I just didn't see the value in that show. :confused:

I think Jeremy simply meant that people can't get enough of your webcam. Just like they couldn't stop watching "The Osbournes."

Don't worry, your English is perfectly enunciated, Kevin. ;)

kinda funny strippers came up...

when I went to kevin's shop for the first time...lo and behold...what was next door?

Spirimint Rhino...LA's most famous chain of strip clubs...

now I know why kevin loves to be at the shop...

BTW hurry and get the black beast out...so my car can take center stage!!!! ;) ;) :D ;) ;)

Dave B mentioned he loved the color as well...I can't wait

MJ

Hey M.J, was that your orange license panel in Kevin's office? If so, I just saw it tonight when I stopped by to check out BB2. (Which looks friggin' awesome BTW. Nice work Kevin!)

That color orange is pretty sweet! I think you'll be very happy with the car when it's done.

yeah kevin has some tricks up his sleeve...

looks sweet

MJ

Kevin is freakin' awesome.

yeah, but enough of the black primer. When do the signal orange coats go on?!?
