well off to half wrap a fire truck, i hope its gravy.
Wow a fire truck that's huge. I'll try to make it there by 4

Ya i know its a canned tune but it's so close to the GMS1 you'd think they would put a bit more effort into it for that much money

if you seen what i have touched you would be in awwwwww. i have done some serious high profile jobs in my time. tell you the truth i can not go anywhere without seeing some of my work. a fire truck is small potatoes. i think my most favorite exp was wing walking a 737.

4 is fine i suspect we will be there later then that for sure.

Pretty sure I got a bad batch of gas from the cranston petro yesterday. Car starts fine then leans out and sounds like its choking. After cruising around a bit she levels out fine. Just in case anyone gets gas at the Cranston petro, be warned lol

thx for the warning, you know i go there sometimes.

well we almost got done in time. we had about half hour left of work before the truck got called out on emerg. it took less then 1 min for us to get them in a place they could drive and for them to get going. that was maybe the craziest 1 min of my life. lol

yes a 737 is crazy. whats even worse is the standards that we must obey by. just to even get into the behind the scenes at the airport is a chore. 1 maybe 2 guys are allowed to cut on the plane( usually the best installers). they can ground a plane if you cut to deep. or if anything happens no matter what they can ground the plane. its a high pressure, high stress job sometimes. i literally have to be perfect on most days at work. i am the final product.

i dont know what he has in it but it was modded. i was on the 2.8 at the time and alot less parts. i believe i even had the phenolic spacer in at the time, in which i had removed since then. i lost, my front fender was on his rear quarter. also there was a bit too much traffic for my liking. all in all it was a good time, and i know for a fact the results will be different now.
