Some shots I took this morning of Black Beauty with her newest customizations. As you can see, the wheel-extenders have pushed the wheels about a half inch beyond the edge of the fender flares, giving her a broader stance:

Ordered the J.W. Speaker blacked-out LED headlights and front signal lights, as well as J.W. Speaker LED tail lights. ^&cool^&cool Looking at Katz Skin leather seats . . .:wink2:

Here she is with her blacked out LED lights. Next up, blacking out the side signal lights on the front fenders, black diamond armor plate on the rear corners, and rock rails.

Why do people black out the lights? Seems counterintuitive

Now I can attest to the performance value of Black Beauty. She purrrrs, and roars. A real cat on the road. After a tour of Rich Shuster's(NY Soldier) grand showcase of toy soldiers, Marc {The Baron) and I had the pleasure of returning to Louis's home in the beast roaring through LI country roads at giddy speeds and phenominal cornering abilities. She's a beaut and a great workhorse. Use her well Louis, and it was a pleasure getting a great test ride.

Black Beauty gets her high performance air intake (which adds 10-15 horse power) and her "Spyderweb" netting for when I take the top off (it prevents sunburn and breaks the wind so your wife doesn't complaint about her hair getting blown into a bird nest) on Friday.:smile2:

Done, and that extra 15 horsepower really feels good!^&cool^&cool^&cool^&cool Her Warrior Black Diamond Plate armor for the rear corners of the Jeep (in case I knock into a tree while off-roading, and because it just looks cool) arrives tomorrow, and should be installed this weekend or next week . . . ^&cool

Neighbor just got a '64 Impala! Anyone ever own one?

Big sucker, they dont make them like that anymore.

I want!

He's pianting it red, and adding some cheesy air scoop hood and stuff! Balsphemy.


Only ONE way to fix up a '64. The "Love Machine" I told him Ive made one in 1/24 scale, and could do it to his. He looked at me like I was crazy! I mean, the nerve of some people. Am I right?

 

[Al Fisher]

Are you going to compile the results? It'd be interesting to see the trend by year or model?

Never owned one but did time on the mean streets of Chicago in 64 with my Waheeni in my 55 Merc,,tuck and roll,

I went to stop and shop today to buy some stuff for the Holidays. I come out and some idiot hit the rear passenger corner of my Jeep, breaking my brand new JW Speaker LED Tail Light and denting in the quarter panel, then just left. If my back wasn’t already out, this would have broken it. All I can think is if I had installed the corner armor when it arrived this week, the damage might only have been a broken tail light. I am so pissed!
