Damn dude, you're a wealth of info. Really appreciate you sharing it! I'll talk with my friend and see who her contacts are up there already, might be kinda trippy if they're a friend of a friend of yours or something along those lines as she's already made a few contacts and potentially has an in at a studio. She's very familiar with protools, a bit of cakewalk, and a boat load of other stuff she explained to me that shot over my head.

I'll shoot you a pm and take this sub conversation elsewhere so the thread doesn't become a car audio thread haha. Thanks again man!

Eh, he's just trying to be a nice guy, talking through the PM system is working out well. I'm getting to know him a little better.

That Camaro is absolutely stunning. I can say, without hesitation, it's in the top 3 of the nicest "restored" classic I've ever seen. (That wasn't on TV or something)

My father's Chevelle had a 427, no where near as beautiful as that car though. Overall I just like the look of the Camaros better I think.

But that one...she's a stunner boy. Really nice job man. That engine bay brings tears to my eyes.

thanks junk, I'm kinda partial to hydraulic roller motors, I'm gettin too old to be adjusting valves, does a job on my back...

boo · Aug 12, 2015

this beast is up on blocks and has been for 8 months, added power disc brakes and ended up in the hospital just after getting it all done albeit a few clamps...gotta get a little stronger to finish her...big block, 4 speed, and posi...

tobh · Aug 12, 2015

al frey, she's gorgeous! I'm envious of your hydraulic rollers as well! Getting real tired of having to adjust my valves every 5k miles, damn old Datsun ohc. Love the sound though, get asked if it's a v8 often just from the sound, despite the fact it's an inline 6.

forgot to post up a sweet azzz car. alfa rameo 8c competizione. the entire interior pre-peg carbon fiber (all door panels, dash, seat backs, center console, floors, truck hatch cover, everything. this is for the carbon fiber lovers.

iirc a 280,000.00 price tag

I have a crap load more of Lamborghini superleggera/spyder/merci pics, rolls Royce + phantom and a 50,000.00 star light interior headliner (what a waste of $$), Bugatti, Bentley, Maserati, Ferrari, and some custom 1-off paint jobs on some Camaro's and tribute/rescue vehicles. I might have the twin towers 9/11 fallen heros tribute vehicle somewhere.

I'll take 2...quite the bargain compared to a bugatti...I'd love to say I own this rig but it's spoken for...dutch and I would be cruisin if he had her to drive...and of course we need out favorite beverage...

last pic dump

1st 2 are concepts

red/black super car (hood opens forward) is a Spyker. they used to make airplane engines. super bad ass car and super light, super fast, but with a hefty price tag to boot. they build the car to suit YOU.

boo · Aug 12, 2015

dream cars, all of 'em...I'm down with imports and hand builts but sure can't afford one after doing all the Camaro's and other muscle cars...took me 5 years to build my chevelle...it won 49 ISCA first place awards and cost me my wife and home...hmmm

tobh · Aug 12, 2015

Would still take that white Ferrari over the rest of them any day. That GT-40 would be mighty fine as well despite my animosity towards the shitty manufacturer that made it.

boo · Aug 12, 2015

bbbbbbuutttttt theres a bigatti there tobh, a freakin Bugatti...don't hate ford just because they wiped the track with enzo and took top 3 places...all with this new car made for just that...the rest is history...

tobh · Aug 12, 2015

Bugatti's are cool and all but I have a thing for 180 degree crankshafts, 45 degree blocks and 10k RPM redlines. A v12 sucks more gas than a v10 does too. That white Ferrari just looks classy.

I hate on ford's because I've watched their transfer cases explode while four wheeling, their four cylinders are gutless, and they live up to the old addage fix or repair daily. Hell, their gas cap doors can't even stay closed passed warranty. Lol

tobh · Aug 12, 2015

Not nearly as bad as Pontiacs though. Ewww. Don't get me wrong on that, I would LOVE to get my hands on an old GTO. One of the sexiest, albeit most boat-like, muscle cars ever imo.

boo · Aug 12, 2015

I'm a little partial to the '65 goats tobh, 66-68 looked land yatchish and the '69 forward were just bloated whales...I miss my chevelle

heres a little maintenance cost for the Veyron

each tire is 3500.00 EACH one!!!
40,000.00 1st maintenance
its been since 06 since I worked there so my brain is a bit foggy
but remember, you don't get all 1001 hp w/o inserting the key in the special slot, that voids ALL warranties. also the Veyron has 8 "Black boxes" like in airplanes. all data logging every system inch of the car.

we (well they) did some test runs with the Veyron at the track, and had some 110 race fuel (15 35 gal drums) flown in for the event. after 5 passes the clouds rolled in and the show was cancelled. well they had 10 drums of fuel left......guess who got them, ME!!! I ended up flipping them for 100 a drum.

@DemonTrich

Please don't make that your last pic dump!!!!!

I'll take the white Ferrari too, but I want that Lambo paint job on it. Is it just me or is that matte paint? I love mattes.

110 octane race fuel? Holy smackdown. Around here we can get 106.

I wonder what my Subie would have done with 110!

Some people have asked so I'll just put it up here. That STI had a standalone ECU installed. It's an AEM unit & it has launch control, extremely good launch control. The only better one I've seen is the one that comes stock with the GTR.

This guy does not have his set right but this gives you an idea of how good it is.
