Just got an email for JB over at black flame customs and he informed me that they just finished up with my lights and he sent me some teaser pics. Im loving the CCFL light stripes they put under the projector shroud. Cant wait to put theses babies on the beast.

First mods! I'm a broke ***. Recently installed a shorty antenna (not an Alta because I don't like logos) and put in my Light In Sight. Both are great!

Also, figured out how to hide specific user's posts globally... useful!

I traded out the stock antenna for the stubby one, had him washed, and filled the tank up (which is an amazing feeling knowing I went 400 miles on $35 worth of gas!)

Just one more wheel to powder coat, but I couldn’t resist setting them next to the Kid today. How’s that for stance?

First, copy the link from your browser. Then just double click on the word that you want to become the link and click on the “link” icon (earth with a chain link at the bottom). Up will pop a box where you can then paste your link. Done!

Took her out for one last drive before I leave for Vegas. 2 weeks away from her will break my heart, but after spending $7,000 in the last month on her, I decided not to take any chances.... I will be thinking of her every time I see one of her cousins on the road!!
