STATUS REPORT: Talking Heads Prevail. After talking it over with Frank (Dragon) it seems that this episode can be used to everyones advantage. 1. Head-out to Floridia on May 31st to pick-up #15 2. Drive to the Dells Show. 3. Install Norms front clip. 4 Go to the show. 5. People up north getting a chance to view it.............PRICELESS 6. Head-back to California. Possible issues? I need to contact Norm first and see if he is available before the show? [This message has been edited by madcurl (edited 04-23-2005).]

Looking amazing as usual Madcurl! Any mention of color choice yet? After looking through all these pics, I'm kind of hoping you go with a rich Red (something about that F355 photo earlier in the thread ).

Yep. The godfather wanted to see a red chopper. I think #16 may go with red to? Oh yeah, thanks Tony for posting pics. As you can see that I do have a pretty good digital camera but, I rarely have time to use it. [This message has been edited by madcurl (edited 05-02-2005).]

I can SEE!! A clear picture of #15 and it looks awesome... This confirms my "bigfoot" theory, Curley you intentionally release all those grainy camera phone pics to keep us guessing about what it really is you are up to.

News update: ShawnFL, the t.v. reportor on the seen has taken some early pics of the dash and of the VDC kit. Thumbs up for Shawn while during the "reporting" while on his lunch break! Progress report: I will not make it to the Dell show due to the making of the dash. Sorry. Disclaimer: Pics are not pretty. Viewers must use imagination. Not responsible for the lost of dinners and fluids, while viewing pics. hehehe. Enjoy Exoticse will post if he has time? No pics of the VDC kit on car. Shawn might go by on Thursday for pics if Jerry has the VDC kit on? Later. madcurl ------------------  Archie's Choptop conversion #11, #15, Redux & The Stealth [This message has been edited by madcurl (edited 05-10-2005).]

LIke curly said these are early crude mockups, ..but this is the same guy that did the awesome dash for the silver chop top as seen here:


That was the past now in the present you can already see that this dash will likely be even better ! 



Anybody recognize these puppies ?? Hehehe 
Again thanks to shawn for supplying the pics ! [This message has been edited by exoticse (edited 05-10-2005).]

The VDC kits come with a coat of gray paint or black. The area were it is rusty is the part that is modified. It might be due to it not being protected after the modifications? The kit will be sanded and prep'd for painting. This VDC is a different type. It uses a different hindge and the shock is stronger this time around.
EDIT: the digital gauge is one that Archie and I seen while at the SEMA show in Las Vegas 2004. Dakota Digital now carries them. Although it is Chromed, it will be painted black. [This message has been edited by madcurl (edited 05-11-2005).]
