Very nice, but what is the green "seed-like" thing on the chin guard?

i'm guessing it's a leaf, like what people wear in those "garden of eden" renaissance paintings (when they had leaves for modesty anyway!).. were those grape vine leaves they always painted?

of course, having guessed that, I have no idea *why* it's there.. it just reminded me of that.
but cool design anyway.. personality is a good thing!

No, that's a test to spot the REAL beer lovers.

It's a hops bud.

Well, I actually brewed beer for about 15 years, including growing my own hops. When I think of hops, I visualize

When I saw the helmet, my first thought was morel, mushroom that is

Beer i used to love the stuff i drank it like pop

Hey Vaughnn think its time to get rid of my
stripes I copied from you...Ive been talken
with my girl-friend about 2 tone and other body lines.

She likes blue and yellow I dont So Im thinken
a bright red on top with the same yellow on bottem
Keep the inner outline of the side back windows ion the body
n yellow. Tighten up the front valance add to horizontal pieces
between the fog-lites thin ones with the top bottem angled
and the bottem top angled running intop the radiator.
blast all the paint off the rear fuchs and all the chrome
off the front ones and re polish them. My buffer works pretty
good on the fuchs. natural aluminum is nice cleared of course.
Im getting extra body panels together so I dont have to worry about layers of paint I have a hood so far. What do you think
Vaughnn
red and yellow 2 tone.
Im gonna fill the trunk key hole Im usen rubber straps I got
from a racen parts cat. What color is your car vaughnn I
suppose youll show us in due time. Its been a few weeks
since Ive looked at your site..Later man.

Growing your own hops?? Sweet!!

We had a good deal with a local DIY brewery here, but they just closed up, and no-one's bought it yet, so we may be forced to do it totally DIY at-home.

Been kinda spoiled using their supplies, equipment, kettles, etc...

Joe, as of right now, the car looks like it does on the pics on my homepage(click on the pic next to the helmet). It's the old paint, plus bare metal and bondo. We still haven't finished the bodywork, let alone painted it; things have been kinda back-burnered while my wife is in the hospital (another very long story). However, we're going for a different white/blue scheme, with touches of red. It's basically like that first DP 933 on the D Prod page on 924.org, but instead of a red slash down the side/back it'll be a blue slash, no pinstripes. The front spoiler and mirrors will be red (mirrors powdercoated, spoiler in Rustoleum). And I will of course post pics when it's done...
