    I am looking for someone to repair and paint my CF hood, it looks really bad right now.

    Any ideas?

    I have a bugeye.

    The only work seems to be opening my check book every 2 years, or storing the car or hood for the winter.

    I need some paint work done as well. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good job done at a decent rate? I don't want this to rust up this winter.
    Gravel spray anyone?

    Ted, we need to hook you up with a nice big set of rally flaps and that will prevent a lot of those. Ouch!

    Ha ha, yeah. I've got plans for those, I just need to get over to to the Napa and get some product. For the Rally Car we got some 1/4" thick Semi-truck mud flaps and cut em out. The flaps were like 3.00 a piece and you only need two to make flaps.

    This is Grimm's old car, so I'm pretty sure it's seen its fair share of flying debris.

    Maybe not THIS agro, but close:

    Best idea yet, this I could do myself and I wouldn't need a tuner ;)

    Suspension might be a problem, engine bay looks large enough, finding room for the tranny might be a problem.

    mmmmmm

    Don't you mean you can fit a tranny in Ray's trunk area? Probably wouldn't be the first one...

    And yes, I meant the double entendre ;)
