why thank u sir. basically on all my builds I get my cars to a good base then add a lot of detail. its at its base right now. but from here on out is where creativity comes into play

if u thought the certains were different, u should see what else I got planned for the car. esp my floor mats. lolol.

+2 w/applause

The white wine and glasses were good, but you got to get the bubbly and proper glass "flutes"

I am considering building a bracket to hold my Hooka pipe in the TE so I can puff along on a long road trip. Depending on the coals it lasts an hour or more, so I'd have to make it a long trip, or a commute if I lived in Seattle.

Yeah depending on the coals but how are you going to clear out the bowl and blow out the coal ash with it starts getting ashy? No one likes a rough Hookah!

I consider myself a fairly competent hooka operator. I worked at an Iranian owned teteria(teashop) in spain. I served up hookas and tea after classes every day, it was the life. When I make up a bowl of tobacco for the hooka I line the bowl with aluminum foil and then cover it aswell, so the coal sits on top, i figure i'd just add another layer over the coal once it was going to contain the ash. I could pull off that cover to move the coal around the bowl, it would probably require a co-pilot Mmmm, hooka.

You just give me some new ideas.

I am going to visit SoCal this summer to see my buddy at 29palms before he goes to Iraq, we will surely have to meet up. I imagine i'll do a road trip instead of fly, cause Flying sucks *** these days with all of the **** you have to go through. Plus any road trip is good in a benz! I have done the west coast twice. Down and back in my 68 to socal, and up from socal in the 400E. Guess the ol TE needs a trip down as well.

thx

yes emblems are wald emblems which I purchased at the same time as my kit. when removed, there are holes under the front and rear stock emblems. while it was in the shop I had the holes shaved and smoothed if I ever get tired of the wald emblems ill still have a clean look.

shaving and custom body work all adds up in the end, but definitely a good investment.

Do you ever have any problems with speedbumps? I've already scraped my new bumper some on the speedbumps here in VA, which are ridiculous.
