    I've been collecting various sizes of gravel to toss out the window as you follow me. Only fair that I do my part to help re-patina Gnat. :)

    Nate with guys our sizes we have the cool little thing called gravity to keep us in our seats. I don't think we stand a chance of hitting the ceiling unless we roll the car. :ihih::lol::lol::lol::lol:

    The hood look incredible. There were small lines one could see before around the louvers where the cut line is. You can't see them anymore

    I'd suggest waiting a while for the paint to cure before adding any vinyl to it.

    The same way I got them in the first place. Looking forward to following you on a run Dave, that way I can get a few new ones.

    You are more likely to get a flame job from the contrail his brake pads leave. :D

    The cool part is, you might be watching a Nike commercial some day and see some kid do a backflip off of GNAT and you can be like " Hey that's my car"

    Now that would be cool.....:cool:

    Hope that you and GNAT have a quick recovery and get back on the road ASAP..

    IMO the best part would be contacting the ad agency to get the idiot's name so you could press charges. :D

    Gnat the clutch job, Gnat the brake job, Gnat the oil change. The possibilities are endless. :D
