glad to see lots of new members around here

30! Ha! :wink: I'm getting there!

And I would probably post more, but I haven't really done anything to my Yaris. I have been rebuilding a '67 Ford Fairlane. Now I am done with engine and tranny, on to paint and interior! So, when all you guys are talking about exhausts and kits and stuff for your Yaris... I really have no firsthand knowledge to throw in! :frown:

[TinyGiant]

there is a 60's fiairlane by my house that is getting destroyed by pine trees. i want to rescue it.

the other day though while walking the dog i noticed they finally moved it away from the pines. its in the middle of the yard near the road. i wonder if they are going to sell it.

its a 4 door soft top in maroon

[AmyV]

Very nice! :w00t:

Mine is a '67 Fairlane 500. 4dr hardtop. I have taken the original 289 and bored it .040 over and stroked it (yes! You can actually get a Stroker crank and set up for a 289! I was shocked when I found that!). Coverted it from an automatic to a manual (4 on the floor). Edelbrock intake, hooker headers... oh it's a beast! In fact, I call it 'The Beast' :wink: Not sure about original color, is painted deep 'twinkly' blue, but it is oxidizing under the clear coat. I think I want to paint it flat black, with a deep forest green on the scoop. Lol backwards from normal. Whaddya think? I'm not on my home computer, but when I get home, I'll throw up a pic for you.

I also am a crew member for an AA/FA (Fuel Altered). We generally run 5.50 second passes on the 1/4 mile (i'll throw up a pic of that tonight as well). Lol I guess I am not your typical girl :rolleyes:

[TinyGiant]

thats pretty sweet. you got me beat in the car knowledge dept. i can change oil and do body work projects.. anything else i gotta google before i try it. I have found anything i can take apart i can get back together.. i found that out working with gopeds a few years back.. they were fun little projects.

i'd love to get a car to restore.. but havent the funds.. have plenty of time though :)

[AmyV]

Very nice. And hey, everyone still needs to look stuff up! I would never have found this site if I hadn't been trying to install fog lamps. I needed to punch through the firewall to run a wire. Haha no clue where to punch through! So I poked around here for a bit and found what I needed to know.

Basically, it's all trial and error. First couple times out with the team, I asked about a million questions. I bet all the guys on the team were standing around thinking 'Great, a dumb blonde'. :rolleyes:

And I suggest picking up a little project car. It takes more time than money (usually). And I know pretty much zippo when it comes to body work and painting and all that... so I'll prolly hit you up when it's time to tackle that on my Ford!!!

[hatchbackkid82]

OMG I've seen it all:barf:

[JPMedina]

Wow!!! Honestly...

Never sow some like this...

[nerd_vitZ]

wow. i normally dont hate, but damn. i know to each his own and all. but really? whats with the screws too? i wanna cry. =o(

[schleppy]

I hate to say this, but I don't think I like a single thing on your car.

[DandiDani]

:eyebulge:

[Lazerdot]

Cool ideas in many areas, personally like the front lip. Functional hood scoops would be a great addition to my car. The main thing is it's a fun car to change around a bit at at reasonable cost.

[AmyV]

Turkey, the mods aren't really my style, but I DEF appreciate the time and effort it took to do all that! Love it that you love your car!!! :w00t:

NOT HA , HA , IT,S GOING TAKE MORE THAN THAT TO PISS OFF THIS OLD TURKEY . Thats cool i respect your thoughts , and by the way I checked out your car . not a bad start for being mostly stock . nice start

[turkey tom]

Trust me ladies and gent,s , don,t feel bad , don,t be shy , I,m a big boy . I love all the coments good or bad. This is like art , you have to start somewhere . some may like it some may not . some have a good imagination , some don,t . I,m a artist in many diferrent ways ( yes i do belong to a art Gallery ) . This is a big project that has taken many months to do . Yes it does look bad now but it will look awsome in the end and I promiss thier won,t be any screws in it .It takes a auto bodyman to know what goes in to making one by scratch . So please don,t be shy , I get alot of my ideas from coments good or bad . ALL FOR FUN ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY

Do you have a link for it? Lol I'm a 'tard and can't seem to find it :iono:

[turkey tom]

Good mornig Amy , i,m bad on the computer my self . Go to www.microimageonline.com . then go to forums ---- community -- and click on Turkey photos .

I will put photos on here for everyone also , give me a few minuts

[AmyV]

Morning Turkey! :biggrin:

No that was fine! Honestly, I usually just post on here when i have a few minutes at work, so I've never been the the Micro Image website. Didnt realize there was a seperate forum there!!

And yes, nice to meet a neighbor. You and your fam go to the meets? I haven't been to one yet. Jojo was pulling my leg to go to one on Nov. 14th.

And I have to make a comment about NAPA.... haha I work part time for Star Auto Parts. And nothing is better than when I am in a company Versa and a NAPA Yaris pulls up next to me for a quick drag race.... i'm sure everyone else around just laughs there asses off!! :laugh:

[turkey tom]

Here are some pics on the process . enjoy


Looks like a mess but this is a very messy job . Once this air dame is complete and painted I will make a mold from it . Once the mold is done I can make 100,s of thies air dams for people if they like . The air dam from the mold will be a one piece fiberglass mold , no bondo , will be held on with special tape , no screws and will have a mesh screen in it . The hood scoops will be done in the same process , but the hood scoops will be molded to the hood and no screws .

[AmyV]

Looks like a mess.... but a fun mess!!! :smile:

Oh , you need to come work for a real parts store HA , HA , just kidding . :laughabove: and yes our napa yaris is slow but i,m sure it could take the versa . although its sonds like you know what your doing .

[AmyV]

Yeah, well our Versas are automatics, as I'm sure your Yarii are too, so really, we are up to the mercy of the tranny. Driver involvement is minimal :frown:

Honestly, there should be like an olympic games between the two... haha but i'm thinking like 3 legged races and and all that! Would be hilarious. The culmination of course would be a Versa vs. Yaris drag race on the quarter mile... :biggrin:

[TheRealEnth]

Maybe Lose the Dual Hood Scoops, and make 1 Low Wide Scoop but not too wide. Whatya think turkey?
