Do you have you cutout open>?

yeah i havent even done it with the cutouts closed yet. im worried that ill blow out my mufflers. i did shoot a nice big blue flame out the tail pipes the other day, i wish i got a video of that

so ive wanted to do a custom front splitter on my car and i made one a while back out of aluminum but it wasnt big enough and when i shortened my bumpers it wont fit now so i drew up one. i was going to get those adjusters for it but they are like $40 a pair so i made my own

i like the burnt look so i cleaned em up and clear coated them. i habe most of the metal cut for the splitter just need a few hours fitting it and welding it up

almost finished my front splitter. ill have it all done tomorrow with pics but tonight i broke the camino out. its been raining and freezing the past couple days and tonight it was nice out so i was cruising with the electric cutouts open the bass bumping just feeling good and i was coming up to a 4 way intersection and floored in and drifted the corner and sure enouph there was a cop sitting at the lights and pulled me over. so anyways he comes up and asks how old i was and i said 19 and he was like only been driving 3 years? thats not long enouph to drive like a race car haha but anyways got let off with a wreckless driving warning and he told me if i wanted to dick around to do it on the highway.

i bough a steel roll pan a while back from boatshoes and im just getting around to putting it on now. only had a little time to work on it today but i con one corner welded on, obviously needs more welding and grinding but its a start. also did some work on the bed trim and gas door in the bed. still not finished all that, im super lazy i know

the other side of the car where the other piece welds on was where i got hit so that will take more time to do but atleast it will get fixed

I've got no idea what page to look on to check, but did you already modify your bumper shocks so that they were solid?
