These are prototypes... this particular one was the 1st prototype... since I didn't want to leave it unfinished...I'm trying something different with it. The 2nd Prototype will also get finished with a different look than the 1st or the 3rd . Once I decide on what is best for my final cover, I will have it cut out by a Gravo graph, I will bend it, then I will have it tig welded.

Can't wait to get that done! For the time being I'm going with my 3rd polished prototype.

Registered for The Formula Drift Idlewerks Car Show at the Texas Motor Speedway... It will be held on September the 9th.

This show will mark the first time I show with my new team out of Dallas... Team MisFits

I will also be showing with them at SPOCOM Dallas on October 14th and more than likely (at least me) Wekfest Houston on October 7th.

Our team has an awesome photographer whom I hope to pick some things up from... check out his IG page Zeon Photos

Hope to meet some of you Texas folk at one of the aforementioned shows!

Looking for my next aero kit...

here are some mock-ups

Stancenation aimgain collaboration kit pictured here although I am in between this version and version 2 at the moment...



Here is a mash up of A Chargespeed front, skirts, and rear with C-West fenders... oh and some random Voltex wing.



Oh and I received my new gear... can't wait to use it! Sold my old DSLR to make this happen... it was way past time to upgrade!

I registered a while back for SPOCOM Dallas on October 14th...I also recently registered for Formula Drift Idlewerks at the Texas Motor Speedway on September 9th.

Today I added to my list of car shows to attend this year by registering for Wekfest Houston on October 7th. That show may or not happen... hopefully the joint efforts of all the Houstonians and volunteers can put Houston back on it's feet... so the city and it's people can get back to normal.

Well... Formula Drift Idlewerks was canceled and Wekfest was postponed... so it looks like my next for sure show is SPOCOM Dallas...

This gives me time to make a couple more parts and get my display in order...

This other twin on your team is pretty jaw dropping. Front LED bar looks a little unusual, probably super useful at night though. Please tell me this thing gets driven and not just hard parked!

Did you finalize the design of your intake manifold cover? Don't remember seeing any photos of it completed.

I have the template done...I just haven't got around to having it cut out on a machine or finding someone to weld it. My rising sun cover just needs to be test fitted one more time then painted.

So I've had Lightroom (LR3) for a while but never really got around to using it... I just always used PS. Now that I upgraded to the Nikon D750 from the D90 I wanted to develop my pics more professionally... so I started effing around with LR and I plan on using it from now on.

Since my PS version is CS5 I cannot edit the D750's NEF files in either program. My workaround is converting the NEF files into Tiffs using Nikon ViewNX-i then opening them in LR. This is my first edit using LR3. I created a preset for the pics in this set. I'll get 💯 better with practice 👍...



Compared to the the before and after image, I've added back some warmth using a sepia filter in PS to the following images. I felt the image was too cold after looking at it some more. I feel like something is still missing though... I'll mess with them some more later...
