I understand the desire to avoid the quagmire but please unpost those photos immediately. This forum has a minimum standard that needs to be met. And those fall seriously short. :lol:

Thank you for your attention to this serious matter.

Maybe we should leave it up as another example of 'what not to do'...

or how to ruffle a moderater in two pics or less?

This general outcry and the backlash that these photos have created is terrible. Way to out me as the photographer Ron. I see how it is. Now you know how journalists feel when it comes to protecting their source(s).

Just giving credit where credit is due Matt. What can I say, I'm an honest man. :stirthepot:

Maybe we can wrestle Dick's camera away and set it on high resolution :idea:

Ok, you're reinstated. :hello:

Looks like some fantastic execution there. :bigun2:

Matt@BOS 06-13-2013 06:48 PM

We're good Ron. The number of pictures might be a bit excessive though. You usually post up one picture and get three pages of... well, nothing from the rontourage. I can only imagine what chaos and derailment will ensue now with all of those pictures, some of which actually have some sharpness and clarity.

Matt,

Although Ron did ...




... he came through by getting those replacement pics under the pressure from 'The Rontourage', who obviously can at times be a bit persnickety after almost 2.5 years of subscription. :rules: :drama:

The Rontourage is not just one person. We are thousands, but we speak with one voice.

Tuning should be easy. Every conceivable part you could probably ever need is already in your garage, :lol: and if not it is in mine. I have about about 10 sets of springs floating around and sway bars and other associated crap... and tires you could "rent" for a reasonable price.

Greg from Aus 06-13-2013 07:48 PM

Bloody awesome Ron, Very Very nice :D

It's ok if I return the tires when I'm done right?

It's a wonderful thing to live vicariously through Ron.

Proud member of the Rontourage here. :yes:

What I'm really looking forward to is watching Mr. Big and Ron autocross that awesome machine. :beavis:

Hahaa 'Ratboy' I'm sure he never heard that before! You shoulda seen him when he was a teenager with pimples! Lambeck would get gruff with him for using a crescent and he'd turn red :lol:

Don't tell Rob about the RS versions. He'll only get confused and lash out. :D

I won't bother. Unless he is at a car show, he won't ever be close enough to differentiate. :lol:

Ron you need to cut ties with the Rob guy he's like a weight around your neck in a pool :drowninga: :animated_bye_bye_em and stop being so nice on his thread. :mock:

I am not a nice guy. Defamation of character is an actionable offense you know. Stop spreading rumors like that or you'll be hearing from my lawyer Skip. There will be no further warnings. :hitaxeonthehead: :D

Stopped by the shop today. Great seeing the gang and I wish I could of stayed longer. Car is progressing nicely. Heater and lower radiator hoses are in:
http://i885.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps7ffc6ab4.jpg

Header tube mods done. In person they look fantastic:

Cold air intake tube and close out is finished:

Rear access plate across the tunnel cut and shock resi's located. Battery wiring complete:
