I viewed the pics from the bottom up and i thought that looked a lot like Letchworth.

Looks like a good time.

I couldn't afford a beater for winter so I turner Veronica into a winter tank...I got an SXT bumper off a rollover from the junkyard and I tried to make it look semi-decent.

After a long saga of wheel spacers and SXT rims with snow tires not clearing the brake calipers I ended up selling them for more than I paid and bought 16in VW steelies with snow tires on them and about 200 miles of use for $300. I wash her once a week to get the salt off, but she is looking a little rough pre-bath. Don't judge me :rofl:

Yeah it was like 50 all in all for the bumper and the paint, there is a red neon in the yard right now that has a decent front bumper, txt me if you want me to snag it for you and you can pay me back

I feel your pain! When I drove my SRT through the winter I had two sets of headlights, foglights and sidemarkers, two grilles, two hoods and two front bumpers. Did everything I could to make sure the damage did happen to the good bumper. I am rather jealous that you have hardly any snow though :rofl:

It's alright....I deserved it. I won't even edit the post I'm going to leave it just the way it is: Tarded.

nice.. but hey man should took that dent out of the right front of the cover. all you needed was a heat gun, propane torch, or any kind of good heat source.. heat it up and gently push it out.. it will pop right back.. you could even do it now but paint could bubble depending on what you used.

but hey still better then f-ing up the srt bumper

Haha that would have been cool, but I bet it would have been awkward with the ass of the car 4 feet off the ground all the time

I never honestly thought about that, thanks for the suggestion. It was like the only part of the rollover I got it off of which wasnt majorly damaged

You too man, that's not a real R/T is it? It looked pretty nice, were those the actual R/T wheels, they almost looked like copys. I'm jealous of that hammerhead spoiler too, I always look for them when I go to the yard

Looks good. I like the idea of a winter bumper. Paint came out pretty good too.

Where in Buffalo are you? I'm gonna be visiting some old friends over at UB in late March. Maybe I'll see you.

Nah it's an ES - but R/T wheels and the spoiler were added.

Jeff, I'm over in Amherst I'm literally 10 mins between either UB North and South Campus, I'm a junior in the Urban Planning Dept. with a minor in architecture. I'd be down for a meet up :rockon:

I'll keep a look out for an e-blue SRT-4 with Vermont plates on campus when you are here.

I'd love to meet you face to face.

We can talk about cars...

I thought the same thing too but I like the silver slightly better after thinking about it. Awesome either way.
