you dont have that mexican restraunt do you????

 

[teto_78]

He He, lucky guess...? how the heck DID you know.....?

 

[vest0830]

Im Frank. the guy with the blue honda hatch, junkyard racer on zeroyon (or any other car site for that matter) and it was a wild guess.

-and I havent heard of to many other active duty people who also run a restraunt.

I have been telling my wife ive been wanting to come back over there for some lunch or dinner! Its awsome!

 

[teto_78]

Oh.. OK, I remember you.. sweet, sold my Silvia, got an SUV now..... I guess a lot of people from that car forum ended up going to the restaurant. Good to hear you have a tank as well, as you already know, Jeff is currently helping me with my latest upgrade... it's looking good too.

 

[vest0830]

Sweet! Looks like a great build man!

 

[jeffb3t]

Not looking as good as I hoped at this point. Working on one hole in the tank right now but very slow going. the bits are dull and it is taking forever. I have been working on the one hole for a while and still haven't hit halfway yet.

 

[teto_78]

Jeff, what are you doing Saturday..? Is it cool if I come over...?

 

[jeffb3t]

Yeah It's cool, You need to come to pick up your tank! Drilling is now done and the overflow will be on tomorrow.

 

[jeffb3t]

Everything turned out fine except that big crack that runs diagonal on the back.

[teto_78]

Ha Ha Ha, I'm coming over with some beer....

 

[jeffb3t]

Good, I need it. The overflow is on and silicone is now curing. A little trimming tomorrow and you are ready.

 

[jeffb3t]

So come on man... I build this thing and yet you haven't posted pics yet. What's up?

 

[vest0830]

[teto_78]

As soon as the paint dries, I'll get some pics and post them up..... Here's a couple pics of the mushrooms and pinks that you gave me for my little girl's Pico...
