Hey guys
Finally found the look I was after for my avatar, on a magazine cover.
New member mazdadrifter hooked me up with an almost perfect rendering of it.
What do you think?
Jim

Thats pretty cool. Its too bad that the trunk lock is in the middle of the rex's back end, or it would look great there as an emblem.

Yeah, no kidding, didn't think about that spot. Maybe when I get it painted I'll just have them fill that in I usually just use the inside release anyway.
I thought about finding a graphics guy to do a couple of fender badges or maybe put it where rao has his next to the license plate.
I am e-mailing it to a guy I know that does caps.

I wish i had done that now. I used my key lock for the first time last week when i was putting my new drill press in the trunk, and i found out that the key assembly sticks and does not allow the hatch to close. I had to pull the lever inside tha car a few times to get everything to snap back into place. It works fine from the inside.

I've only used mine one in a year and that was when I swapped out the original unit that was frozen up.
You got any ideas on how you're going to paint Marks car or has he already got something in mind.
I'm putting my in for paint next Monday. I sure wish you lived closer to me. I'd much rather pass the cash to a buddy.

Mark is doing 99.9% of the bodywork and prep himself, and then driving over for paint in a couple of weeks.

What he doesnt know yet, is that he is gonna be doing some of the shooting too..... That way, if something doesnt come out perfect enough for him, i can point the finger at the newbie......

I'm sure it'll turn out to be a top notch job.
