I made a two part squish mold using a clear rubber material, really just messing around with it. Now just have to WAIT to see the outcome. Heading to work so i'm not tempted to mess with it, i hate waiting...


I have read about different color tailights on this site in the past, thought it'd be kinda cool. Figured i'd try.
(200x tailight)

Edit later same day-i've got bubbles, but its a working piece.
A pressure chamber when i get it "should" take care of the majority of air. I'm just happy that my mold worked great.

Now for a blue one,-- thanks for looking.

Met with the Long Beach University police to show them my police interceptor they saw on the internet because one of theirs is worn out so they need to replace it and don't have enough money to buy a new one so they are looking at used ones. ...then they asked if I can get some more of these ...then they said they may be looking for a police bike also and asked how much I was asking for mine, so I may end up supplying that department with several of the highest quality, "pre-owned" ex police vehicles that money can buy.

Seemed funny to me that one police department sold the car and now another police department wants to buy it cuz they are nearly broke.

I'm improving the most powerful dirt bike in the universe with older most powerful dirt bike in the universe parts. Swapping out the 02 transmission for a 94-98 transmission. First gear is too fast for me in the woods. I need to slow it down a tad, but couldn't find a honda transmission that fit, so I had to use the lower geared 94-98 transmission. 1.88 first gear of the 02 compared to the 2.18 in 94-98.

Well, the police called me back and it seems the chief thought he was a negotiator so he looked up the value in the NADA guide but looked it up incorrectly, so when they told me he said I was asking $2000.00 more than the guide said it was worth, I told them he looked it up wrong then told them how to look it up and also to tell the chief that it is also around $35,000.00 less than a new one without taxes, and they said, never mind, we'll take it. They then said, please call us if you get anymore.

Hey Doc...ya wanna good deal on a pre-owned police car?

Sounds like that coffee & donut scented air freshener was a good investment.

Funny you should mention that, because every police car I have had has had a LOT of coffee spilled in it which takes me hours to get out, so on this car I cleaned all the coffee stains until the interior looked like new, and then I sold it to the same group of people that are just going to spill lots more coffee in it.


Another funny thing is that I had to drive 35 miles to meet them half way to show it to them because they only had a short time to spend on looking at it, so they offered to by me coffee (which I don't drink) if we could met at....A COFFEE SHOP ....so I found a Starbucks and we met there.

Ugh, coffee spills. Only things worse are gum in the carpets and snot farms on the left side of the drivers seat.

Barnett; well played and very entertaining!

Nico! Are you referencing my booger truck! Nastiest shite I've seen in my life! The interior of the booger truck was also covered in layer upon layer of coffee which seems to have preserved the truck somehow. It looked like a million bucks after six short hours of cleaning and the garden hose!

No my friend, sadly I am not. I flipped pickup trucks for over two years down here. Brought them in from Canada and the States, fixed and cleaned them up and tried to sell them for a profit.

I bought a lot of them at ADESA in San Antonio. Most of the ones out of there likely came in as trades and were deemed unworthy of so much as a rinse before auction. Those were some of the most disgusting trucks you can imagine. There were fleet, private and a few Sheriff’s trucks. Because of my market I was exclusively buying the turds and polishing them up.

Coffee and soda spills got covered with a wet rag and left for a few hours. Then rubbed with a damp rag an a little dish soap and finally a dry rag. Cigarette burns and gum on the carpet was easy, just cut out the gum with a razor blade, go under the seat and shave off some virgin carpet fibers, dab some contact cement in the burnt or bald spot and sprinkle the fibers over the glue. Seats were the same if the holes weren’t all the way through, but if they were it meant I had to by seat covers.

But snot farms which I usually tried to rub off with a dry rag before soaking with water were second on the grossometer only to patches where someone had sh*t themselves. The smell would get worse when it was soaked, so after attempted cleaning with water and upholstery cleaner I’d have to let them air out for a few days and then fill them with air Fresheners.

I’ll spare you the shot spot stories and just say that some people should be limited to vinyl interiors.

You've never had a bottle of the old recipe Tegrin shampoo spill in a floorboard have you?

Shep, you're doing the Lord's work out there!

Coughed and broke a rib while driving to the shop this morning. I think im getting old?

You think that hurts, wait till you arm-wrestle Joe.
