I have been here 7 weeks now, and feel like this is my home. I need to open a shop here!!!! I am didlligently working on that, so I can be included in all this fun all year round. This place(and especially the people) ROCKS !!!!
Come on Texas people,(and surrounding states) bring me some cars to do over!!!! You wont be dissapointed at the results!!! Doug didnt have me come all the way over here because of my sparkling personality
(Well...maybe 1% because of my sparkling personality)
We need to get 2nd Generation "Texas Edition" established!!

Just got the white soft top installed on Bruiser for the summer. Pics to come when some adjustments get done to it (doesn't latch on one side at the moment and the top has a "do not remove" label on the OUTSIDE, connected in the stitching. How am I supposed to get that label off???

Just WOW, Snowman I want to thank you for posting your trials and tribulations. As well as the entire painstaking process you and everyone went through. This entire thread was a real treat.
I just bought my first Corvette a few weeks ago for my 21st birthday. I would be honored for her to be even a fraction of what bruiser is.
Congratulations, and kudos on the marvelous work.

We couldn't agree more Stan. We are ALL ready to see more of your "REMARKABLE" talents!! You have been keeping toooooo much of a low profile recently.
For those of you who aren't familiar with Stan and his crew (I can't imagine that), they do some of THE MOST REMARKABLE work that I have ever seen. And to top it off, they're nice guys too!!!!!

After building the engine....and drag racing it in primer last year....I FINALLY got a chance to see Bruiser in person with all the new paint and body work. All I can says is WOW!!
Incredible work Stan and Co.!! We talked Doug into bringing it out while were dynoing my newest creations and everyone could see where the last one ended up. Man it sounded good through the sidepipes and sure looked killer as Doug-o lit 'em up a little as he left.
Stan...you did put the flex agent in the paint right? Doug wants some wheelie shots for the magazines!

Hey Doug,
Isn't it a federal offense to remove those labels......................???
Just like pillows and bedding !!! LOL Post those pix and we'll let you know whether you should use a grinder or exacto knife !!! Bruiser's a beauty, Doug................ not much can compare with her !
