Series 30 Locked & Loaded!
Hey! What's up all? Sorry for lack of postage lately - full on slammed. Work is nutty & started a new business, so very busy. Just wanted to let everyone know I haven't forgotten about you all! Merlin is basically done at this point. The below series is a week or two behind. I'll go grab some more photos next week. Bought a new Viper, so I'm selling the 93 & the 850. I'll post some links when they are up for sale so those who might be interested can bid. Insurance is eating me alive, so I'm consolidating some. I'm in love with the new Vipers, but I'm surely about to be even more in love with the black beast we have built! Happy Labor Day to all!!

If you are happy with the carpet I like to know where you got it from. I need A new one soon.

Re: Series 30 Locked & Loaded! (Merlin522)
I would stay away from the "Xenon-like" bulbs. Those "cool blue" lights are illegal in most states because they are only tinted blue. They actually produce less light than regular halogen bulbs, but they look like they produce "whiter" light. It's all a sham.
Please stick to the halogens you have or to real HID/Xenon bulbs (the real ones are a PITA to modify for Vettes).
Car(s) still look awesome!! :smash: :cheers:
