Halloween stuff

nice job on the pumkins

First try at the "brains" thing. Next year it will be better. This year I worked until Noon, then carved four pumpkins and put up most of the decorations in about 2.5 hours. Next year I'll do the pumpkins the night before. I couldn't find my good carving tools and was just designing and cutting "on the fly".

I think the brains would have turned out better with a clear coat to make it shiny or maybe rub some oil on it.

we cant have decorations like that anymore, bastard kids always steal shit or stomp pumpkins, not worth the trouble anymore

Brains looks so cool man howd u come up with that idea?

Next year....fire.

Nice pumpkins ya got there dave.

Your right dave, last year I put all kinds of cool stuff out, dead body rising out of the ground, grave yard, the dead hanging from the trees, fake blood spalttered on the door, and some cool pumpkins and next morning the dumb ass kids come buy and steal your stuff and destroy it down the block. maybe next time I should add live current objects to the halloween display.

I had smashed pumpkin on my roof one year.....little punks.....

Some pics from yesterday at a offroad park in southern ill. near seneca.

Whoa! Is that rear broken, or just articulated? Crazy hobby, Snake!

H2 recovery team...nice sticker!

Looks articulated. Jeeps are quite worthy in stock or near stock state. Then, once you break them off roading..... everyone seems to start going crazy with them. Haha

Not broken... just articulating. full compression on that left rear and full droop on the left front. Opposite on the other side.

Yeah Dan, once you start modding a Jeep and get bitten with that bug, the crazy shit really starts to get out of hand. =)

Its hard because they are so capable initially with little more than tires. Then you really start seeing what they do when you put more work into them. I rode in my buddies and I can't count the number of times the thing was half submerged. What a blast. I was trying to get a cheap 4X4 for a while but was told by my Dad it wasn't staying in his driveway. Haha (He's a mechanic and was a bit touchy about anything leaking on his new concrete driveway. LoL) A few of my friend payed for their trucks entirely by plowing with them as well....

Lol that off road park is 4 minutes from my house. I live in Seneca ^_____^

Well here's my brother-in-laws 72 Chevy Nova that we just finished up last weekend. Complete restoration, frame off, I installed 2 new 1/4 panels, new floorpans, installed a 350hp 355ci small block chevy, 400 trans, 3.42 posi 10bolt rearend, Boyd wheels, etc! Took us about a year to do on and off. My other brother-in-law does the painting/bodywork, I do the welding, engine, and tuning work. As of this weekend we got a 35 Ford sedan and a 66 Ford pick-up we're doing right now. Dave we can finish that Camaro for ya if interested?

looks good. lets see under the hood

Looks like any other small block chevy, nice and clean, i'd take a picture but it went home to Nebraska last week?
