so with that upgrade since theres some upgrades to the newer style lights, would that work then? plus id like to try out the led headlight glow thing where your headlights glow when u dont have your headlights on. i think that would be pretty cool

I believe that is the logo for Thrush exhaust products. Looks like a racing Woody Woodpecker.

sorry Gary, nice try though. everybody has been guessing the Thrush bird. i've even been accused of being a Mopar guy, because they say its the Road Runner. it is Mr Horsepower, a cartoon character used by Clay Smith Cams since the early days of hot rodding. i see stickers with it on almost every street rod around town. i've actually got it tattooed on my left arm. i wanted something that reflected something about my personality, and something that wasnt following some kind of fad. i'm going to add a pair of crossed wrenches behind it, along with my late grandfather's initials, seeing as he is the one who turned me into a car guy.

Mr. Horsepower could kick Woody Woodpeckers AND the Thrush characters ass at the same time, while smoking a cigar and tying one wing behind his back! :D

I am a fan of the old school characters/image as well...So-Cal, Moon, Ed Roth, Von Dutch, etc... :)

Boy you guys know how to take a topic way off subject. Front clips to tattoos. :D

87 Shortwide 11-09-2003 01:43 PM

I will pull it back on topic for you guys with a nifty picture!

This is the setup I got while it was still on its previous truck...it was on there for about a month then taken off so the truck could be sold.

you see he sold the truck to pick up a nice 93 sub, but it ended up like this...after a drunk driver hit it.
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...2/fc17a133.jpg

So after the bill to fix it rang up at a little over 10,000 dollars...insurance totalled it and he picked up a clean but stock 97 sub. now his 97 looks like this...so with him getting 3 new front ends...he decided to give me one :D

Man, you can't beat the give thing, I don't care what you do. Only trouble I ever had with people giving me things is the payback. Seemed I always end up on the short end of the stick. :)

soleeagle 11-10-2003 01:16 AM

Why cant I ever get that lucky? No body around here GIVES anything to anybody for free, there is always a price.:mad:
