Bobby, step away from the photo editing program, slowly.

Man, I can't go away a couple of days without someone doing something dangerous. You could have put your eye out

Now here's the truck with some hoopty wheels and a hydraulic suspension, now this would really grab attention!! Now with some blasting beats, can you say "AWESOME!"

Bob that's awesome!!!

Ross, I was in Napa the other day going thru all their brass fitting drawers. I will check on the fitting you recommended ... thanks.

Bobby, I didn't have time to try and fix it.

The show was excellent. I got to meet the man. What a nice guy. I didn't know he was from Chicago. That would of been cool to have had him check out the truck. Maybe I would of even won the Barris choice award!!

I did get him to sign a picture of the truck. They had the original Batcopter from the 66 series was there.

The helicopter is based out of Tampa Florida and they give rides. The original Bat Motorcycle was also on display.

A replica of the Ghost busters van and "Kit" the Night rider car was on display.

Here are some pics of the show:











Love what he signed on the picture!!

To bad ya can't get the celebs that ya have meet to sign the dash or glove box
with a permanent gold marker to kinda match the gold leaves trim.

Maybe have that signed pic made into a poster and display it with the truck?

Ya I know, I am just full of ideas today

Bob, me & the boys love it!!

Rich, great ideas. He was signing anything. I should of brought a die-cast model of the Batmobile for him to sign. He charged $25 per item other then a picture. I saw him signing t-shirts, hats, Batmobile posters, sun visors etc
