Army green, suckazzzzz.

Not done yet, been busy, but yeah. LOTS more to come.

By lots, the current plans are 16x11 flat black RSs on all four corners, fender flares in flat black. Lots of black stenciling (military style), some 9' CB whip antennas, and other asorted ridiculous army nonsense.

Oh and a drop too.

[Feelinit18]

[SeanDub]

Oh and a drop too.

Please tell me you are thinking a huge antenna that is mounted on the back bumper and domes over the car as you tie the end to the front bumper....like on a jeep???

Oh...and if you are going military...why not pull one or more of the panels off...and take it to the shooting range?

Maybe not the best ideas...but who knows...

[driggers.a]

Real bullet holes would be pretty dope.

Hah yeah, I have some 9ft CB whips goin on the trunk. :D

Shooting it is easily possible, I can get out the barrett .50 out and blow some bigass holes in it... but that is ruining the car lol.

[riffman12]

lol you really own a barett .50?

[M.Burroughs]

We've got one at the office. My mom built barrett's website and my stepdad hosts gun TV shows.

[SeanDub]

Give me a gun. .40 or .44 kthx

[M.Burroughs]

Brown paper bag, on the corner, under the payphone at the shell station.
It'l be there in twenty minutes.

[SeanDub]

I'll pay extra for one with no "history"

[M.Burroughs]

Understood. No finger prints on it. Serial numbers have been "removed".

[Dr.AK]

:rofl


Srsly, can't wait to see the outcome of this. I especially can't wait to see what kinda flares you're gonna run.

[Zack01GC]

I'll be waiting for the finished product, it's going to be sick.

My suggestion for the RS' is flat black lip, flat black face, and shiny gold bolts. Hooah.

[TheStig]

according to the anti-rust police, didn't you already ruin 1 car? why not just blow a huge hole in 1 of the fenders?

[schroedin]

fender flares in flat black. Lots of black stenciling (military style), some 9' CB whip antennas, and other asorted ridiculous army nonsense.
There is a pedo van around here that has all of those things :rofl

[the dingo]

you never fail to impress.

I'll be watching this...

[so steezy]

damn! how did I miss this thread! cant wait to see it done Mikey

[Tuck&Poke]

i would also do gold on the inside of the spokes, and the faces blat black, for that extra pop, otherwise its just another set of all black rs's with gold bolts

[RedE46Bimmer]

the whip antannas are an awesome idea. are you just gonna leave em like they are because army humvees and stuff pull them towards the front and like tie em to the front bumper lol

http://i702.photobucket.com/albums/ww23/rede46bimmer/040209-traffic-full.jpg

And also i think you should def do like the flat white stars and the yellow arrows that say rescue and fuel on them LOL

This is gonna be so dope

[schroedin]

i would also do gold on the inside of the spokes, and the faces blat black, for that extra pop, otherwise its just another set of all black rs's with gold bolts

Damn, please do this. It would be so hot. :)


Mikey, you should do one of these too.
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3620/3344153313_b55dfc4be2.jpg

[NegativeCamber]

should have done this to the rusty one. then it would really look like its been through war. plus, you could have removed the doors and fender and shot them up. lol. all i can say is that real bullet holes for a themed vehicle is major ++++ rep.

[BADwayz]

Looking forward to seeing more, I know you'll come correct, mike.

[87e30]

damn. Why do you have all the good ideas?

[theseeker411]

Damn, please do this. It would be so hot. :)

Been done in chalk multiple times when I owned it ;). I think a pin up girl on the front fenders behind the front wheels would look bitchin.

[TheNeek]

We need to talk when you're in Tucson.

[ignacio]

Haha I was gonna say a pin-up girl would be rad. This reminds me of this 80's Toyota longbed pickup my dad had as a weekend ride so he didn't drive his company truck everywhere. It was mainly to haul his and his friend's stand-up jet skis around South Florida (those were the hottness back in the 80s/90s). He slammed it on some little white/off-white multispokes, cut off the roof, and we rattle-canned it camouflage. This was during the Gulf War but it seemed pretty fitting. But so far it looks great and I'm subscribing so I don't miss a beat. Btw what kind of paint are you using? Rattle can or air gun?

Stand-Ups are still the hot shit if you are in the know ;)


You ride stand-ups or you are just on a floating couch. Don't care how fast it goes.

I saw a dude on one yesterday, every time I see one its an instant time warp. I haven't ridden one of those since elementary or middle school. But I'm a little confused by your tactics... I'm just gonna go ahead and say that I do have a floating coach, but I wakeskate behind it and don't race around like a yuppie.

[dinanm3atl]

We have a supercharged SeaDoo and it is damn fast. Just boring. You seriously have to try to fall off. You can ride and never even get wet :)

Stand Up though you can do better tricks, submarine, ride backwards, flips, barrel rolls and more. Just a more exciting ride

Not ****** really. If you enjoy them then enjoy them. I am just biased. Kawi 650SX and 650SXi. Need one of the new ones though... 800 SX-R :drool

Had a JS550 and a couple 650s. The SXi was the first dual carb with the 750. Man they are fun!

Ah don't sweat it I knew you weren't ******, I guess I'm biased myself. I practically grew up on/around stand-ups and going to all the IJSBA races in SoFla. Anyone can go fast on a couch but it takes more skill to do it on a stand-up. I also **** the people that race around for no reason and ruin the calm water.

Two years ago I was invited to perform wakeskating demos at BRP's annual dealer meeting in the Palm Desert. It was more of their own little trade show, but one of the two locations they set up was a test site for all of the reps to try out the 2008 PWC's. I've never seen so many vessels needing to be towed out of the cat tails that surrounded the lakes, and the scary thing is that these people sell them to the public!

[vdubkid]

Looks sick already, and it's not even done. Can't wait to see if finished.

[Chris@MemoryFab]

Jesus you are crazy:rofl

[vdubkid]

A while ago I saw a picture of this motorcycle painted to look like a WWII Zero fighter. Rivets, oil streaks, and "kill" stencils. It looked really good, but for the life of me I can't find it.

[frink84]

mike, you should buy this cooler and mount it on the roof rack

Army green is in. T'is gonna be sick.


How many cars do you have Mr. Burroughs? It seems like they are just multiplying in your yard. Like some sort of BMW virus...

[SeanDub]

I need this virus you speak of.

[M.Burroughs]

:shifty too many

[BADwayz]

:shifty too many

No such thing as too many cars. There can be too few parking spaces or too short of a budget to fix cars, sometimes even not enough time for your cars, but you can't ever have too many cars.

[M.Burroughs]

Fair enough.

Not enough space.
:(

[schroedin]

Any updates? Estoy interesado.

[M.Burroughs]

Project canceled.

[schroedin]

:(

[SeanDub]

I was waiting for this post.

[vdubkid]

Project canceled.

lame

[E36Bimmer93]

Now I know where I got the idea for an army green E28. Fuck. I'm going to look at an E28 tomorrow that I can get for like $100, and I was thinking to myself that army green would look pretty good. I must have seen this thread a while back and forgot about it yet somehow kept the idea in mind. Damn it anyways. Gotta come up with a new plan now :(

....Is the project really cancelled Mike?

[M.Burroughs]

This season of Green E28 has been canceled. Tune in next time.

[BADwayz]

I know the gears are turning, but have you decided what you are going to do instead yet?

[Reudiger]

want to see more of the car, Mike!

[punkhop83]

Mike's to busy driving all over the country

[boligrafo123]

i like it bro! i say you go MASH style on it. willies style grille slats, reuse the KC lites with a roof mounted lite rack. gas cans on the back bumper, white army stars, shovel and axe straped to one side, small winch.

:)

[mpower5266]

[BeemerBuyer]

Mike,
do you still have that Mercedes sedan with the sweet interior?

It was so sick.

[M.Burroughs]

I do have the benz but I don't think I will own it much longer.
