Hey everyone, been awhile since I stopped by. The lighting is still rocking but haven't had much time to do anything with her. Most of my time is being put towards getting ready to open to the public by March 25th.
We just produced a cool new video and I thought with most of you being Car...
Surprised this movie hasn't been mentioned yet.(At least search turns nothing up for Rush or Ron Howard.)
Here's the trailer if you have been living under a rock.

Nothing special, just don't think I've ever posted this one before, and found it hiding out on my hard drive the other day. I decided to edit the hell out of it. Some will like it, others will hate it....

Well I blew my head gasket at the track tonight. So I figured what better way to finish it off before I rip the motor out and rebuild her, than to go out with a bang. (I do not advise this, unless your...
Been working on the truck in the garage for the past few weeks whenever I had a free second.
Decided to put her on the rollers and see if the mods were worth it.

YouTube- Mustang vs Lightning
Short and quick story...
On the way home from a meet, and this stang goes flying by me. He then hits the brakes as he's passing and slows up next to me. So I let him get the hit.
(and yes it was a roll from an ungodly speed..I think 75 or 80mph)
He gave me...

Worst time of day to do it... High noon.
I didn't even bother messing with apeture settings at all. As we were just testing locations for the main photoshoot coming soon.
I wasn't even planning on posting these public, but I haven't posted in...
