New old guy from Texas

Some of you guy smay remember me, some of you may not. My name is Chris and I disappeared from the club almost 2 years ago when I sold my S-10. I got out of the loop, lost interest in any sort of shows or the lifestyle in general, and in turn let a lot of my Acro brothers down....many of which are no longer with the club. I had another project S-10 in full swing and was keeping it a very tight lipped secret in hopes of debuting it at Heat Wave 2008, but soon lost the will to dump a ton of money into something I would never get it back out of, and some of the members of the club got good deals on parts (Dustin with his Intros!) With this being said, I still don't have anything worth showing, nor even running an Acro logo on ('07 TBSS & 97 Sonoma work truck), but would still like to say hey to my fellow Acro brothers that would remember me, Diego, Dustin, Mike-O, anyone else I'm leaving out who was around in '06, and also hey to the new brothers in my area (TXK). And just in case everyone needs a refresher course to remember the old truck, I will post a pic.....just for old times sake.

Chris

Profile set to private.

Hopefully I fixed it

Chris

welcome back man.. get that TBSS layed out

Dude I wish I could do that, but it takes quite a bit to get them to lay, and I don't want to spend the cash on it. I'd rather spend that money on making it faster.

Chris

air cylinders up front and sleeves in the rear and you'll be adjustable...

thats all that was done to Mikes old TB:

i remember seeing that truck at turkey drag 06 for the first time... bad ass truck!

If I were to bag it, I would do the new Shockwaves designed for the SSR's and TB's, then do a custom set-up in the rear, not bag over axle like it is now. But, the thought hasn't crossed my mind because I want to keep it as hassle free as I can.....the most I'll do to the suspension is toss on some Belltech struts with DJM arms, and adjust the rear bags to level it out which will net me with about a 2" drop on top of the SS suspension. Now if I happen to inherit a large chunk of change these plans would change, of course.

Chris

Oh yeah I remember that dime! Looked good!

wow chris glad to see you back, saw your dime for sale a few weeks back, the guy wanted 15k, didnt you sell it for like 8?

Sold it for $9500 to a guy in Colorado. Do you have a link to the for sale ad?

Chris

Hey Brandon, where are you stationed on Ft Stewart? A guy I work with is there doing some work on the Bradleys on Engineer Road. I might be there in a couple of months after I complete my training.

Chris

I am with 3BSB, our motorpool is off of McFarland Ave. I am not familiar with Engineer Rd.

Cool deal! Now that I'm working with some of the sights in the Bradleys it gives me a whole new respect for the things the soldiers do on a daily basis.

Chris

whats up chris, and welcome back! what happened with your crew cab, trade it for the TBSS?

I saw your truck at TD 06 too. Didn't you work in downtown texarkana for awhile?

what's up chris? long time no hear from.... lol

whats up chris ...bro that truck is the best looking DIME i ever seen ...glad to see u check in family

Farmer- Yeah I got rid of the crew cab in place of the TBSS and I have regretted it ever since. The truck would have looked good with a 2-4 drop on some 24's vs the SS that is going to have to stay stock for a while.

Geoff- Yeah man I used to work at Lone Star downtown. If I remember correct, you and Juan used to hang out back 5 or 6 years ago, correct? I think I remember your truck with the flames on it, right? Glad to see someone in the area carrying the Acro logo!

Mike-O- You're right, long time, no talk! But hopefully now I can be in the loop at least a little bit. But my interests have moved from being flashy and show-worthy, to being more into the speed side of things. Speaking of which, since you're in Longview, have you or anyone you know there done any business with East Texas Muscle Cars on McCann Road? I wouldn't mind at least running over there one day and making a run on the dyno just to see where I'm at ya know.

So-Cal guy (not sure if you're name is Joey or not)- Thanks for the compliments. I had a very bittersweet relationship with the truck, and miss it dearly. My main regret is building it to show and not to drive. If I am ever able to build another one (keep in mind I DO have a good candidate in the DD) I will stop at bagging it and not doing a BD or silly motor swap. I will gladly take a super clean DD over a spotless trailer clean any day from my past experiences.

Now if Cody will let me know where he saw it for sale at I can get to sleep. I'm anxious to see what it looks like a year and a half later.

Chris

yeah, that guy is almost across the street from my ex inlaws. i pass by it all the time. my ex father in law (who i get along with) knows him well and so does my ex wifes husband. (who i also get along with well lol) he does some bad ass work from what i here. it's a small shop behind his house but there's always vettes and gto's sittin out there. i passed by about 2 hours ago and he only had 2 gto's and a couple of other cars outside so he may be gettin caught up. lol when you do hola at me, i'd like to go over there with ya. my number is 903-452-8112

Hey buddy yeah we know the muscle car guys pretty good. Cj with the blue fullsize that has worked at every parts store around is best friends with him and does alot of airbrushing on his vettes and gto's.
