Bored... and came across thie F150

Well, my parts delivery guy's truck broke down and I am waiting on a part so... since I had a bunch of free time today i was reading through some mags and looking around online and came across this guy. It may have been already posted but thought I'd add a link so yall can check it out. Nothing special, but the rear is a coil over 4link coversion!

Dude! A gullwing is just unbeleivable! I have worked on 1 and it was a convertible (not a gullwing)... August before last. They are just a beauty to look at! Thanks a lot for sharing that one Azmidget. Any more pics ? ?
And I have seen those sell for $500,000 and thats not nearly as good of shape as that one! I would guess you could get $750,000 - $1m


Matt 05fx : Nice ta meet ya! You workin for the dealership or an independant ? How long ?

I'd really like Gullwing doors on my F-150, wish I had the fabrication skill.

About a month ago this new 2010 Gullwing was spied

I'm at a dealer, 4 years next month... I haven't ever seen a gullwing in person, but a fair share of AMG's and rentech'd cars.

Ya we get a lot of the "higher end" of performance cars. We even get a couple Unimogs that roll through! Those things are just monsters! Well, nice ta meet ya Matt. I have been working here at a independant shop for about 5 years ( officially on the book) but my old man does own the place, so i started handing him wrenches and learning what tools were what at age 8. Here is another pic yall might enjoy :


This isn't one of our customer (although it would be nice, im sure). This car pulled up right behind me at the Bellagio (I think...). Phil Ivy (a fmous world Poker player) was the driver and jumped right out to a ****tail waitress obviously holding a drink he likes and a special Poker table all set-up just for him and his friends in their own "high roller" room. I have worked on a Mclaren though . . . ok didn't really work on it but a customer owns one, me perform the maintenance on it and get to drive it around once in a grat while. These cars are just un-real. They go 0-200 in 20 seconds (or right around that mark) making them the third fastest production car (or at least it was... things change pretty darn fast)
