Default Picked up this idea..What do you think?

Ok I was driving down the road this weekend.For some reason thinking I wanted to do something trick with my mailbox.So here is what I came up with.
I am thinking about building a nitrous bottle looking mail box.
I havent pitched the idea to Courtnay yet.She may not like having a nitrous bottle for a mail box.LOL But it want be the first time I have done something she didnt like.If I made these to sell would there be any interest?
So what do you think?
Dave

I seen people with headers on thier mailboxes, but not a bottle yet, any idea of how it would look? hehe

BTW thanks for the nitrous ring its truly a work of art, fit was a little tight but I was very happy with the quality, and nothing a hammer couldnt fix, haha. you guys and TNT helped propel my rig in the 9s last weekend!

I want to know if it's going to be a n2o bottle mailbox for a dry hit or a wet hit? That's what I will base my opinion on.

Well I guess when your local kids decide to play mailbox baseball if its not raining it would be a dry shot and if it is raining it would be a wet shot.
How about that?

Count me in. I want one. But it better be as strong as a real bottle so I can bolt it down. I don't want anyone stealing it.
As far as the wife goes... shoot fitst and ask questions later..

Let me take a pic of the mailbox by my house....

it's a pig on all fours with her eyes bugged out of her head. why do i know it's a her? cause the maile pig is behind it hitting that stuff doggystyle with a big grin on it's face! makes me smile everytime, hahaha.

i think a direct port nitrous kit on a mailbox with headers would be badass. how would you make JUST the bottle be the mailbox? got any sketches?

Well we are actually thinking about using a real bottle so I feel sorry for who ever tags it with a bat.

That is sweet, put a nitrous bottle on top of that and it would be awesome!

I would probably buy one for my home in Jax if it wasn't too expensive

That just mean, not evil. But it would have to be a real bottle. everyone that wants one, get with Dave. We might actually build a few, real bottle and vavle, the whole works. And know you will be able to nitrous in, the thing is going to be cut in half. lol.
