Looks great, except for all those gay ass street rod parts... HaHa

When are you painting the upside down cross on the door?

Stop buy the shop on your way to good guys and we'll put some satan on that fucker.

It would rule for you to pull into goodguys with the death cross on your door. Please? For me? You can grind it off afterwards.

I love Satan.

Damn i love that truck, the last few weeks are the best.....lack of sleep......plenty of junk food & 24hrs a day gearhead feeling totally knackered, keep going you'll be driving it soon!

<font color="red"> Sleep is highly overrated anyway. That looks real nice. </font> http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Some of my best ideas come from sleep deprivation and the hallucinegenic state it brings with it...but then again... some of my ideas look good only when I reach that zone again! That thing is cool as phuck. I have a soft spot for W motors (and at the top of my head http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif).
