  3. Someone posted up once that the words ''awesome'' and ''cool'' were overused and lost their meanings.
    Well, lemme tell ya, this rod is both, to the hilt.

    The windshield frame is from a 1957 Larson boat I cut it down and welded to fit,I wanted a 50's style wrap around windshield and this seemed to be the best option ,I am going to cut a windshield out of polycarbonate sheet heat it and bend it....

  27. Riding in that has got to be a blast! For a sense of proportion, I would love to see it next to a stocker.
