    This Is a customers car that is street legal, licensed, insured and driven regular. the gal that owns it keeps it in the garage and her late model in the drive way. It was built by her father and she loves it, had a passenger car windshield upside down that was so unsafe. I built an ugly boat style windshield with goober welds to match the rest of the car.I have to have it ready for a car show at her Grandson's school next weds [​IMG]

    I'm usually of the libertarian mindset that people should be left alone to do whatever the fuck they want.

    But that... "car?" Fuck no, it should be impounded and cut up!!!

    what I like best is I get into a lot of shops and garages. get to look in back yards and under tarps and see things that I've always dreamed of. It's a great way to make a few bucks and spend a lot more than I make [​IMG]
