    Duct tape. There needs to be at least on piece of duct tape on Isobell. Interior, on the seat, visor, whatever. It should be the very last thing to go on the car. When you put up a picture of the ratrod properly duct taped, then we'll know it's officially done, or at least running.

    Not quite Dave... New exhaust still needs built, the straight pipe is just WAY too loud with the catless shorty header.

    Went out to the garage today, saw her sitting on her peg legs, grabbed a pair of pliers out of the tool box and went back in the house... Its too cold out there to even try messing with anything out there! Especially with no motivation, because there is no possible way to make the Dragon. :(

    Nah, but I'm sure I will see what an R60 can actually do on a trail this summer. :) I'm so ready for camping season, only got to go a dozen or so times last year. :(

    Tears came to my eyes I was laughing so hard when I read that quote! :D

    I took that pair of pliers back out to the garage, and thought about putting the front wheels back on, so I could get it off the jack stands... But its just too damn depressing to think about touching it. :(

    Yup it's a Colorado torist attraction.

    Because that's what happenes when you run a Sprintex with Bytronic FA tuning software. Your car blows up and sits in a garage so people can come and see what it looks like.

    It's now known as the RatRod Sculpture. :lol::lol::lol::lol:

    Wow Savvy... Its not a rapper!

    Yeah Dave, people have dropped in from around the country to catch a glimpse of it doing what it seems to do best... Sit there, lifeless. :(

    Jeff, any time you find yourself back up in these parts, stop on by, you're always welcome. :)
