UH OH. Just Bored, Painting Some Art Work to hang on the wall

Hayyyyy Thats Good Pipe, Thats Good Pipe

Bake it, per the instructions on the VHT paint can.
I did, and the paint is hard.
But it chips rather easily. Just be careful after the bake.

YO yo Yo Thanks Bro skies

How bout some boring stuff..

Massive Tabs.....temps for now

Finishing up the compartment for a single port Hmmmmm

[fredybear]

How Bout Another

That was a pain to put in with everything together


Why do you need a mid mount with a single port hmmmm

[fredybear]

I did it

3 Weeks of suffering

You all know I couldn't function with mixed matched tie rods, my neuron's wouldn't fire correctly

Now which ones are better O BOY

[fredybear]

Gauges

for a single port makes no sense hmmm

Pretty Shifter, whats the point hmmmm

Tach, you know ya just shift at the speedo marks, right hmmm

[Buggeee]

I'm not unique in saying I have that shifter, but I do and I like the short throw. Also the black pool-ball fits nicely in the palm.

While there is easy access, might as well throw in a kafer-bar for the.... um... single port.

Would the tach have fit into the hole to the right of the speedometer, if you rounded the straight edges slightly? Then you don't have the gauge way down out of direct sight like you have it now, and a target for a passenger's knee bumping it.
