    I have a serious problem with anything mechanical. If it has wheels especially!  ;DProbably has to do with growing up in a resto shop for brit cars. My main hobby is wrenching, I do all my own work, and I have a motorcycle problem as well as a mopar problem. I also spend some time at the track with my Triumph S3...Maybe soon with my challenger? Here are some before and after pics

    '75 Honda CB 550

    Before

    After

    After again (still working on this one)

    After


    @ the track (I'll buy the hi res when I get a little faster...)

    That was me. Beautiful place. If I could find a job that paid real money there I'd be there in a heartbeat.

    It is kind of cool to find and hold a Meglodon shark tooth in your hand that is 5 to 30 million years old.

    Meglodon sorta makes a Great White seem like a punk.   :scared:

    When I'm away from cars, I enjoy motorcycles (been bear-free since spring of '05  :lol2:), model car building, and atv-ing (used to have an '86 Honda TRX200SX I rebuilt from the ground-up).  I used to hunt/fish, but just haven't had the time to fish lately and got out of hunting quite some time ago.

    thanks everybody,  the rose is kinda special to me. It`s forged stainless, and is part of a cor-ten steel grave monument I made for my mother.
    Most things I make I just have to get out of my head...so I make them in steel. The only problem is there is a lot in my head, and even more work on the Cuda... :biggrin:
    thanks
