    Not my preferred choice of material, but I can certainly appreciate your workmanship. Well done....

    CptKaos, you are just too damned talented. Nice piece of work.

    I must believe that some of these guys are really good at yankin' our tails, not knowing what a "rat" is; or am I just a real dinosaur?? Hell, I wrenched on my first Rat in 1965, and have had an on again-off again love affair with them every since. Thay fall into the cl*** of the true "ground pounders", in my estimation; right up there with Hemis, and some others..
