    Yer mate's a good sort! it'd be cool done like the 'J, but with a modern banger in it, something that'd really rip, it'd still be light and well balanced.

    When your handed a blank canvas it can be very hard to decide what to paint, I'm finding the same thing when it comes to a bit of sheet metal. Your head fills with thoughts of all the different things you want to do and it becomes a jumbled mess and because you don't know where to start you end up just looking at the canvas with a drooling stare that makes post frontal lobatomy Jack Nicholson look like a Mensa canadate. This happens to me all the time when customers ask me to design them a seat and then don't give me a theme to atleast start with. Anyway, I'm drifting, my point is, when I first saw the cover pulled off the little gem , my brain instantly pictured a miniture Henry-J g***er, so that is the direction I am heading. Let the sparks begin to fly.

    what a cool mate to give that up for your birthday!! Good luck with it. I am also curious about that fibergl*** looking camper in the background. The whole place seems to be a motorhead haven. Thanks for showing us the *Fiat, which stands for, *Fix It Again Tony. Just kidding you!~Sololobo~

    That'd be this one:

    Has run 10.7 @ 125mph, and regularly drags the sump and rear bumper on launch.

  11. Not sure if this is a 500 or 600 but you get the idea. Found the pic on the altered thread.
