    I didn't see this posted anywhere else on here and ran across it on the net and it just happens to be on one of Ryan's other sites; the Garage Journal. The car is pretty O/T, but I thought there was some pretty *****in' fabrication ***ociated with the build. Thought a few others might dig the fab work at least.

    AGAIN! A little off topic for what we're into around here, but thought it was note-worthy because of the fabrication ***ociated with it. O/T or not, I definitely appreciate good fabrication...

    Beautiful work. I won't hesitate to run a motor some day, if neccessary, due to future government interference.

    Nice fab work. I thought that electric motors didn't need transmissions yet he appears to running a T5.

    That guy is so good he didn't have to explain - just here it is. That is some serious fabrication and for some reason i don't think he had a lot of mistake parts/pieces lying around his sheetmetal room like i do. Beautiful work.

    I have to agree, what fantastick fabrication skills. If and when Telsa cars start hitting the salvage yards we might see some hot electric rods that can be driven somewhere and back. http://www.teslamotors.com/
