    thats actually partially why i went with the bumperettes to be honest...i got to thinking about how the taillights protruded out there with no means of protection,,,,i plan on driving the piss outta this thing when its done,,,besides, from a design standpoint, they just needed to be there,,,

    mars rules man,,,,
    it never gets dark, so we can weld all night,,:D
    and the atmosphere is comprised of argon, so all we need is a tank of CO2,,,much cheaper,,,,

    Holey shit dude, I think I just filled the cup!

    As much as I love this thing I just cant get over the name. Look up Ford Telstar and you will understand.
    Doc.

    PS, did I mention how much I love your build? I seem to remember something about that before??
