    Nice stuff, some very creative people here. Now you got me thinking about drilling my axle.

    Folded the damn chair at last year's finals meet, two seasons on the dragster and still holding up (fingers crossed here). :D

    Yeah, I do my own work. For me it's the best part.

    There's a Flick'r build photo album linked to each of the labels in my signature, just click on "Barn Job #18". The latest front shot is near the end.

    There're also some brackets here and there on'er that I've ventilated.
     
  13. I drilled my axle myself and painted it black, then used a little paintbrush to paint the insides of the holes white to highlight them.

    I drilled holes in my homemade gas pedal more for traction than for lightening.

    Holey puncture wounds Toxicman, if there's an award for it you should decidedly be in contention. :D

    Cool thread!
     
  30. Good, we are safe masterbating then!

    On a serious note, I didn't think I wanted to drill any holes this time around..........well, this thread and getting stuck at home in a blizzard had me laying out holes on my backing plates last night:eek:
