    What's the most dangerous tool in your shop?

    gotta be the 4 inch dewalt angle grinder spinning at 13,000 rmps. had more than a few wheels explode on me as well as a real nice scar on my belly where it grabbed my t-shirt and cut the crap outta me.

    interior spray liner

    I did two types of Lizard skin (each took two coats). One coat for sound and one for noise. Sure wish i would have done it at the beginning of the build before "ANY" type of paint, primer, or sealer was installed. it was a beech masking off the world to keep the product off painted surfaces...

    New swap project in the planning stage right now

    Thanks Honky. It did sit on the rockers till I trimmed em off and welded it back up. Allowed it to drop another 1". Right now the bottom of the rockers are about 1/8" off the pavement. It sits down on the trimmed frame rails or at least the rivet in front.

    Sorry guys (and gals?) I posted these progress pics in this thread by mistake. I meant to post them in my build thread. I have since noticed my mistake and also posted there.
