...you can't resist that last minute, Chris Perosi, wrenching to the midnight hour, urge to get in one more project. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" />

As a little teaser... here's what i find myself into after this past weekend... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

[Linked Image]

There a couple more pictures of the destruction on my site

This weekend, I'll be heading down to visit my friend and owner of Carolina Rock Shop where the two of us plan to be bending tube all day Saturday. I'm crossing my fingers my new PRP racing seats arrive before then.

Stay tuned. There should be plenty more picts to follow.

I didn't think the forum rules allowed "topless" pictures. I thought they should at least be sporting a bikini top.

I knew you were thinking about it but I guess you bit the bullet. Looks pretty good, are you going to use a bikini top or leave it open?

Very nice look. I can't wait to see more.

when looking for a container to hold drained brake fluid, find a container that is different from the beverage you are currently consuming.

WOW!


I showed the photos to Miss Kathy... She thinks you're nuts!

I on-the-other-hand am really liking where you're going with this
(and I believe that fact alone is probably scaring the begeezus out of her! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> )


Keep those photos coming! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Sure, why not start a chop-top project with 3 weeks to go <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Actually, getting it ready in time is within reason. A weekend or so to bend up tube and get the cage in there and you're set. All of the 'fine details' could always be done after you get back if need be. Right? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Keep taking those pictures <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

How long did it take to put the extra rear door handles on your pickup?

ah, but see, your logic fails you. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> you're assuming this is my only project in need of completion before Moab. I also started the trailer hut a few weeks back that still awaits completion.

Rodeo is pretty much ready for the cage right now. I only have Sat to bend tube as our tube bender is out of comission and i'm relying soly on my friend Andy at CRS. Sun hopefully i'll finish weld all the tubing and work on underbody supports of cage. Then i gotta paint and herc the interior. Lets not forget reassemble the dash (i fear this one). And then load up with enough time for 2-3 days driving across country.

You're right, I'll make it! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" />
