I had a great time! I might of fallen off and into a few Ravines busted my elbow but other than that all is good and the bike is still in one piece!! Really hoping that in January you and Henry can come down to Ocotillo for a weekend. It's pretty awesome!! Lots of cool stories to tell!

You're doing a hell of a job on the frame and firewall...looking really good!!

It might be worth one of those cheap Southwest Airline tickets to Cali to get a ride in your truck when it's done
About 4 years ago I blew a head gasket on one side of the motor, I was in the middle of nowhere and had to putt-putt it back to a shop 500 miles later. I think some of the damage might of been done then. At least I assume that's when it was done, who knows though, could of been done at some other point.

Your more than welcome to fly out to sunny california and spend time helping me put this thing back together!! You'll like our beaches, there's no oil slicks floating around like ya'll have in the gulf!!

What's wrong with your skin? Is that a disease? Is it contagious?

No idea. It's not much whatever it is, maybe 10 lbs at the absolute most. I did this so I can clean and work on my truck without having a nasty wax streak left on whatever part of my clothing or body touched the frame. And since I'm gonna be spending a lot of time in the next few weeks running fuel lines as well as some wiring, I think for the peace of mind when it's all back together I'm glad I did it.

I just got back home a few hours ago and the stuff is completely dry and it's some tough stuff. I couldn't take that off with a scrapper if I had to, and it's pretty shiny! Just wish my garage wasn't as dusty cuz that paint now has little specs on it in some places. Oh well, I'm not building the riddler here. I'll get more pics tomorrow morning and see if I can't get one last coat on.

Yup, It's basically the Superbowl of all car awards. There is none bigger in the automotive world when it comes to custom cars.
