Impressive! Actually all the stuff you fab up is impressive! But since I'm a po mofo and have to do everything myself, looking at your work makes me feel inadequate.
You've got Ninja skillz, I've got rubber nunchucks with a broken string!

Sweet work as always Don

I really like how you attached the skins to the fender. We go through the pain in the ass way of fully welding and blending the skin to the tubing.
