I know I'm late on this one, but nice kill. I love it when people look under my hood and can't figure out what they're lookin' at.

yeah, i was hoping to get around to fabbing up my hot side piping this weekend . but i got stung by a freaking wasp on my "welding" hand and it now looks like a catchers mitt. since then i have been walking around the yard with a can of bug spray looking for anything that moves! i will get pics up when i get something done though!
