HaHa! IM BACK!!!! Wow that was a long distraction! Anyway, an update! I turned around and sold the rotory for more than I bought the RX7 that it came out of. Now it is a matter of putting the old L18 back in there and giving it a much needed tune up! More to come

Just went throught all the pics again as i didnt remember much.
The work of Seth is outstanding. Im glad to see that im doin a lot of fabbin in a similar way as him, of course on a lesser level, but is nice to see the pro doin it as im self taught.
Its good to show how proper stuff is done as theres a lot of shit shown on the net that gives minitruckin an incredibly bad name.

Anyways, i see you have turned withe walls...why? that thing would kill it on skinny whites with those black steelies.
