    Is that the EV West car or another 818E?

    Hardtop is about 8-10 months out according to a phone call last week to ffr. Had to order some more parts and was curious. Perfect timing for summer next year.

    The Buzz Lightyear Meme reminds of posting welds on the internet.

    Suddenly everyone's an AWS Certified Welder in GTAW, GMAW, FCAW, and EXW (Explosion welding). With 25 years of experience. Nothing you post is ever good enough and you might as well be hot gluing **** together.

    I resemble that! My handle on Amazon is "I know everything!" I'm an expert on hot gluing or HMA's, too. There's clear, amber, straw colored, etc. and they all have their different applications. EVA is the best for steel and aluminum. Don't forget "JB Weld"...

    I like the yellow and black combo and the quality of the paint job look quite good. I'm sure it will draw admirers at SEMA.

    I'm late to the party but I'm impressed. Very impressed. Your aggressive front end is what I was looking for, a way to make the front look more aggressive. It just gave me an idea for when I'll be there (mid 2015 I guess).
