    Congratulations Nick C!

    I totally understand the "Life Getting In The Way" aspect of projects such as these.

    It's a Polaris Slingshot. I decided I was getting too old for two wheels under my butt, so three it is. I've actually toyed with the idea of stars and stripes for the roadster. It felt good to hear the rumble finally. On another subject, how do you put information about your build at the bottom of a thread like you and others have? Nick

    Congratulations. It's been 6 years but it hasn't gone out of style. Looks good.

    In the upper right hand corner of your screen it says "settings". Hit settings and then look for "edit signature" to the left on the next screen. Thats where you add info about your build, guotes or whatever you want.

    Thanks to all. It's comes with a big sigh once it starts. But , there is still a bunch to do.
