At the rate you are going, the nearly indestructable G10 will be the weak point in your creation. That is gorgeous work!

This looks really, really nice! :rocker

Nice touch with the muffler location and it adds some bling! B-)

Do you get to have a license plate frame that says "I live for pot holes :evillol "

Bad Bent, thanks for the comments - The Licence plate frame would be too full of holes to have anything on it!! :D
