    Teslors? I believe there is a DIY for it, but you get get it at Michaels Craft store for ~$5.

    I believe there is a picture a few pages back of the look I am going for, but yes. Everything will be welded out and made into a smooth finish.

    Fixed. I left bikes alone years ago after one lucky accident and a handful of fucked up and killed friends. Still a wonderful experience.

    THIS x1000. Wear boots to cover your ankles too. Wear pants and a jacket.
    Painful lesson. Could have been much worse. Hope you feel better soon.

    No gear and no experience with a friend on the back...

    Glad you guys are alive to talk about it. Get well soon!

    Posting from the hospital, I had surgery to clean out my left knee this morning. We were riding two-up, Steven was on the back, and I was an idiot with no clue what I was doing. Came towards a slight curve in the road, started to brake, the bike didn't slow down as I expected and I braked too hard, sliding out the front wheel. The road was repaved badly and the surface was basically little rocks (smaller than gravel) barely stuck into the tar. We lowsided on the left side and rolled a bit, then slid. Distance covered was probably 40+ feet, the bike slid 92' according to the police, and it jumped a curb so it's pretty fucked. We had helmets on but no other real gear. Lesson learned.

    The end of my weekend was spent in the ER after a motorcycle accident. So as a result, nothing got done. Hopefully I'll feel alright soon so I can get some work done.
    Hope you are ok...great looking car..

    Ah good point. Hopefully I'll get the car in the garage this week and do some welding...

    also, before you weld on the chassis be sure to put weld through primer on both ends.
    Sorry to be naive but why?
