This tree is kicking my ass. ...but it is slowly making its way to the side of the road for the city to pick up.

Maybe there are three things where penetration are important!!!
It would be nice if those roots had penetrated the groung a little more!!

It would go faster if you had a bigger wagon for hauling logs to the curb.
Always hate to see a big tree lost.

Yeah, that wagon has been through hell. My kids are long past wagon age...it has been used for yard work for the past 10 years. ...and it was under this tree when the tree fell.

I've been thinking about the car some more. I was impressed with how well the firewall brace worked out, that I am thinking about using more cop-car roll bar. I was thinking a hoop behind the dash would be good. I want to mount it on top of the next node back from the firewall. It should do a good job of keeping my outer frame rails from ribboning(flexing side to side) and give me a covientent place to mount steering column stuff.

The photos I usually have crap everywhere and makes dad's shop look like crap....but it is a really cool place to hang out and be creative.

It is kinda like doing metal fab inside a church. We just need to put stained glass in the end.

I found new Rally pics today. I think this thing is going to lean towards being Rally inspired ....again.

I had planned on taking the flatbed to Beatersville in Louisville, KY next weekend...but now I'm debating spending the three day weekend in the shop.

Not sure what the next step should be, but I wanna do it.
