Nope, I like my pipes. He just wanted to hear what his sound like & his motor is not done yet.

Now that winter & my sons hockey season is almost done I can get back to working on the Rat!

I am still in love with your headlights....... every time I see them I think about building my own set, but I am sure they wouldn't look right on my rig......

 

[Docsholiday]

Go for it!

I applaud what you're up to and I like the direction your Rod is going.
Rebar...use it. You'll be fine as long as you continue to be smart about your applications.

I hope you put some sort of pan on that seat when you drive..... I might be afraid something sould slip through the cracks and get stuck.... or then again maybe you have all the kids you want......

 

[supergoatsack]

Don't worry, I won't drive it nude!

 

[Neverdone]

Just looking out for your best interests............

I love the grill. One of the prettiest I have seen. I will weigh in on the debate here by saying I work around metal a lot and I am just very glad the truck wont be on the road where my kids are. But we all learn our own way, so enjoy. And if you prove all of us wrong, I will be among the first to tell you I was wrong.

I have a full summer on my truck minus the time spent on my legal battle with the WI State Patrol. It's still holding together!

 

[Neverdone]

Glad to hear it. What was the battle over?

He posted on KB. The state didn't think it was safe.

I got pulled over by the local rod/harley hater. He gave me a fine for improper registration & said he was having DOT pull my plates. Said I could no longer register it with the original title. It took 4 months until we got to talk to his bosses boss, he said the fine was BS & all charges should be dropped. So the Super Trooper had to call the DA & tell him he was mistaken & to drop the charges. He had to do the same thing previously with another local rodder. His issue took longer to resolve but his efforts made my issue easier.

It wasn't the state, it was one ill advised trooper with a hatred of all things cool! The higher ups in the state straightened him out.

 

[supergoatsack]

This is my post from KB. I can't see where it says the state found it to be unsafe.

I have a clean title, "regular" plates, & a trooper known for messing with Harleys & Rods froze my title & pulled my registration. Also got a fine for improper registration. His claim is any vehicle with modifications to the engine, frame, or body makes it a "homebuilt" that is required to meet current model year safety & emissions standards. He has pulled the same with others in the area. We are currently fighting it & are looking for more to join the cause.
