The stance of this thing is just perfect - low, sleek and aggressive.

Pat yourself on the back - that's one impressive looking ride.  :cheers:

OK - just a few more pics... :-D

I couldn't be more pleased with the way this turned out.  This thing is so far out, it looks like it just landed from another planet.

One of my friends suggested orange tint on the lexan.  I think I might just go for it...









The receiver hitch will get the same flat black treatment as the hood.

Steve

Nice job. Color will look outstanding against the white salt.

The rake looks just right. Now comes the fun part. The mechanics.

Thanks for sharing.

Amazing how much that car and my Mustang have the same front end design.

Indeed.   :-o  The Rampage is an '84.  What year is the Mustang?

Window net arrived today.  Boring black color. :evil:




The green & orange is a theme I've got working.  I know I've posted some of these pics before, but the cycling team I race on (Cannonball / Hub Cycling) has a lot of orange & green on our team kits (jerseys and shorts).  I'm trying to keep this color combo working.




PS - the cyclocross pic is from last season.  Our new "team" helmets are black and green, and the new team shoes are white and green.

That's actually my wife's bike.  I had loaned my cyclocross bike out to a newcomer to the sport, and my wife was generous enough to let me race hers.
