Just hope it doesn't get as windy as here, otherwise the down force is really going to bend some metal..... and my concern is so coz your head is going to be right under it.

Nice Bronco, have seen it before and liked the job. Always wondered who was behind this achievement.

I like the Mercedes G500. Gives me the idea for a new project.
Always wanted a G wagon.

Mr. R,
Sweet! Nice Paint Job, Like the retro look! :D :D :o This will be the next paint job! :D Thanks

Top,
It seems like you have badged my 825 a "pope mobile" :D , so from now on it will be called the "pope mobile" and nothing else. :lol:

Sam,
I don't think the mutt is capable of speeds which can create down force, i think at 60kmh there is not going to be much down force to bend 16 gauge metal pipes :roll: .
