    You should come talk to my nabor he goes on and on about how fast his mustang is. (I think it is because of the chrome parts he had someone put on it along with the tint)

    Always revving his engine at me for some reason. I thought he wanted to race but wouldn't do it for pink slips. He says he put $10,000 into it.

    I hear they have quite the trunk space.

          $10K?  Ha, we drive BMW's, that barely gets us a suspension refresh.  I could say that and only get one VANOS side redone.

            Right? loL $10K probably includes the price of the car and the chrome trim upgrades

                      I piss myself for no reason sometimes. I usually don't laugh afterwards. it's quite embarrassing : /

                                  That is awesome!!!  This is great work, make sure to use this sort of stuff on your resume in the future, employers would be very impressed.  Are those bronze bushings in the steering kingpin? What kind of top speed are you expecting from the vehicle? Does the driver wear a helmet?

                                    It's a multi-piece assembly, the inner shaft is steel, the top retainer is steel, the spacer is aluminum, the bushings are brass, and the sleeve part that the kingpin got welded too was steel.

                                    Top speed at this point will probably be about 30, but the gearing is all modular so swapping it out is a breeze. Yes, helmets are worn.
