no...not yet but im gonna work on that this week i may use come square tubing i have to build it i kind of have an idea on how im gonna build mine in order to be able to take off if i need it

[luifer76]

i seen a lot of people build theirs with round tubing but square tubing should work.....

[mooseknuckles]

same here...I need mine to be removable too...cause I dont think I can get at the front trany bolts...so if the tranny has to come out, the motor might too....

Hey MK I read your whole build, you have great fab skills I wish I was half as good as you are, I know your paint job is temporary but was thinking you could outline your flames with pin-striping tape in a medium blue or any color you like. It would really stand out better, I hope you don't mind the suggestion. Keep up the great work...Vernski

[mooseknuckles]

hey thanks alot vernski......thats the whole idea of ghost flames. I have some more body work to do, and some new doors to go on,...so I'm thinkin bout changing it up some..
