this is the frame from that rolled '99 I acquired last summer. the rear half was a bit rusted so I picked up a replacement from a 2010. today was a blast; hammering, drilling, grinding, groaning, chiseling, and making lots of noise. :yahoo:

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
Demo day is always fun.

I'm waiting for some young kid to ask why there's an electrical cord hanging out of the handle of your drill, right where the battery is supposed to be.

That reminds me. I have a can of WD-40 that lost it's pressure but is still half full of oil. I need to put that in a more useful container.
