And I thought it couldn't get worse.... I can hear my wallet sobbing some nights...
Poor lil guy.. :)
 
I know the feeling. I haven't even started the Savage yet, and I'm craving the Rock crawler so I can run something out back anytime.
I'd like to see some pics with the lid off.
 
Go big or go home.

Nice job.
 
Thanks for the extra pics. It's the roof and windshield that threw me. It's so beautiful without a lid, I can't wait to see it with one.
 
oooh.... I can't wait for that one. Got anything special in mind?

It's gonna be some combination of Hard Anno Orange, Chrome, Black and Hard anno smoke.... Not sure yet on a scheme.. There really isn't a whole lot of room on these 5B lids to do anything crazy... You can bet money they'll be skulls on it though... lol

Those colors sound awesome together. I especially love that hard anno orange.. badass color right there!
 
Nice rig man. I just love that orange.

I wish that things would have worked out, I was saposed to get one for my birthday, but then my parents have decided against it for some dumb ass reason, I think its beacuse I opend my my fat mouth about a lap top. I'm bummed lol. Now I'm back to sitting staring at all your pretty bajas. lol.

I love the orange and the smoke black will look great! Hey what engine did you end up getting in that thing and are you going to do anything to the engine itself like chrome case plates?

Oh and what pipe and manifold is that on there? The hellfire...missle...? And wheres the exhaust come out of it? Can you post a pic. of that for me please? Thanks.

Oh and a close up of the intake system on it too. And do you think its possable to get a super charger on that thing? Thanks again.
(The reason I'm asking is because i got one!!! YEAY!!!)
