It burns my retinas when I look at it, I love it. It will look way better once the valve cover is done too. Going for a frosted flakes/ tony the tiger theme.

Wow, I was just joking about painting the insides. But i really fucked up. I tightened one of the bolts too much and it snapped...


I was supposed to bring my mom to the airport in the morning too... i don't know what to do.

Hah, I was about to say, there is no way you can let the paint dry for a few hours and expect to put it on without smudgeing or scratching the soft paint...

Haha, I think it's awesome! What's is it from? Almost looks like Puss-in-boots from Shrek.
