Same instructions work with flickr as well for images. just choose "bbcode" for share. Then just copy and paste the link they provide you.

Re: insane 1st build
 

WTF,
I have seen alot of badazz builds on this board and at alot of our meets I have to say this looks like it is going to be a real head turner. I think you should have went all out and stretched it just a little bit.lol...Great job I hope to see this bad boy at Indy or a show along the way..Don't listen to those two guys you can turn that rig around in Brooklyn if you went behind the Battery Tunnel..lol

TONY

Re: insane 1st build
 

lmao!!! well I gotta say is yes, yes you 2 are right! there whould be no way to turn this thing ANYWHERE in NYC!! BUT.... after 20 yrs of driving big rigs with 1000's of deliveries in nyc. well id probably take it there just to run a&&holes cars over that car park or drive!! lol

Re: insane 1st build
 

Nice work all around. Gives me some ideas for a reefer trailer. Did you heat the styrene to make the bends or just pressure?

Re: insane 1st build
 

wow great build going there. Real nice ideas. I will be watching this one
