Reply:Awesome, looks like an original idea also!  It must have taken some elbo grease on those spikes!  I appreciate the shovel though in the last photo.  Sometimes guys forget to provide relative size comparison when posting.  Keep it up.-MikeThurston WeldingHuntington, IN

Reply:That's great. I like scorpions as long as they are like that one. And outside. Wife started hollering and raising cane night before last in the kitchen. I ran to see what was wrong and there was a scorpion in the kitchen sink. I asker her what all the fuss was about and pointed out all she had to do was turn on the water.
Reply:Love it!!! Hope u did'nt weld in a venom gland!!!
Reply:Very Nice
Reply:It's great.  I love everything else around it too.  In most cases having brake rotors and pinion gears in the front yard is very "redneckish" but congratulations on pulling it off. Very nice.  What the hell is that giant broken wheel from?ars sine scientia nihil est

Reply:I hear ya on the clearcoat thing. Drop a clearcoat fan and their car here in Az and see how long it takes them to come to dislike one another. I'll take an old fashioned laquer paint job, 6 mils thick, over a three mil clearcoat paint job any day of the week, even though I dont like laquer either. Solvent based clear top coat over a water born base coat is a dumb idea. Sun shines through the top coat , changez colr of the base coat as it cuases the top coat to separate and eventually flake off. Repaint the whole damn car is th only solution that really looks good. Guess how I know? Ok , rant ios over . Really cool scorpion, wish I thought of that first........Mike.
