    You can start with this. It looks like a good candidate for practice.

    Man, I'm sure gonna miss that thing once you ruin it by painting it. :(

    Have you decided on a color yet? How 'bout a 'scheme' or are you going to put the stripe kit on it?

    Details, man. We need details!

    So did you buy all that equipment to give it to 'your friend', Terry? :mad:


    I'll scratch your eyeballs out! Pffffffffft!


    Actually, I'm in favor of keeping it just the way it is - fo real. I think it has a certain "abstract" appeal to it.
