It is rather simple, he / she build an iron sculpture!
I am thinking of calling it "Fluffy", when it is done. She will be one hell of a cyber creature. To be continued...

P.S. yes, it is my unpainted XJS in the back, because humanity has failed me yet again! Looking for good shop to get her all pretty.

Even though my baby just spent 6 weeks in some lazy a-hole's garage, doing nothing, she runs perfect. Purrs like a *****!

Evolution took millions of years, I spent 2 hours so far, please let me play god a little longer.
I have tons of ideas, but milligrams of time, will play with it a little more today and post some pics.

Not only does mine run great, It has been the most reliable car I've ever had. I have had this one since '98, and other than tinkering, mods, and maint., the only failure I've had was a coil that died. I have about 170K miles, and I drive her like I stole her... still original paint that looks new. I am going to have to pull the radiator as it isn't rejecting heat as well as it should, but it's never been out, and it's due for a new core.
The '83 I had was a different story...If you don't maintain these things like you should, they are a nightmare.
