One Man's Trash
Is another mans fun times. The base was fished from the trash, the seat a spare from the Time traveler Zombie FB. The steering extension tube from a blown up Corolla strut, and some random brackets to hold it all together. Thanks to Dan's neighbor for the U-clamp. Still fully adjustable!

I'm a bit of a nut, I find it magical to...
Cutting Springs, the Guide
So, this is an old debate that needs to be put to rest. The first thing that comes to mind when people hear about cut springs is 'ricer bounce'. This is very much a reality of cutting springs, you will end up with a bouncy ride if all you do is cut your springs, but cutting springs isn't a bad thing.
