    a hot rod is whatever i decide it is.

    as per usual.
    installing everything takes much more time than i anticipated.
    for instance i had a cracked motor mount.
    i already know this so there is no earthly reason for me to say to myself.
    self i will be done in 5 minutes.
    but now all i have to do is install the rad ,connect a few hoses and 1 throttle cable.
    i will be breaking it in today

    one day i called it the love weasel and my wife started referring to the rod as that.
    so it stuck.....



    it's better than it's original name
