Yes it's safe....proper welds, disk brakes, IRS ect.

just replace the "rat" with "hot" and im sure you will be ok in your discription
some folks just find the analogy offensive me i can take it or leave either way..

not really. i have been tryin' to locate someone to cut the windshield. ( the one in the picture is broken ) not real easy because of the curve. there is a shop about 5 hours from me that will do it but it is gonna cost a grand to get it done and that is not includin' the price of the windshield. i have the money set aside. now i just need to make the arrangements. kinda been dragin' my feet hopin' somethin' will come up closer and cheaper.
