Nice looking temple but it's kind of a shame for so much work to go into something that ends up being ethereal.

Re: Polar Bear 1
One quick question. I read an article where attendees were complaining of a, in their opinion, overwhelming police presence. Your thoughts? (when you get a chance)

Re: Polar Bear 1
In order of importance.
1.) Have fun.
2.) Take a bunch of pictures for those of us who are unable to attend.
3.) Repeat 1. and 2. :tomato:

That's pretty nifty. I assume one fan sucks and one blows? It just needs one thing. A big honking electric actuator. :a1:

Since you're looking for opinions, here's mine. Finish up any loose ends but don't do any more work major work on the van. The van's too old for you recoup the additional monies you're planning to...

Hey Big "Z",
I was planning to do something similar, heat metal than bend, but have never tried it before. You answered one question already (you can do it with just a propane torch).
Do you have...

Re: Polar Bear 1
One thing that always trips me up is time estimates. Mine always turn out to be wildly optimistic. It can get discouraging.
