Very cool, I like it a lot. Not a fan of the little bubbles in the middle of the top, they don't match the lines of the rest of it, but that's just personal preference. Overall it's very badass and makes me realize how slow I am at building shit(when I actually get a chance to work on it)

cory wasn't there when we built that.me and jake did the top bars,then i needed something to brace the center bar..i said lets do a loop in here..jake looked at me and said thats gay. but we did it anyway.it turned out good and i'm happy with it.
