Now I'm tuning in out of simple morbid curiosity!
Don't wait for opportunity to knock... kick the door down and drag the old harlot in!

Ha Ha yes Space Shuttle indeed !...That's Sort of where Part of this Idea Came From....After looking at 1959 Cadillac Tail lights for a year, I wanted to Put half a rear end of one on a bike ....Just because, not because it would look cool but because i'd never seen anything like it .... Then after more research i found out the whole space race was why there were even fins on cars in the first place ....( i also found out people would prob murder me for butchering an old caddy).....

What did I just stumble into.  Now I'm curious but did I miss why you were doing this?  Just a fun project?
I'm determined to enjoy this xj!

it just came to me like a lightning bolt...same way Indian Larry came up with the Chain Frame...It will not only be a fun Project, But the fins are like razor death spikes which is kinda cool, also keeps the cages from tail gating

So some sort of a Deathrace 2000 setup.  At any point you can decide to go on a homicidal, blender-esque killing spree.  I really like it now.

When you finish this you should definitely get some pics taken next to an old caddy!
