Well you certainly saved that.
I hope the owner carries on with it.
Chopped tops is one of my favourite body mods.

Sure wish you'd get that new phone so we could see an update............. ::)
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

Speaking of buying a new phone, I had to purchase a new phone today. I use mine for work and receive emails on it. It was a Apple I phone  4  thanks to AT&T upgrade to their service I could receive my emails and I could not down load the upgrade or my phone would crash. I think they just figured out a way to make people with older phones upgrade to a newer phone >:(

Thanks Jeff, I hope he finishes this one also.

Chopper, a new phone isn't in the cards right now.  They want $250 deductable on the insurance to fix. Buddy got me an external batt charger, but it takes three hrs to get 11% charge, that's 6mins of internet time >:( >:(. Here is a pic of the right side, not much different from the left. ;D  Sorry for the shakey pic, best out of ten today. I got the shakes today.
   
62131, them cell phone plans are saddly just set up like that.  Every month my phone insists on an updated upload. I unplug the batt and it goes away, I fell for it once and ended up just as you said and had to upgrade to a new phone and contract. Crooks!! >:(

Damn Sammons that looks awesome!  You truly have talent to take something someone butchered and turn it into a bitchin' ride!

Speaking of phones a couple weeks ago I bought two of these Tracfones:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Alcatel-Sonic-LTE-4-6-Android-Smartphone-with-Triple-Minutes-Tracfone-New-/131638176035?hash=item1ea63f2923:g:KqIAAOSw~bFWLoNA

They were only $15 each then, transferred my AT&T number and paid $20 for triple minutes 180 data, 180 texts and 180 data card. The plans work for me and it's my first smart phone. 

Then I downloaded the talkatone app via  http://www.talkatone.com/ They give me another number to use, so if I have WIFI I can send and receive phones calls with no charge to my tracfone.

That is some incredible work in such a short period of time! Amazing!
