so my project is to shave off the wings with some carefull dremel work, give it some sexier lines.

so far just the one side done.

here is where im at now. All the grinding is done and its flattened nicely. i just have to get some fine grit paper and polish this thing along with some other parts.

Here it is on the marker. This setup is still waiting on the gforce frame, and some spit n polish.

through the magic of photoshop iv concluded that the only body that goes well with this rail is a dallara....but i dont have 300$ for a hunk of metal (work of art mind you, but still a hunk of metal :p)
