the painting went fine, although I should have used a primer before painting cause it took a lot of paint to cover some of the darker areas where is was sanded down to the steel

Orange you glad you built it? OK OK I'm sorry I said that :D

depends on the local laws, and whether the cops have nothing better to do...
Flat ol Kansas?
You must live in the south or the west. KC area is super hilly. I like the orange.
