Go directly to jail. Do not pass goat. Do not collect $200.

I've no experience, but I've been warned against welding aluminized steel. Either grind off the coating or wear a gas mask 
My vote is for a goat jail. With 59 Cadillac taillights in 39 Chevy bullet housings. Three to a side. |

I laughed twice when I read "goat jail".
Once, for general creativity.
Twice, because when I made the Firefly's first boat tail (the cardboard proof of concept), for a brief time it was a "raccoon jail". Seriously, one chewed its way inside and set up camp. OK, OK, more of a nest than a jail. Similar visuals though!
Now that I think of it, I know Phil had problems with an actual goat destroying one of the aero toppers on his truck.
Life something something art. |

I for one am looking forward to the concept sketches.
Turnpike cruiser bubble skirts?

For some reason, I still have the goat jail from the Prius. It's wood, cardboard & shrink wrap. Does that count as an upgrade?
I will look at whether it can be easily altered to fit the Firefly before I get around to making a more durable one. But based on the stuff on my to-do list, I probably won't be making a proper one before winter. |
