The blue car is a car we built a Jotech 4 or 5 years ago. The guy sold it to Chuck and Chuck sold it to Kenny, who's building it for a customer. It originally belonged to "adrenaline junkie" on here, Curt Reimer. I think there are picks on Jotech's website of it back then.

Are they going to pull the rods out after you bone heal a bit? Do you get to keep them? Can always find a use for titanium.
