A while ago, my Friend Neil and I wrote and recorded a song called
“Double Axle Badass.” I found the file, so here it is. Keep in mind,
the whole thing was created using nothing but an old mac, the free
Audacity sound editor, a microphone, and a Gibson SG guitar. So the
production quality sucks. Sounds better in headphones. Here are the
lyrics:

It’s really heavy
lots more like it
doubly evil
cuz of how I drive it

Five motherfuckers
on my ass
won’t let em by
I’m a double-axle badass

Underpowered Honda
tries to make a pass
Run em off the road
I’m a double-axle badass

Double Axle
Special license
Just to drive it

Sense of manhood
from its mass now
I derive it

Satellite TV
Air-conditioned luxury
Bitch-ass dirty hippies
Their dreams they don’t mean much to me

Takin’ the next exit
gonna get some gas
fifty-gallon tank now
I’m a double-axle badass

[monologue]

Silver lady mudflaps
Shiny cheap and crass
Gotta be a man now
I’m a double-axle badass

Back out on the highway
Lose this morass
A slave to the American dream
I’m a double-axle badass

And I don’t care if I drive slow
I roll at my own pace
I’m bigger than you
Slower and bigger
That’s just how it is
We will all suffer
We will all cope

I got the engine mount all brazed up. Very stiff, torsionally and
otherwise. Even without the front mounts in, the gearbox doesn’t move.

This is a close-up shot of the gearbox mounting tabs and associated
attachment tubes. It’s definitely a tricky bracket.

John practices his brazing in preparation for a frame-building
attempt. Note the functional fit of #3 brazing glasses.
