That is cool that you are gonna put some of your heritage into it though. Ill get you a pic of a Rat Rod in our county. Looks alright, and has a surf board on top of it. The open engine bay type. Youd like it.

PS>Make sure you put some russian into it then! I hear Russian women have short tempers! lol

The original SOHC, non Magnum engine from the '02 is sitting in the garage. Its got 52K of highway miles on it, and only ever had Mobil 1 in it. Am I living the Highlife..err...saving the SOHC?

My step-Dad was Russian. His dad came over on the boat, and his mother was born here, raised in a Russian community. For all practical purposes he was 1st generation. He would curse at me in Russian when he was drunk/pissed off. He cursed at me in Russian a lot, lol. Check with your mom, my last name, Zelanin, is supposed to mean greengrocer or something. I believe the Russian pronunciation is Zhe-lan-yin.

As far as some Russian heritage, how about a Stolichnya logo shifter, the little nesting dolls, or Pisanki eggs incorporated somehow. The old Imperial Russian crest in wrought iron would be very cool too.
