I guess buying a bunch of plastic from the waterjet guys over the years got me some favors. All pieces are done today but for the midboard plates since material is not here. He said he'd get them done same day as soon as I get the plate to him. I MIGHT just pull this off. All depends on freight lines now.

Can't believe the plates bent so easy since there made from unobtanium.  That stuff is near impossible to bend.


If anyone can do it you can.  Should we do a rain dance to slow work. Although lately rain has improved my business. Slow on sunny days. Wtf.

Master Master Master Go Go Go.  You can do it.  I'm helping Dave with is rear carrier.  I think we mite make it.  Got all the bent stuff cut off today and cleaned it up some.  Ready to make the template to plasma cut the new shock mounts out.  King is getting every thing for his shock in for a Saturday delivery.  He is cleaning up and greasing his cv's tonight.  Will be tight but we think we can do it.

Got both front uprights about 90% welded tonite. Been welding since 5:30. Finally hands went to shit just now. Just had to stop. Lots of weld time in those effers. If tube had shown up today I'd have the front back together this weekend  but I'll just shift to the rear and go as far as I can. Probably fill a couple 12 hour days with that anyway.

Well, just got in from a 17 hour day in the shop but uprights are done,lower rear a arms are done,front a arm ferrules are made. Will make bungs for front arms ,replace an a arm mount on the rear and fab rear lower shock mounts tomorrow. If only the tube was here I'd likely have new front arms tomorrow but that ain't gonna happen.

If you do not get it together and can't make the trip, we are going to have fun without you!!


 I am checking the tranny fluid today in mine and I will be ready. I looked at the 10 day forcast on weather and this year it doesn't look like snow. (89 degrees)

Well David ain't a happy camper.  Ordered up his new shock shaft and stuff Friday.  Had it sent overnight next day Saturday delivery $148.00 ups.  Opened up the box and he had ordered the wrong shaft size.  kick.  Going to have to do it again Monday for a Tuesday delivery.  His welder got the new bearing carrier all welded up last night and his forword trailing arm mounts all redone yesterday. I think he can still pull it off. I'll be back over there next week helping.  Mine is allready to load in the trailer. Need to check the air in the trailer spare and pump the 50 gal of VP110 into the trailers buggy tank.  OH and get my new flags put on the the light sabers.

Glad you are done.  I feel for you on the trashing part.  I had to order a new air filter for the meet up at Coral Pink.  Phew!  I am exhausted.

Drive safe. 

See you Friday.
