Thank you sir! I'll probably cruise the brown beast out to Elmo next month so if anyone sees me yell, I'd love to meet you! Here's the beast...

Finished tacking in the upper shock mounts on the rear suspension.
Getting closer to being a roller!

Awesome work.
Do you have any drawings/renderings of what she'll look like when finished?.
I'd really love to see that.

The bottom of page 4 is the only thing I've sketched the shows my idea. The painting part will be lots of fun 'cuz that's what I do!

I don't know how I missed that sketch.
It looks great and my reason for asking was because you paint etc.
It's going to look great for sure.
I also do a little painting but not on that scale.
Thanks Brad.

Not sure yet how I'll do the name lettering style. The version in the drawing was a quick computer deal and not quite the style I wanted. Thank you! Today was a good day as I got my bearing carriers this morning from my friend Mike Harper (of Romic Shocks) after he whittled them out of some 7075!
They came out AWESOME and the bearings fit perfectly! I slid them in place and stuck some bolts in see how they fit
I then slid the axle (not cut to length yet) to see how it fit
I'm diggin' the feel!!

My friend Big Mike (Loyd) is now coming in to finish welding all my tacks, other Mike (Harper) is doing the rear hubs and it will soon be a roller! Was talking to my composite guys last week about the next step with the body. I'm getting excited!

Looking great! Does Romic still play with mountainbike shocks? They did years ago but am curious now.

Not so much with the mountain bike stuff now, once everyone started importing them! Thank goodness there's LOTS of parts for us to play with!

Was a little weird taking the whole chassis apart today. Mike is coming over Monday to finish weld all the suspension mounts and various brackets. It's a stripped naked bare chassis again which looks a little weird. Hey it's almost a roller!
