    Thanks for your service. Wish we had more citizens like you. You did a good deed when you challenged a thief and showed restraint when you didn't kill a fleeing thief. Well done!!!

    Youre welcome.. The guy was just doing what he could with what he knew. 2 weeks later I saw him in the neighborhood someone had thrown gas is his face and set him on fire, bad mess but he was very humble. A human lifes worth is placed on it by God, I am not God. With that thought in mind every life sacrificed in war has built up a responsibility for us to cherish what we have been given, our lives which contain the ones we love. I would give anything for them. Even my own for a Junkies 2nd chance. Who would have thought.:)

    :yahoo:Check it out:bananaman I welded the brackets on the Body Dolly and let the body down onto it. This thing rolls smooth with minimum effort. dscf0157_original.jpg dscf0153_original.jpg dscf0154_original.jpg dscf0156_original.jpg Before the body goes to paint ill glue rubber pads inside the brackets so I dont screw it up.

    170.00 in materials. Now im gonna start on the rottiserie.

    I've done some further tuning on my Holley and I'm going back to the dyno on Saturday April 7th. If your table is still there I'll try to remember to pick it up.

    Thanks Bro. The wheels are swivel casters from Harbor Junk, I think theyre rated at 450 lbs a piece. They were on sale 16.00 a piece. The square tubes are 1/8" x 1 3/4". I needed to get the body rolling so I can pour a slab for a Paint booth im gonna build.

    Resto Why are you working in a sand box anyways? Is Yuma just all sandy like that from the sand dunes or have you just been sandblasting so much that its covered the yard?
