Here's my truck! Right now is has been sitting a while. It is a Unibody, check how there is no seam behind the door for the bed, it is a one piece body.

Daniel,
When you get a chance I would appreciate it if you could email me or upload a pic of that ti necker and we can get the ball rolling on that one.
And also how much a mini poon would run me, as well as any additional info on one of those as well.
I keep using the excuse that all these awesome blades I've been buying would be a great addition to my gear for my next deployment. But at the rate I'm going I wont have room for them all!
 
My other money pit, the Magnum.

Oh yea, she weighs in at almost 4400 pounds with me in it, and ran 11.9 in the quarter. My tuner feels there is a bit more to be wrung out with some tweaks to the tune. Hoping to break 11.5, then I'll stop there (need a 10-point cage to pass tech if you run faster than that).
 
Whooooahhh! 11.9 is smoking fast! That doesn't play!

I had that car on a video game once!

Really cool, that looks great, thanks for sharing the pics.
 
Xander, have a bloody mary! Sorry bro!

I'm up and well, here... I am still sick, I am sick of being sick! It has been a week now, this time of year they cut hay and the woods around me molds up more because of sporadic showers... this sinus stuff sucks and I guess it is why I'm still sick. My wife has it now too, man I hope we are over this soon. I am bored! No beer for a week now too, that couldn't be good!

I have had time to ponder what I will do to expand my shop, that will be cool.
 
Hope you both are feeling better.

And,based on your last sentence,you're pulling a positive out of your downtime!

Thanks Gnarly, I really appreciate that.

I keep coming up with knife ideas also, it is tough coming up with this stuff and not grinding. I went and looked at the KMG yesterday lol, almost turned it on but not when I'm dizzy... too sketchy.

I have made a few batches of scale material this week, at least epoxy work is safe for the most part. Lol I managed to glue about 4 sets of clamps shut, maybe I shouldn't be doing that either! I have ran through $100 of epoxy and $10O of glow dust... the double glow (glow resin and medium) came out just nuts, lol you can seriously use it as a flashlight! I took the block I made and it lit up my whole bathroom in the dark! I also have some non glow scales, black burlap with copper colored resin is one of them that came out really cool.
 
what if you take the reflective and glowy paracord scraps and put that into your scales? that would work, right? you could slice the empty paracord wraps open and lay them flat? might be a bit tedious, but you wouldn't have to spend so much on glow dust.

Yeah that would rock! I just got some red with glow and red/reflective cord in, that would be insane!

I have some glow tracer, reflective tracer, and white glow cord in the paracord chunk, it is squished so hard there is a lot of layers. No glow dust though, I think the cord will turn out pretty subtle on that block I made so I left the glow out... too experimental, lol they were just scraps. I'm saving all the neon scraps seperate, that stuff will be wild!

The main reason I use the dust is that it is the brightest glow product available... most commercial gid stuff made uses this powder, lol I even use aero/marine grade epoxy, the very best... always overkill here! :D

They make a solid glow cord in different colors with no core, I bet it would be killer, it is made for tying flies actually.

The double glow is an all glow yarn with the glow dust, I have seriously never seen anything like it.

I have to try that idea Gooeytek, too cool! :D
 
I have a container full of glowy green BBs. I'll send you a bunch so you can experiment with it.
 
yea, we held up pretty well, just a lot of leaves and twigs strewn all over the place. A neighbor down the street wasn't so lucky. Hi snew orange mustang got flattened by a huge tree. Huge, as in you wouldn't be able to cut it down with a normal chainsaw. Never expected that tree to fall. I'll grab a pic later if I can.

Scary stuff man! We had a big pine blow down recently, it was serious stuff, blocked the road off for a day.
 
I'm feeling a bit better, it keeps raining sporadically here and the air is clean, I'm not so dizzy! I still have something but no dizzyness really rocks! I spent my morning making a sheath and hope to start getting more caught up soon. :D
 
Daniel, hope you're back at 100% soon. Might need to let the Doc look at you if you're not better in another day or 2.
