Got the fuel filler tube on. Waiting on paint masks so I can get the lettering on the cell.

Looks awesome man, I will have the paint mask done tonight. Can't wait to see what this thing looks like when it is done.

Some new goodies showed up today. And these bead lock rings are the coolest part I've ever gotten.

So put that shit together already. I really wish I would have ordered a set of those rings for myself as well. Looks like I'm gonna have to place a bother order soon now. Let me k ow if you need any more rings and when I make an order I'll take care of you bro.

Geez! Pushy!
It's starting to go back together. I think I'm gonna run the aluminum rear panel. Waiting on the new tires and wheels to show up. Got to get caught up on work load first though.

Those rings really set it off. It's coming together nicely.

Good looking rig right there Clay. Awesome fab work. Is this the tube chassis you had at Eddie's? I was eyeing that thing pretty good.

Thanks Shane. Yup that's the one. You need to ask Eddie for a pic of Gavin's rebuild. We have been working on plans for another G6 and comp, ready to hang out again.

Watch out for Shane, he had an eye out for this rig big-time at the bbq.


Nice work by the way, I love the stance. The tires and wheel combo looks great on this rig.

Eddie was trying to send me some pictures but my blackberry wasn't having it. I am sure i'll see it soon. Probably with an upgrade look.

Rig looks great, Just curious if the chassis meets the minimum size requirements for competition? It looks light too, got a weight for it?

Thanks rckjeep. Don't know what the specs are for legality. Shoot em over to me and I'll measure. The rig is very light, most people are shocked when they pick it up. My batteries are dead in my scale and i keep forgetting to pull them out and get new ones, but now I'm reminded. Hopefully get this thing finished up soon, I'm ready to play.
