Looking snazzy so far, don't forget to ventilate the area. So... Doug or Chappy? |

Uhhhh... you guys lost me... I got more done... the lower bar is going to have to be re-done, it's to short in the front.  Also, the rear-most cross-bar is going to have to move. The rear shocks will be mounted in-board of the chassis and that bar is in the way. I'm working out a deal to trade my WK axles for Axials. The WK's are just too wide. So the shock mount and link-mount positioning will have to wait until I get them. (IF I get them) Still a LOT of work to do... Sorry for the crummy pic, I took it with my office camera.  EDIT: I work with a paint-respirator mask on for this stuff, and I've been working on it outside. I've had galv poisoning before.... not fun. I know the respirator isn't right for that stuff, but it HAS to help SOME, is my reasoning. Last edited by JavelinSST390; 04-29-2008 at 11:02 AM. |

Looks like you're having fun. So is this going to be a rebuild of the Gremmie, or an additional truck? | |

ohhhh... *smacks forehead* DUH! This will be a second truck. The gremmie's never coming apart. I'm going to make sure it runs FOREVER!!!! The gremmie is cool and all but I am SICK of having to fight it through places. BTW, I have your gears, I even took them to Omaha for the GTG.... and then when you weren't there I forgot all about them. :-( I was gonna just leave 'em at Gerame's shop for you... but well, I started having fun.. and... Jesse brought in the CR-01 and we were all thrashin' trying to get it together. |

I figured you to be old enough to remember those flicks! Oh, don't braze any small/short pieces in completely if you have to braze another bar to it. They make a big pop when the explode from the pressure buildup, ended up costing me a new pair of undies. If you have to, drill a small hole in the tubing to vent the pressure. |

Oh, I remember them, but I wasn't really thinking of that when I came up with the name. It just came from the fact that I showed it to a friend of mine and he said it "looked like a giant eagle's head." And I learned about the whole popping thing last night. I never even thought of that 'till it happened. Then all of a sudden *BANG* I get hot molten metal flying at my face. I got out of the way in time, but it still sucked. I'm calling it pretty much done. Here's what I've got now:     If you guys have any suggestions or improvements I could make now is the time to tell me. I'm almost out of silv and MAPP.... and I'm out of play money for the week. (in fact, I went over just a bit this week )And suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |

You have a pretty good looking frame going there IMO. It has some sweet lines |
