Oldgregs tf2
 
Well finally got my tf2 together and out of the house for a test run. Seems to run great so far. I have been impressed with its performance. Still thinking about maybe bobbing the bed. Just scared ill ruin the bed trying to cut it. Anyways heres a few pics of some backyard crawling.

It's pretty straightforward. Figure out how much you want to remove, two straight cuts and then glue it back together. It's not super hard.

Did it with a coping saw. Was a pita, but it got the job done. Would prob try a different method if i were to try it again. Maybe a dremel.

It looks like a super clean cut. What was the problem with the coping saw? Dremels seem to melt as much as they cut.

Yea thats what i hear with the dremels too. It was just hard to make a good straight cut. But its definitely doable with the coping saw
