That is pretty tight. like the look. Keep up dated. What have you learned building your first tuber. I am building one soon so I would like to know. Thanks.

Thanks guys for the compliments... Thanks Pink, means alot coming from you since I think you make some cool tubers!
So far everything is straight and true... I know how hard it is to keep it true, but I made sure it was, mic'd every joint and holes so it should be pretty balanced. I will make the tranny plate and post updates later!
