Will do guys. Im off to bed. Sweet dreams ladies...lol

g'night

So Ive got a buddy that wants to come out and try photographing us flying, buggying, boarding, jumping and all that jazz. Next time we all get up Ill have him come out too that way we dont need to worry about putting a kite down to take pictures

Great! Today I came across what I believe will be a swan neck. And then I tripped over a set of siderails that have no bends in them. What luck!! Now if an axle would just fall out of a tree or somethin....

Damn what luck. We just had our aluminum tree cut down too. hahah Awesome Donny thanks alot man
Youre finding the pieces alot faster than you thought you would man

what a day!

getting bigger by the day!

another pic of the down tube.









I can't believe I get paid to do this!:D

Now that is lookin sexy :D

I didn't weld a thing for the co. today,but I did build a head tube, and a down tube then welded the head tube to the down tube. made upper and lower doublers that go on the fork plates to strengthen them . Welded them in place .took some pics. Then I went out to my truck and took the wheels off the buggy.Pulled all the bearings ( 7 out of ten were completely froze up.) That's why Sunday my wheels were squeekin like hell, they were just turning on axles.Imagine how fast I coulda been going with bearings that worked. Anyhow I soaked em in PB blaster penetrant oil . I finally got em turning again and packed axle grease in em. Put it all back together and bam it was time to go home.:D They are a little more noisy but better than just rollin on the ungreased axles
I need a beer .... and some 1 3/8" x 5/8" stainless bearings

You need to stop by my house one day on the way home man. You work in va. beach right? Swing by my crib and you can have some cold ones before you get to the HRBT

might have to take ya up on that sometime bro':singing:

Im right off Terminal Blvd. ro you can hop right back onto 64 once traffic has died down

Santa came early seats any body

Good score Nick, that looks like 2 inch too. Less sewing, man I hate sewing( cause I suck at it ). are you gonna basket weave it like mine?

actually its only 1 inch. It's mil-spec flat webbing 1400 lb test if I read the tag right. Thinner then the rescue grade I'm use to

I feel like a dumb ass cause you guys are getting all this stuff and sharing it and I cain get my hands on anything good for us except some paint for the buggy's or somthing

That's what friends are for

" I get high, with a little help from my friends" ain't just words in a Beatles song, they are words to live by. And as mean as I can, and have been,I need to do all I can to get some more of that good wind karma

I got a project for you if you feel like banking some more karma points...then we'll both be able to reap the wind.

shoot Clint!

I wasn't complainin, I meant hit me with what you need and I'll get on it.

I want something like this http://www.biketrailershop.com/catalog/images/bob_trailer_ya...

except I want to use a rolleze beach wheel instead the bicycle tire so I can tote all my crap out past the rock pile without having to hump it on my back. Not only that, and this is the biggy, I'd really like to be involved in the build and learn a thing or two. It'd be really awesome if I could talk you into coming to my shop one day after work...we've got a welder there and plenty of pipe...of course most of it's black or stainless shed. 40. I might be able to talk the boss into ordering a stick of stainless tubing. That way it would resist corrosion and it wouldn't be so damn heavy.

Anyway, if you're up for it I can guarantee there would be a case of your favorite beer in your future. That, and you wouldn't have to fight the tunnel traffic, so really I'd be doing you a favor.

Clint

bye the way, don't hesitate to say HELLLLL NO SUCKA!!!! I know it's a lot to ask.

If you can gather the materials needed , I can be your welder and you can be my assistant.

I'll start getting things together. What do you think I should get? Do you think the stainless tubing would do? If so what size? 1/2" or 5/8" maybe? Would .035 wall thickness be too thin? I'm thinking with gussets in the right places it'd probably work. One thing I'm not sure we have at the shop is stainless flat bar for the ends. Do you have any in your scrap pile?

Clint

I will look around bro'

Why stainless? are you planning on gettin it in the water?

I just figured it could be thinner, thus lighter than black pipe, if it were stainless. What metal were you thinking?

Black pipe would be easier for me to get...hell we've got plenty at the shop.

We got black iron shed. 40 but I dont know if you would want to use that or not.
