    NM is getting a pro hockey club -- they did a "name the team" contest. The final three are: Cutthroats; Goatheads; and Tarantula Hawks...

    @Speedytech7 The three feet of chassis hanging out behind the body is a little upsetting, but I don't hate the idea.

    I’ve been seeing some old ford model A I think trucks around hidden in the weeds. Pretty sure I need one. If I did it right I could flathead v8 it and kill two things I really want at once!

    I just got a lithium battery for the truck; I pulled the beast out of the bed when I painted and decided I wanted to go lighter and mount underneath somewhere.

    It DOES have BT so you can connect to it and see what the charge looks like. Waiting on a few more bits to get here so will camp with the jackery this weekend. :p Gotta a lot of wiring to redo for the truck panel but won't be tooooooo bad.

    I've just been pricing out buying bits in bulkish, enough to build 10 units.

    at the price above I can get the build cost down to 3500, sell for 7000 to 7500, if company's buy anyway.

    I’ve only ever caught bits and pieces, if you are at liberty to say, what is your product?

    Solar air compressor to run pneumatic devices off instead of natural gas on off grid oil and gas wells.

    Hell ya, that’s fucking cool!

    At this point I have nothing to offer but encouragement. Feels like you might be on to something here!

    When you are ready to start looking at scaling, if you want another perspective on supply chain strategies I’d be happy to chat :cheers: Good luck man!
