    More times than enough you look down at the t-case/actuator and that damn vacuum line is just dangling there..

    Well, the "valcum" line seems more like a breather now! Lol added water to it and sealed it back. Turned it ever which way and no water came out. Beside out of the "valcume"line

    Picked up my bed rack from DerpWerx (didn't get a sticker). Drove it straight over to Southern Product Finishing to get powder coated ($150). Should have it back within the week.

    I talked to the guys at Southern and he said they would cut us a significant discount if we did a group buy for powder coating. So if there's a few of you wanting to get something sprayed, get together and do it as one order.

    Maybe as your business picks up you should think about investing in them. Advertising is absolutely key to any successful business.

    BTW everyone... Kase did a helluva job. Absolutely perfect!:yay::thumbsup:

    Yeah, Jared over there quoted me an outstanding price to get a front and rear bumper powdered at the same time, when I have them made... Very, very good prices. Hope their work is good. Were you happy with what they did for you?

    I would also have some business cards made up. I would hand some out to people I know.

    Wasn't there some DerpWerx stickers on this forum just a month or so ago? I thought that design was really cool.

    Not planning on doing a race motor and making it competitive. As time goes on and i want more power or better gears then ill upgrade as needed. Just like any other hobby. Start small and go bigger.
    Will most likely be cheaper or roughly the same cost as my current hobby in the long run. I sold about 15 guns when we decided to move into the house so that we could buy funiture. I hadnt shot them in years so i just kept the ones i really really liked and sold the rest. At one point i owned 2 barrets because my buddies wife made him sell his. I sold both because 5 bucks a shot was costing me too much damn money lol.
    Im almost 30, ive had my fun so i think this will be a nice relaxing hobby. Im pretty sure that once its a drivable budget build ill quickly want to start upgrading everything.

    This is pretty much all i need
    If i buy this
    http://www.hendrixmotorsports.com/id4.html

    And attach it to something that already runs like this
    http://houston.craigslist.org/cto/4122458243.html

    Then ill be good to go until things start breaking lol

    No issues with my bumper. I told them I'd bring my rear bumper when I'm ready to get it recoated, The line-x style coating on it now is fubar.
