    Thats the one :D well not really, the one cam is doing now is his. Mine will be identical unless i ask to make some tweaks, but i probably won't. I think i will be more than happy with the design. Still contemplating some cutouts for some LED pods for over the top back up lights lol.

    Happy Turkey Day dude!

    Nothin really wrong with it, it just cant keep up with the torque or grab gears fast enough with the S/C and smaller pulley.

    Its all explained in my build, I wont clutter yours with it. Lol

    It's been a little while since I've gotten any real work done. With turkey day, and me forgetting that this was the last week of classes... which has been kicking my ass... I finally made it down to the shop today! Finished grinding the plug welds I had to make on the cut out pieces from a problem with the CNC last week... And so far everything fits, and lines up with the body panels. I'll be putting up more pictures throughout the night.

    :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

    I'll put some up in the next couple of weeks for you man! It's in the process of getting a heat patina to make it all pretty! :D

    I'm submitting it into an art magazine so I'll have some (hopefully) really nice photos of it on the 18th or 19th of this month. That's when the photographer is taking the pictures.
