Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

awesome

the pic was in the paragon pic thread on pirate. so perhaps

Thats funny.... I just looked at that pic and my immediate thought was that it looked like M trail at PAP, but didn't think it was since it was a RHD van... The line behind and to the left of the van looks like the beginning of an obstacle called "Can Opener" on M.

Sam:
Killer van.

Chris:
Darn, now I'm gonna have to try some slow cooker chicken. The pork and chili was good, so I've got high hopes here too.

Ross:
$300 on steering arms? Holy cow.
What else did you get in that $700 package?

Anthony:
Nice work on reversing that to apply to 1/2 of the lazy non-GSD NAC crowd.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I bet Ross got those super fancy ones on Pirate. I forget what makes them so special. Maybe something about the kingpin preloading system.

Probably. I've got a long days work and some steel into mine. He has the fancy tools to do the same thing. :shrug: Oh well, I'm sure they are pretty.

No dig on you here so don't start in on me, but what are the plans for the 'new' shell?

Im not precise enough nor is my bridgeport nor are my skills to make arms. I am building my own knuckles though. I could always build/run my plywood high steer arms

Ross:

The arms themselves were only $260, which is less then say Ballistic's without the Ballistic hassle. They're shipping from Canada so the $40 shipping I didnt really think about. I got everything else I need to rebuild my 60 from ECGS, bearings/seals/KP's and a LockRight since you and Colin didnt like the Spartan.

Yep...

Yep someone beat me. Oh well. For what it's worth, I didn't ever plan on mass producing what I might come up with. Mine will still be different and quite a bit more homebrewed. No fancy intake manifold for this guy. I might end up copying what he did for electrical stuff though. That's my least favorite part, anyway.

Honestly, not sure. Not sure if I even want to get it. I've been thinking a lot about it lately. I know I could finish what I have now, and I kinda want to for several reasons, a few of them being that: it's a cool project, I don't like giving up on things, and I'd probably end up trashing the unibody of the new shell in a year or two anyway. So why not just go straight to the chuggy? (cherokee-buggy) ...There's also the fact that full bodied rigs are badass albeit slightly less durable. I don't know right now...

Seems like it'd be one of the easier things to do.

How precise does it really need to be? The hole patterns are no secret...
