Re: EZ chassis swap info

I totally get it. I'm fairly fluent with autocad and sourced and setup a fatman cnc plasma table for my neighbors shop. Unfortunately it was long after I was finished with 95% of my fabrication. We do mostly exhaust on it, I added a 4th axis, rotary head for cutting H-pipe saddles.

I also design them to ship flat and fold easy, minimizing welding and it looks great and is impossible to screw up.

I havent seen anyone do C10/55.2-59 brackets yet besides ez chassis so if its something that has a market you will also get 10% refund on every part that sells until you make 200% the original development price, essentially I am paying you by the end. but the majority of one-off stuff I do only has sold 1-2 parts, which equates to about a 20% return.

something to think about. if I can help let me know.
Now that's a heck of deal!!!!

Yeah
The metal stores that my work place get quotes from are only good for24 hours
