noonzor · 02-14-2010, 01:06 PM

noonzor · 02-19-2010, 09:47 PM

finally got the ballistic joints in, they are even more beefy than i thought! haha

anyways, im headed off to vancouver sunday for the games. ill be back in march to finish off the arms.

tubbedII · 03-11-2010, 03:22 PM

Looks like you had a couple as well!

djracer · 03-11-2010, 03:27 PM

Some of that must be Canada specific because I don't recognize the cans.

noonzor · 03-12-2010, 07:29 PM

haha, lots of beer drinkin occurs in that garage. good way to reward yourself after finishing something up. blue cans are kokanee, white/red ones are budwieser, also lots of mgd bottles mixed in there too. prolly a few empty bottles of whisky in there too.... haha

noonzor · 03-17-2010, 06:29 AM

some progress, got the c-notches cut and installed. got the stuff i need to finish the trailing arms off to the machine shop should be ready thursday. hoping to mock everything up just with the 12bolt for a peek on how its gonna look.

djracer · 03-17-2010, 08:17 AM

I like the bolt in C notches. Did you make those or buy them?

noonzor · 03-17-2010, 01:00 PM

bought, cpp. pretty happy with them. they were really easy to install. just took a while trimmin to make em fit just right.

nuke1 · 03-17-2010, 02:29 PM

Looking good! can not wait to see more progress

noonzor · 03-23-2010, 12:47 AM

so im not too effin happy, took my ballistic joints in cuz they sat too wide for my pb trailing arm crossmember (note to those looking to do this if you have the pb crossmember its just barely too wide). also asked them if they had the DOM tube to be threaded to accept the joint, said they did, i asked them to call me with a quote before working on it and they said no problem.
soo....they neglected to call with the quote i asked for. And today, after getting the call that everything was done, i went to pick them up they showed me my $630 bill for cost of material and 5hrs of total machine time........ because rather then using the dom i asked for they machined blocks of steel into thicker wall tube saying that its better and stronger...... so after 20minutes of exchanging persuasive curse-filled conversation with the guy i put $50 on the table and told them to go eff themselves and walked out with just my machined joints.

dont get me wrong the pieces they made were very nice and looked awesome, but i didnt need 1" wall tube......

nuke1 · 03-23-2010, 01:32 AM

HOLY SHEET BATMAN< 630 really, I paid 50 dollars to get mine made up, wow!!!!!!! that is highway robbery. Let me see if I can do something for you, sound good!

noonzor · 03-23-2010, 02:09 AM

duuude, thatd be sweet. i would really appreciate that. ive sat on the phone dialing numbers and yet to find a place that either has the DOM, or wont make me buy a 20ft section of it.

djracer · 03-23-2010, 07:12 AM

Have you tried a race car chassis shop? They use tons of DOM.

noonzor · 03-23-2010, 09:49 AM

........pffft no.... cuz thatd obviously be to obvious for me..... haha, for some reason that one did not occur to me haha, ill make that call today.

colinlx · 03-23-2010, 10:42 AM

awesome project...your makin wicked progress! I was thinking of going shortbox too. I'll look for ya at one of the shows here in AB, might have to pick your brain!
