you might want to include a price

It got buried in the other thread so I'm posting it up to be easier to find. From Don's daughter:

awesome work! I'll add it to the master list.

our hearts go out to your family. this place will never be the same. at least he and Jim can trade stories now.

it's been a while, but I'm pretty sure I remember reading that you can make your own "high alt CPS" by notching the CPS holes to pushing it over for some advance in the timing.

looks like it was a fun build

looking forward to it

started mocking up the center skid plate. it quickly became clear that this needed to be removable so I tacked some brackets in to make this a bolt-on affair. then I moved on to the wings, shaping them from some 3x3 angle iron.

score!

those things too. it was... relatively dry for the area, but this is still georgia. and the house is down in the valley.

it's alive!!!

I'm convinced my pics aren't quite in focus. the image really should be crisper for a couple grand worth of Canon. but it was late, the temp was in the teens, and I had literally taped the camera to a kid's pretend telescope (the only tripod-like thing I could find) and running a 10 second delay in an attempt to mitigate the shakes (both the wobbly tripod and my freezing hands). I took a lot of pics and one kinda turned out. sigh. it is what it is. maybe I'll try again tonight with a little more planning just to compare.

GA. down here we're a bit out in the country, about 20 minutes or so from the nearest town

yeah, we really lucked out that the storms passed by already. rumor has it that my nephew (8) was going to wake up for this and view it through his new telescope. I'll see if they snapped any pictures with it tomorrow.

best I could do with a 300mm lens and a makeshift tripod. I really need to replace my old tripod.

lunar eclipse tonight if anyone is up and has clear skies. just starting!

indeed that's a lot for a seat with no headrests.

is it a failure of the gasket? bolt backing out?

that is... creative. I kinda like it!

don't look at me. I name my trucks by color.

It's possible that Barrett might bring in that 5th figure. we've seen a couple MJs sold there that were $4k trucks sitting on a cheap lift and stock axles go for 10k.

oh, that's not the white one. I was thinking of the one in california. by all means, start yourself a build thread and show us what ya got.

there are a few different threads in the link in my sig.

probably just rust
