Our son has been beaming his go cart. Super proud dad moment. He has been using old part laying around the shop. He had had little.guidance frome.me and figuring out most of it on his own. He is a quick learner!

3d scanning seems to be a common practice now of days. It has always been something that I have been interested in and would like to get into. The days of reverse engineering seems to be a thing of the past with modern technology. I will be building two similar truck in the near future and...

I prefer fuzion 360 for sold modeling but, hate it for sheet metal. I really like SW for sheetmetal assembly. I feel fuzion is unrestricted and easy to manipulate a solid model where solidworks is not. That being said it can easily screw you in sheet metal design from what I have found. I need...

Had to make some radius dies for a paneling project. The radius die I had was to tight. Stoked to be able to make this stuff in house.

I need to be more diligent about keeping my threads updated. we just did a run of 3rd break light for @cutlessdesigns. It is always a pleasure to work with Marcel. He definitely has a knack for product design. Lots of little projects lately and have been trying to get my plasma table going...

As you can see above we got the +4 boost pulley and went back on the dyno to let the bald eagles fly. New blet the whole 9 yards. To our surprise and disappointment we mad 1/2 pound boost more and 10 HP.🤣 we believe when I stripped the rotors it greatly reduced the efficiency of the blower. I...

From all the abuse the steering have seen over the years it was time to give it some love. The chassis side where the swingers mount were slightly wore out so I decided to go up in size. Had to get creative and use and extension to drill them out and come back in with a reamer. The heims have...

Really lacking keeping this up to date. Lots has been going on and trying to keep my head on straight. I will post a recap for the BAP. We decided to machine a centerlink with uniballs. The old one had bronze bushings and I had to replace them ever 500 miles or so. So far the steering seems...

I know. Lol I blame the new stickers 🤣

You should be fine if you scuffed it. They make a white or gray scotch Brite that we used to use after locking the prime with a detergent to get all the grease/ oils off the panels before paining. Probably work good for base that is cured to clear. For anyone that is curious. I was told that...

All the doors need to be replaced. I think we can save the one piece but havend decided yet what we are going to do because both mini fenders are gone. Might change cabs! I am pretty sure the cage is fine but want to go up to 2 inch so we can race the mint 400.

I used to do body work for a living and finally got out of it. I hate all aspects of body work and paing prep. That is probably why the race truck looks the way it does. Lol Wife's truck always looked mint. Make sure to use a good sealer and a good clear. When I was in the game you were lucky if...

Just come over and I will show you how much it sucks to do.🤣

BAP didn't go as planned. Either chose a bad line or I ran out of talent. Either way we had a good time. We were all OK, flipped her over and finished the race.

Prep is in full effect for BAP. Our buddy Mayday (AKA Ryan) came over tore the front end down and we found some cracks. The center link between the swingers finally gave up the goose after 10+ years. I have been watching to upgrade this to a spherical bearing to allow better free movement. Glad...
