[Skimmy]

wow, looking great matt!!
i love the white instead of black.
i can see the sequence pump powering those injectors now...

Thanks man! good complements from you are gladly accepted!!!

and are you still doin a batch of cone's too???

I will, but still workin on getting a prototype, the cones are gonna be tuff to build at a reasonable price. of course i will use cell cast acrylic which doesnt help the cost any...

look for something on the cones sometime soon!

as for now I cant wait to get this bad boy broke in, its gonna JAM!!!

Oh this work is seamless.
All the joints are perfect and It looks "better" than what you buy at a store.
I pawed all over them and they are nice..
