Thanks for updating everyone Tom. As mentioned in our conversation that was quoted, my free time has diminished over the years. If everything had rolled as smoothly as I had hoped, I'm sure we would have all been sitting on nice seats. Unfortunately, it's a full time job to chase down all the odds a...

Thank's again to Tom who has be incredibly helpful in this entire project with providing measurements when needed.

They normally do large volume work. I was told UPS had an order with them that was holding us up. Anyway, they...

Ok, finally recieved a proof from the steel shop that's cutting the butt plate. I've finalized the order with them and should hopefully get these things in in the next few weeks. After that, all the components will be in place and I can crank out the first one. I already have two final fiberglass se...
