Re: PO has me PO'd

Thanks Tim...just got the samples in the mail from SMS, exact match on the embossing, about 50 bucks a yard was the quote for the material. Don't know if they charge more for the embossing

Anyway, headed up into the mountains for the youngest sons bachelor party(wedding next week) He wants, guns, clay pigeons, fishing, 4WD's, ATV's, and Dirt bikes for his party. Looks like I raised another one right Looks like I'll be the Safety Manager, since there will be beer there. I'll get a chance to drink my whiskey after the shooting stops!!!

Thanks Doug, Well sorta safe...One of my sons friends, ex dirt bike rider in his mid 30's, flipped my other sons dirt bike on himself so we told him to ride the quad and he proceeded to flip that on himself

My batteries went dead in my camera so I have to wait until the other guy gives me a link

Unbelievable guy weekend and we decided to make it a yearly event, so anyone in the area is invited next year!

Minor hi-jack Jim but it's my turn anyway...

So Mike, when is it?

I really do have a lot of stuff I could bring down, my trailer would be full.

You offering me a bunk in the RV?

Re: PO has me PO'd

hijack...


7-9 Aug

www.carsatcarlisle.com Special-K (Tim Hicks) has three spots near the truck shop (california) and usually has a cot in his area. IF I bring the RV then you are more than welcome to crash. I will probably only be there on Friday and Sat (fri night) since I live 45 minutes away and sunday is kinda dead.

Got pics?,I think I know the area you're referring to. Should I go to your build? Are your doors matching up nice. That's my indicater...maybe take out the rubber mounts temporarily to get it welded up

Re: PO has me PO'd

a blast, except that mikey took a header on his second ride the next morning. Funny how a yellow slide can stop a suzuki and send a three year old flying over the handle bars!

They had it out again today, I got a killer deal, probably half price or better. Here are some pics...

Re: PO has me PO'd

i had taken some pics to send to you but you cant see the difference in between. further investigation i found 1 spot that will need to be cut down. it is keeping the driverside up, i probably never would have found it, if you did not mention looking! passanger side i will just need some muscle to get it whipped into shape! thanks again
