Ohhh, sweet jesus, it's finally here. I had to pick it up from Con-Way's delivery hub (very ghetto). The thing came out in two huge boxes on a fork lift!! Me, my gf, and a buddy had to take everything out and fit it in my poor Mustang. That darn thing is heavy.







That last pic...are those the wimpy spring clamps that everyone says to replace with screw clamps? If so, what size are they again (I know I've asked that like 5 times already...3 inches?)

Thanks! Btw, install is scheduled for the 18th! I don't think I can wait...[img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img]

 

SSSaaaaaaawweeeeeeeeeeeettt!!!!!!!!!

 

Yes Nick, they are a work of art!! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/04.gif[/img] It's a 126 Ibs packed in the box... [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/eek.gif[/img] I about blew parts out of myself lugging it into the house.

Yes, those are the spring clamp's you want to ditch...Replace them all with the apropriate size stainless steel, American made (important because the ones from china/mexico stink!), worm gear clamp's. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img]

126lbs! That has to be a typo!

 

You better get that on your car before I fly down to tx and steal it from you! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrinjester.gif[/img]

 

Congrats again man. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img]
Don't worry, my hernia will heal some day. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen.gif[/img]
Next weekend should be alot of fun.

 

Awesome dude! Would it be possible for me to come see you do the install? I've been watching the threads, but I think I missed the when (and where).

 

[img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/drool.gif[/img] Now, that's one beautiful chunk of metal. I want one too! Darn those kids and their blasted college tuition fund! Hey the Marines were good enough for me...Hmmn...

BTW, your GF rocks too, if that's her picture on the shelf! God Bless Texas. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img]

Christopher

very nice, who is going to do the install?

 

I'm surprised no one has asked if his sister lives in Austin as well.

That looks great Christopher! See if you can take some pictures during the install; at the very least take some of before and after.

I can't see what numbers you put out with that. Lucky you to be in Austin...

I miss San Antonio every now and then; Austin would be far worse to leave. However, there are no bases there for me.

When is the install going to happen? Can't wait to see the finished product.

Speaking of Austin - My wife and I just returned from making selections on the house we are building off Southwest Pkwy. Can't wait to move. It was 75 when we were there last week, while we had a nearly a foot of snow back here in Northern Virginia. Now if I can just find a job there, everything will be cool.
