thanks guys. the files are off to the water jet cutter today! Since I'm paying for the drops as well i decided to have them cut in a manner that i don't have to create a fixture to mill them. Once the mill operations are done I will cut off the excess with a band saw and then finish them.

Nice and clean!

Green won. Hopefully ill be able to prep everything and spray the test piece I have this weekend before committing fully

everything is ready to rock and test is sprayed. I was hoping it would be a little more green but i do like the color. I might go buy some of the green toners and add a bit. I also pressure tested the gas tank in my sink to check for leaks before committing to paint. Hopefully this Friday it will go down

I'm not much on green but that's purdy.

Paint came out pretty good. Photos don't do the metalics in this justic, it really pops in the sun. Unfortunately they sprung for the cheap filters on this spray booth and the fibers seem to find their way into the paint no matter how much I clean before hand, luckily when wetted by the clear they turn transparent so a little cut and buff and you will never know. I won't be able to get to striping this for a couple weeks.

Nice
Steve

I have a safety concern about your brackets. How are they going to react to the harmonics when the brakes are applied?

Those are just to get the spacing correct so he would know how thick to cut the bracket, thus wasting less metal.

My brother said i should paint those black and bolt em on! :lol: I had that design water-jet cut out of 3/4" thick 7075 sheet. Super tough stuff. I picked them up last week, I will get around to milling them pretty soon.
