Hey guys im glad you brought up the old thread. A lot has happen with this idea since I posted it. Still got lots of metal to work with but my buddies shop is closing due to the economic crisis. They didn't care if he and I used their equipment on the weekends while they were closed to goof around and make our stuff as long as we brought in the supplies and documented what we were doing.
So we only really got around to sand blasting headers for guys around us and making custom tailight moldings, oh and we made some case quards too. Nothing capable of selling online since we weren't ready to purchase any liability insurance but it was fun to make them for ourselves and some other riding buddies.
My buddie's factory is supposed to be having an auction and we hope to buy a few items mainly the sandblasting machine so that we can have items PC'd alot cheaper since we do all the prepwork, and or start PCing ourselves.
The ideas and drive are still there for us, we just hit some major road blocks as usual. So I encourage all of you to get creative with your DIY abilities and be safe in doing so. I will post back here if I ever have a finished product to share.
