Progress!

[MrShelley]

I was supposed to get this stuff a few months ago, but my wife and I have been involved in purchasing some land to build a house. Now that we've got that over with, I can use some of my money for "my" toys!

I finally ordered my bags, valves and air tank Tuesday from *****************. The UPS man dropped it off tonight (Thursday). Installation begins Monday since I have the week off for Thanksgiving.

Now that I have the valves "in hand" I can take the blueprints I've been working on to the machinist and have my valve manifold started. It'll kinda be like this but with 1/2" NPT connections and will mount my GC Extreme 1/2" valves. Should be pretty neato!

I can also finalize the template showing where to drill the mounting holes in the frame for the rear bags. I've had a couple people express interest in those. Sorry to ramble, I'm just excited to be DOING something!

Here's a couple pix...front A-arms and spindles mocked up to check fit, and a rear bag in place.
