These are wonderful videos giving insight to how you think about solving design and fabrication problems as well as the fabrication techniques themselves. Keep them coming!

Thanks Mark for the kind words. I was going to rest a bit today from the snow shoe marathon :LOL:
But,
I made another video for you guys.
Happy to answer any questions.

No need for tool envy. When I started I only had a drill press, a tool box, a vice, and a few tools. You can do anything you want in life. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Reach out and snatch your dreams out of the sky. Take them for your very own and turn them into reality.

Tomorrow we break out the saw. Measure twice (or three or four times) cut once.

Amen to that. We're doing a tilt front on ours and had to take a deep breath before we fired up the cutoff wheel.
Kirkham's making history, again.... I wonder how many variations of a cobra we can come up with? Just don't start doing themed corporate cobras.:LOL:
Great progress. Thanks again... Darren

If the guys at the Polish MIG factory see this pic, you will have a work strike on your hands. "We pound out these beautiful bodies for that Kirkham fella, and he takes a sawzall to them, the bastid!!!" :LOL:
Congratulations... Taking an aluminum body and cutting it to pieces takes guts!
Should we start apologizing to the purists?:CRY::LOL:

Hey fear is the thief of dreams. We couldn't see failure...we were to fixated on your dream. By the way, you don't need air struts. You can lift the nose with one finger...it's aluminum, not fiberglass. :D
The only problem...I think I want one now! :LOL:
