I'll add an events topic. Johnny and I don't see this site replacing MetalMeet or replacing the MetalMeet events.

Remember the Bugatti pedal car that I was working on at MM06? The one based on the Bugatti Build CAD that Gene Olsen scaled for me. Never got much done on it but have all the bucks...well I have all the stuff to build the rest of the bucks except for the rear fender and I'm sure I can get them from Gene Olsen or print the files at another print source. He had the CAD work done but his printer broke and I haven't asked lately if he ever got it fixed. If interested we could build the pedal car and auction it for charity...or scholarships to MM...or ??? Kind of like what we were planning with the full size unbuildable Bugatti :shock: I would think that is something that could be accomplished in an week by a few people.... It could also be made for a gas or electric powered kids car. Ultimately I want to build one of these for myself so I'll want the buck back. Just a thought. It's up in my attic gathering dust and wasp nests... _________________ Kerry Pinkerton http://wheelingmachines.com |
