    Custom/Hybrid Nobody tweaks on a 550 this hard

    Given all the composite work, I would recommend widening the bond line, possibly lowering it. That's where a lot of the magic is on these AM hulls. Neat build tho...

    Resurrecting the first Chan (super budget)

    I think I rode that hull! At Daytona, when Steve came out. Seems so long ago. Good times. You need to post the IMG files from Photobucket. Down load the app, makes using your iPad easier. Post more pics!

    PVC stands

    After making 3 and having them successively break, it was obvious that I should have just bought a folding stand in the first place. Bought folding stand, never had a problem again. AND I throw my folding stand on a furniture dolly and it doubles as a shop stand. Lines up with the bunks on my...

    She's the best girl ever

    Dude I said the exact same thing! So far it's worked out great. ~5 years.... She hates when I spend money on ____ but she understands that I need that time and the distraction. Luckily, like you... My wife enjoys participating in most of my hobbies.

    Hand guns

    I have one of those I think.... Single action .22 right? Speaking of .22 I picked up a "colt" .22 1911 the other day. And tomorrow I'm headed to Austin to pick up two little thingys with threaded ends............ :D

    New daily/ tow rig/ family hauler/ project

    Things aren't looking too hot for my Chan. It's been sitting outside for two weeks (OUTSIDE!!!) and last weekend I took the 4runner (which I have affectionately named Barry White) out on its maiden off road voyage. I was thoroughly impressed with what a stock 4runner with a lift could...

    Hand guns

    I started to buy some of that but they were greedy about shipping. I already have some subsonic saved up... Just need my cans.

    I don't need another gun.... But I think I'd like a Glock 19.

    Hand guns

    FWIW OCD, There are a lot of 'knock off' CZ style guns out there. Some are meh, some are awesome. I have a 'meh' version and it still operates well, no issues, feels great. Polymer frame though. But for the $, I can't complain. Great truck gun.

    Hand guns

    @mxmark4 I have a buddy who can get me a magnesium lower for ~$75, so I figure why not. I'm eyeballing a Sabre Defense mid length upper kit... But I kinda wanted to build something instead of just plunking down $700-800 and sticking a upper on a lower. Plus, if I buy the parts $100 here, $200...

    Freestyle Engine blew-10 hours into it- who is @ fault?

    When you take your CHL class, they tell you that if you are forced to pull your gun on someone who is threatening your life, call 911 as soon as you safely can, and not a second later. Because if the attacker/ other person calls 911 first, and says some crazy ass pulled a gun on them, you're...

    Freestyle Engine blew-10 hours into it- who is @ fault?

    So what you're saying is... Bob got Fiore'd? I wish Bob would post up on here instead of your side of the story. Cause I've heard your stories before, and they all smell like BS. @MattJones Chris makes a lot of money, and a more than a few enemies being the middle man.

    >mad about infusion talk >Christian's debt discussion is A-OK Easy tiger.... If I recall, Steve's ad said he would walk/train whoever bought the molds through the layup process, how much material he uses etc. What equipment he used for infusion etc... The process worked well and turned out a...

    backie chan new new builder?

    Glad to see that someone scooped them up. I've never heard of them but ya'll seem to have a good opinion of them. I hope they keep the Chan Brand going strong, it's a good hull. Does anyone know if they're doing infusion?

    Is our sport starting to cost an arm and a leg ????

    I have to agree with the statement about always upgrading, mastering your equipment. My problem is I have "the" equipment, but I seem to be unable to master it. I seem to lack the talent and balls for a BF, and that was my whole goal ever since I saw Lenzi do a BF off his own wake on YouTube...

    Custom/Hybrid Juan JOLO

    Briefly spoke to Steve via txt. Phantom isn't quite final, so when it is, I can start getting excited I suppose. I wasn't sure what you meant by 'chip' either but now I get it. Ill do the silicone thing. All I had was 1/4" plexi, so I scuffed two pieces up and super glued them together. As...
