Aluminum steering shaft, but I am hesitant to use it for safety concerns.

Re: My Lightweight Syclone
How about I bring my TY back up and you can mold it :lol: When will the hoods be done?
CarbonFiber AWD said:Lets hope so for my wallets sake. I've blown a ton of cash on collecting up all the parts and materials for building these molds. It took me years to get a full extra set of cladding that was nice to use as plugs for molding too.
I do still need the passenger side rocker to begin prepping for plugs though if anyone is in a giving mood ?
Theoretically, I should be able to build a FULL bed with floor and inner substructure including double walls and wells under 60lbs.73lbs. includes a full double walled gate w/cables.
Can you imagine ?! :tup: Resin Infusion deffinatly makes alot of things possible for weight and strength. Near F1 race quality for our flippin' trucks.
