Built to Grind Volume DVD Specials!
   
 
 

7-27-10 Posted the second trip report from our Alaska trip, this one chronicles our trip to Ruby Lake. I really enjoyed this trip and the scenery was awesome everywhere you looked.

7-26-10 Just got back from a summer vacation in Alaska.  I have a ton of pictures to post starting with this trip report here.

7-14-10 For those of you interested in a set of chassis plans of my current project I have put up a pre-order page here.  I am hoping to have the plans finalized around the first week of August.  All pre-orders will receive the usual 2 free DVD's along with a bonus 3rd dvd, BTG Volume 4. I will also be putting some of the brackets and misc. water jet cut part files up for download for purchasers of the plans.  The link to this site will be included in the directions.  You should be able to give the part files to nearly any mfg. with a CNC cutter and save yourself some fabrication time. 

7-10-10 Posted an update to the buggy project.  This weekends task was to get the rear struts mounted. Details here.

7-5-10 Been fighting the heat but still making progress on the buggy. Update is posted here.

6-20-10 Posted more pictures on the last update covering the dash and firewall sheet metal.  My shocks are due in next week and I just received my steering ram back so I have a busy week ahead of me.

6-15-10 Added some updates to the last couple of project pages from the work over the last few weeks.  Some of the work was boring but needed (tear down, gear install and rebuilding the front axle) while other stuff was much more fun like the sheet metal work that I have been doing while working to get all the controls positioned.

5-31-10 The heat is coming.  This may have been the weekend I am able to put in a full days work before the 110's hit us.  The latest project updates are here.

5-20-10 In an effort to keep my project updates more organized I am going to try and group updates and pictures relating to major assemblies together, even if that means placing the latest updates on older pages.  I have made several updates, one covering the exhaust work I did two weekends ago here, a new updated from last weekend covering the coolant line routing here and some more work I have done on the front suspension here.

5-12-10 Posted Project Hellraiser 2 update.  Been chipping away at the welding and bracing while waiting for my seat brackets.

5-2-10 managed to get most of the front 4 link figured out on the new buggy, details in the latest project update.

4-25-10 Posted a few trip reports, one from last weekend which took us to the Sheep's Bridge Crossing and another trip report from this weekend and run down Ruby Wash.  I also have a project update I am working on, check out the last couple weeks of progress here.

4-11-10 Been a few weeks since the last update but I have been working away on the new chassis every chance I get.  Here's the latest updates from the past two weeks.
