Yep because of my buddies shop and the conveinence of it is the whole reason I'm building my own. So easy to grab the welder or plasma cutter or chop saw when it's all 15ft away and ready to go. He has like 5 grinders and drills plugged in and ready to go right next to a big flat steel table so stuff gets done super quick. I imagine I'll set mine up close to his.

Thanks... Yeah they make a 5x5 bolt pattern, I went with a 5x4.75 bolt pattern because of the specs on the rear. They didn't have a 15x11 with a 3.5 backspace in a 5x5 so Derek went with the car bolt pattern. Also if I ever decide to sell them would be easy.

Damn now that's sad to hear...

Sounds like what happened to a guy I work with, before his ex wife gave him any indication she was unhappy she slowly started giving him excuses to sell all his toys, cars, boat, and other things that "the money could be used elsewhere" then when he sold everything she threw the divorce papers at him and basically left his *** in their summer home with no power or anything for a week. Left on his *** with a $1500 child support, one old truck and only half his stocks. Messed up deal.

I got out of it much easier than that.... Still paying cs, but i got outta that cheap too... There was a prenup involved that somewhat still protects me from her coming after me and she knows it especially considering she was knocked up before we were divorced!!!!

Thank God you got your hands on it, that thing was fucked. It's amazing what some people will actually do these days. Can't wait to see the finished product. I've mentioned it before, but my daily all through college was an 85 with a 500 horse 454 and a th400 trans, and 3.42 gears out back. Miller lite drove it most nights and it's amazing I never crashed it.....I was an absolute punk in that thing lol.

Keep doing what you do.........
