  1. Sounds good, just let me know.
  2. Mine was blue not red And yes yes to boring holes and filling them with lead. Same thing we did. Then covered them will filler and painted the car. Dont forget powdered graphite on the nails for the wheels.
  3. Good luck with that. I built a car that won so many pinewood derbys as a kid that they actually quit letting me use it and made me build a new one each year. I just copied the design and continued to win.
  4. +1 Yup. MPG in the teens to low 20's is more realistic.
  5. I get it now. You intentionally mis-spell as part of your interwebz persona. Fountain? Oh wait I mean fountin? Thanks for playing, come again.
  6. First a little background on my town experience. Growing up we had big campers and boats we towed and I used to tow my jetski with my grand am. Ive driven box trucks with trailers and up to semis when I worked for the moving companies Ive towed a ton of large equipment when I worked construction from everything from a standard truck to a dumptruck I can tell you from experience that towing a 2 bike trailer with your accord is not the best idea and here are just a few problems your going to have. First, your going to use so much extra gas you may as well just pay the extra renters fee. You are going to be amazed at how much gas that little accord will drink towing. Renting truck/van and extra fee will be cheaper. Wind on the road will make it unstable and towing it at higway speeds it will most likely sway back and forth pretty bad especially if you load it wrong. Once it starts to sway, its going to cause you some really dangerous situations in that little light weight honda. This is going to be compounded by the fact that you will be so close to max load on the trailer. Im guessing, (just a guess) but you are going to be way over loaded for tongue weight once you get that trailer loaded and will risk effing up your car bad if you hit the wrong bump. By effing up your car i mean ripping the hitch clean off. You seem to be looking at hubs for 2K axles and I would almost bet they dont fit those 1200lb axles on that harbor freight trailer. And if you do decide against all the advice given here, at least pay attention to the comments about bearing buddies, larger tires, and taking a grease gun with you. Oh and get the highest AAA package you can find because you will most likely need it. Also if you do do it, I would sugest taking the bikes and trailer all loaded up down through southern ohio or eastern ohio hills to see what your in for before trying to head west. You are getting in way over your head.
  7. Try again in English please. And the bold is just the start.
  8. I do quite a bit of reloading and it depends on what your looking to do to be honest. I have a friend that is a custom reloader as a living so I can give advice from that standpoint as well. 1. To manufacture and sell ammo, you need a license from the ATF which I believe is only $25-$50 per year. You can find it on their site pretty easily. 2. Before you can even think about a return on investment of your equipment, there are multiple things to consider. You will be able to pay for your equipment fairly quickly if you are loading for yourself and shooting quite a bit. How quick depends on what you are loading. .308 and up will give you a ROI quicker then pistol will. If you are thinking about making money reloading and selling, you have to find a market. 5.56 and pistol for people you know will be quickest assuming they want better then bulk and cheaper then factory. (fyi, your reloads probably wont be better then factory but may be cheaper if you dont count your time. . Youre only possibility of an sales audience is the random range go'ers, AKA, people just dumping rounds and dont really care about accuracy. 3. Accuracy in reloading takes a shitload of time and to make it go quick you need some fairly expensive equipment. 4. With that being said. I think after you look at the time and equipment it takes to reload for yourself, you will no longer want to try and reload to make money. And lets not forget the liability issue which I wont even go into. My suggestion would be to start loading for yourself and you will find out real quick if its something you want to do. Being honest with you, I would never buy reloaded ammo from someone that just got into it because you dont have the experience and havent had those "Oh shit" moments that really cause you to learn and be meticulous. You need to load for yourself for a good long time before trying to load for someone else.
  9. Well said... Some of your toughest and hopefully most rewarding times are ahead of you.
  10. There is a difference when you have a business. Like I said, I wasnt trying to be a dick but its something to think about when your income may be affected by what you do / have done. Its just something to consider and be ready to deal with if that time ever comes, which I hope it doesnt. I hope his business takes off and I wish him the best.
  11. Do you think it will be positive or negative business once the correlation gets made between your assfault junkies shop and your assfault junkies wheelies and wreckless ops down the highway news story? Not being a dick but just saying that little activity could come back to haunt you with a storefront.
  12. Very nice piece and allot of hard work in it. I too have a problem with veneers. I know allot of new furniture has them but if im paying that kind of money, I dont to hear the word veneer or plywood.
  13. I live in Columbus so no shipping required.
  14. Careful what you say everyone. Be careful calling him an idiot or saying what he did was stupid because you will have the ones on here saying he didnt crash and therefore was riding safely. Next thing you know we will have another scooter in a snowstorm ranting and raving thread. Hypocrites.
  15. Well played sir, well played. FYI, I should have a copy of SolidWorks 2010 showing up real soon.
