      Well only 3-1/2 weeks left, & a lot to get done!
      The trailer is still at the paint shop. Hopefully I will have it back in a few days.
      Only 2 rods left to build, all the leaders are made, supplies are being gathered & fabrication has begun!
      After watching it RAIN at the house Sunday, I finally got some work done yesterday.
      Here are some shots of the lower rack frame.
      More to come!!!

        Finally got the trailer back from the paint shop! Looks freakin aweome, although it makes my rustoleum black paint job look like krap! Once I get the rack finished & mounted and slap my decals on there, it should even out the red. Hopefully I will have all fabrication finished this weekend & paint and mount the rack by the end of next week.
        I am really starting to geek out about this tournament. Everything is coming together as planned.
        The next update will prolly be Sunday night.

            Well it is coming together slowly but surely with my one man army! Should (hope) to have everything welded & painted by Sunday evening. I will get more pics up soon. Having a little trouble with the welder maintaining a constant arc, so I will be returning it for a swap out today. Fun little (big) project so far, but between T-ball & work, I feel like I am falling behind.

              You rent the welder or buy? You've got me wanting to finish mine now...after 6 months!

                    This has not been a labor of love! As usual I get an idea stuck in my head & it turns out to be a much bigger project than I thought it was going to be.
                    However, IT IS DONE!! Hopefully my welds hold and the maiden voyage isnt her last!!! Tonight the fenders go on and the load out begins for a Thursday morning departure.
