Considered taking orders from us modders yet? I personally could go for some custom aluminium bits and bobs. Its a market waiting to be filled! Mucho respect for you hard work too!
I'd like to be the first to place an order: 1 of every machine you have. I'll paypal or money order. How's $20 sound? American dollar! Such...smooth work, its not fair that he should have so much metal at hand. GIMME!
This thing is going to have to be kept under lock and key. There will be about 500 people trying to find your address. Have you considered hardware sponsors? I bet you could get some mighty nice hardware for that mod by allowing manufacturers to use that at trade shows! We need a smiley with a tounge hanging out its mouth. This is incredible, speachless.
Wow, those columns look really nice - can't wait to see them once you get them chromed Looking more impressive by the day.
