It's cool. It's not that you're bugging me. It's that I just haven't had time to do anything more on it, as far as drawing it in CAD or anything.

Only if you have my skill-set and work for $5/hour, which is about what I end up making on this stuff, if I count all the "extra" time that goes into it, not just fabrication time. As I've said several times, if I was doing this to make money, I'd be better off being a greeter at WalMart...

Mine should have, but it's a hobby...

Yep... It just takes an Engineering degree and 15 years to show up.

I keep thinking about these transmission skids, are you still making them? And did the cost change? Thanks! 
The problem with the Trailblazer is, people think you know what you're doing.
