Building a V2K Rack - Page 2

All that work and expertise going into a nice custom rack. Shaping up very nicely, Lobocop! No wonder Kawi charges nearly $250 with material, wages, overhead and chroming. All adds up quickly.

Thanks.

To think they (Fire & Steel) are doing large production runs with automated equipment turning those racks out in just minutes and still getting that price

Yeah, I didn't want to say anything and start a mad rush to your door.

If Ken says it's okay, I'll copy you on the drawings in two/three weeks.

Thanks, Todd.

I have learned how to say no and that I am not interested in putting out a bunch of boiler-plate racks

ImpactG · 04-17-2008

Yeah, that's only something I've recently learned how to say. It's tough...

and I promise, I'll keep things interesting.

Its fine with me, Todd. You will own the drawings and concept. Having personally met Carlo (several times), spent some time with him and aside from all the BS between us ... I consider him a friend and trustworty.

It is tough! Nobody wants to be the bad guy, but by the same token ... it needs to be said before they start running your life and what you do

I look forward to the challenge

... That's been the story of my life. Finally learned my lesson after getting dumped on enough. You know what I mean.

Yeah, I pass those plans to Carlo and see what he thinks. Be good to get some fresh eyes on the dimensions as well.

Getting Carlo to toss some ideas in on it will be good, but got to watch him ... he deals with the metric system north of the border. Can't be getting inches and centimeters confused

Hey tight-wad ... it was $120.00

Ken, there's a strange man in your new garage! And he's using your tools! He looks like a refuge from American Choppers!

Good job, glad you can finally use that new workshop.

Thanks, Tina.

That guy is strange, bizarre and sometimes demented even

I even wore my American Choppers hat for that picture
