Well been wraped up with work lately so nothing good has been done to the old girl,but I did pick up this Corbin Gunfighter seat from Mr. Boostable , thanks for the chance at the seat. He is a stand up guy so if he is selling something you can trust the description he gives you. Thanks again

Here you go Leon some machining porn for you Lol. I had some time to kill today so I started roughing out my ignition cover that will have a clear window, I will see how this one comes out and model the rest of them after it. It will have 10 4mm screws holding the window in and a oring gasket. Tomorrow I wil write a finish program and see how she comes out.
