Nice job with the skin Gene. Raw aluminum gives me a...ah, well we won't go there.

Looks damn nice! Nothing like the real thing before paint.  :cheers:

Thanks!

The next step will be to tear it all off so I can paint the skin.  I may add some rubber strips to the spacers to help keep dirt out of it...

Ha!  If you saw the dust bunny army that's building under the 'bot you'd be afraid.

Funny how some cameras that say "low light" ain't so hot in "no light": http://www.geneb.org/webcam (http://www.geneb.org/webcam) *laughs*

Very nice work Gene. It looks good. Keep it up :)

But, are you on the lazy side now? Opened your web-cam and it is dark :huh: finally someone has a cam in their workshop, and no one is working  ;D
