thanks man. Battery box is painted with high heat now. hopefully installing before the weekend

battery box I plasma cut and a buddy at work bent for me. bus bars are almost done....just need to sand them down to 6-800 and clearcoat

I love it already!

Finally picked up my own drill press instead of rushing through side projects on lunch break. Got it for 50 bucks... guy said it probably has about 10 hours total on it....definitely looks like it! Started building bus bars for the D4700

Those pictures make me think the box didn't survive the trip and the shipper just went wild with the tape...LIke you said, would be really interested to know if it left there facility like that. Id probably give them a call, send them the pictures/video and ask. I think every XS I've ever ordered has come in the manufacturer's box with styrofoam. Literally just got my D4700 yesterday; ordered from showtime (through ebay) and it came like that. Soon as I see it, I get the camera out. Thankfully, I've never had one damaged...but the syrofoam never survives in solid pieces.

saw on facebook they were saying it wasn't the first time....so he may be put away for a while

she's all built. The terminals took forever cuz I wanted them to look a certain way. unfortunately, may have to sell it before I run, but we'll see...

Finally got a job offer from a company I really wanted to work for! Waiting for background checks to come back...Hoping I can stay with this one for a long time.

been listening to this album non-stop. Has so many greats on it....

I dropped 30 pounds in the last 4 1/2 months, went from 193-163. Started in December, slowly building up to go to the gym 5-6 days a week (my muscle recovery took forever at first). Stopped eating crap...easiest thing for me was just telling yourself not to waste time/money eating things your body doesn't need. I adopted a lot of exercises from the Athlean-X program. Didn't buy it, just went on youtube and watched a shitload of his workouts. Ron is right, it's a lifestyle change, but you have to stick with it.

thanks man. Gonna try to build this Zv3 for the weekend and see how it goes.

Got a highs amp to match my 15.1....

Most if not all unconventional (stupid) things I've done in my previous builds were advised against by other forum members looking out for me....And they were right

changed my diet and started going to the gym 6 days a week. Lost almost 20 pounds since december.
