Hi David,
I just have the two Cents (well one and several boxes of bits).
The reason for six was four for myself and two to finish the alluminium billet off :D

Hi,
Would love to build one but unless I can find anyone who is mad enough to want a bridge layer I can not.

Hi,
Since to last video that was on facebook i have just been working on the bridge and hydralic system. Most of the work that needs doing is to sort out the sound system,possibly the speed controller and then fine tuning the bridge release pins.After that it is mostly cosmetic work.
