Spoke with David this morning. We are next. He's (intending on) rolling out a full size Bronco that he's working on by the end of the week. He's a got a free lift at the moment right next to said Bronco, so he can just pull both of ours in at the same time. He also said he'd sit down this afternoon and put some round about numbers together so that no one is surprised. He expects to give me a call later today or tomorrow. If not, I'll call him on Friday.

Side note: he called the Bronco a rust bucket, lol. I said, "like mine? haha." "No way, yours is a Cadillac by comparison." That thing must be in really bad shape.

Wow rust bucket, hasn't looked under the trac I guess lol. Excellent news, thanks for following up!

Talked to David at 4PM 02/04/13. He says that he's got a spreadsheet that he's written down with prices for us sitting next to his recliner. He says that he'll call me tomorrow when he brings it to work. No, it is not in digital form.

[TxPlates]

I wonder if that's good or bad.

[KF5ZXT]

Word is, work is set to begin next week. Hopefully it is swift and without issue.

What keeps us from doing a swap ourselves?

Because I'd rather not die while driving my rig.

[KF5ZXT]

I'd go with equipment, skill, space, experience. No reason that these things can't be acquired, of course.

[TexasArmadillo]

I'm curious how much engineering is involved. I see tons of threads on EF about it.

Threads with people with engineering back grounds no?

No idea. I was always curious how hard it really was.

My problem is that I tend to over do it. By this I mean over reinforce, over engineer, and over spend. Take a guess which one Becky hates the most.

So Monday it will be done right?

Talked to Frankie over at TAG this morning. They hired a new guy this week, and they've been starting at 6:30 am lately to get stuff out faster.

He also said a lot of the delay for vehicles is the waiting on parts, which they won't have to do with ours, since I was so well prepared. Lol

Talked to David last night. I was planning on asking him if he was going to start on mine in the next couple weeks, because if not, I was going to pick it up Saturday morning to take to the SHR Spring Fling. He said the following: He was in the process of welding some brackets on my rear axle. The 5.13's and Detroit are already set up in it. He has hired two additional fabricators to get things moving. He's 'about to roll two vehicles into the shop, one's an Explorer, and one's a Sport Trac.' Then, 'should be done in just a couple of weeks here.'

[TxPlates]

Well I hope he's not saying roll cause the batteries are dead lol. Here's to hoping in the next couple of weeks they're done. Fingers crossed, breath being held lol.
