I hope it works out for you

Are they going to cut you any deal to test it out?
After all if it can handle your HP it should handle allmost anything any of us will ever put into one.

Tony said he had enough being tested right now. He is taking orders for the case now and they will be ready in 6 weeks. So I will put the rebuilt 205 back into the truck and if it still gives me troubles I will replace it with Chico.

OK here is the new Stak case that Don told me about. This case is just a scaled down monster case. The guy ( Tony ) at Stak told me it is about 10 percent smaller. I made a plywood one and mocked it up. It looks really nice and it will clear the c6 pan. It is close but I think it will work. Keep in mind I have a 3'' body lift. With this lift the case hits the frame at the same time it hits the floor. It is tucked up in the frame pretty good I think.

Ipe I am game fur that. Some people would rather drink hemlock or would have quaking aspen before trying to do this. I could sit here and birch about doing it but I alder get busy. My walnuts are going to hurt from sitting on my ash all day. I am going to use iron wood for the case and maple I will use my cypress head to figure out what wood be poplar to use for gears. When I am done you will be evergreen with envy. It's going to be a burly box, wood you like one? I beech you'll want one.
I highjacked my own thread! What a sapling

That mock-up is looking mighty Cherry; it's looks pretty solid, Buckeye'd think it woodn't hold up. Think of all the sap that would Gum up the internals. Fir sure, it's a nice DIY project that you can say is Maidenhair good ol' US of A. My .02? I'd Sycamore durable finish on it than just wood. Maple it'd hold up, but otherwise it'll be good for nothing but a Pecan. Then again, I always have gone against the grain.

The best I could do is put it in my signature.
