P1000 Delton's painfully slow build

[Delton]

Looking good.
Did you ever consider making your right side tube large enough to double as your snorkel?

That thought never occurred to me. That's the outside the box kinda thinking I like. May keep that in mind when I build another one.

What I was thinking about was not as cool as what you are doing with your roll gage!
I was kicking around the idea of unbolting the center section and making a drop in replacement, it would consist of a 2.5 inch tube going out to the edge up the side and across the top to make a loop integrating into a steel air box utilizing the stock filter,eliminating the one piece top seat cushion using a pair of RZR seat backs and a custom center.
How about that for a wild idea?
There is only about a 25% chance I will get to it for the lack of time.

Lack of time is my middle name lol. That stock center section needs to be replaced anyways. Way too heavy. I have no way of weighing my front section but pretty sure it's lighter than stock. With thicker tubing (.095).

The hours of detail you and others put in is incredible.

Dang I hate all the disorganization in my shop!!! I can't find crap. Probably because I've been living in there every second I'm not at work lol. Metal chips, welders, torches, scrap tubing, benders, bandsaw, parts thrown everywhere. Driving me nuts. I need a bigger shop.

Or something like this but with a more severe slant.

Bigger shop just means the disorganization on a larger scale with more walking/looking time trying to find something!

Tell me about it! I went straight there from work tonight and was just gonna enlarge harness mounts to accept stock seatbelt bolts. I've got a set of brand new reams in there somewhere. Couldn't find them to save my life. Spent an hour looking for them then finally just said to heck with it and went inside. Nothing got done ( other than digging 7 or 8 tube notcher slugs out of the sole of my work boots lol).. Hitting it in the am around 8.

Done the same thing Sat. Was using a small screwdriver and walked away from what I was working on for a minute..Came back and it was gone. Spent a good half hour looking for this dam screwdriver..Yes I have many screwdrivers but it was the point of the matter. Finally frustrated I decided it was time for a chew..In my pocket the whole time

I've seen his shop when it was supposed to be organized... He ain't kidding.

Hey it WAS organized last time you was here. I knew where stuff was back then lol. I gotta stop starting several tasks at once.

You ain't kidding! Those things will mess your day up fast. Rig hasn't moved an inch in 2 weeks. I'll have to inspect around it well before I move it. Those crap Bighorns couldn't take running over one.

 

[Delton]

Progress!! It's a beautiful thing lol.

 

[elkguide]

That rig "might" actually get finished????
