U should warn us about the long long page. My IE crashed when i clicked on the link. :D

it gets depressing, i did most of it over 3 days last easter, its been 12 months and i really havnt done much except use it in its unfinished state, i really have to get it done. Latley i've seen a few metal framed sim's, i've beem thinking of ditching this and building a "metal frame" type sim with no dash, i really cant decide.

the wooden frame is strong, dosnt move at all, the hard thing is i have the sim in my study, so i look at it everyday, and usually race it every friday night, given how busy work, and other things are im suprised i still have time to race on friday nights.

Easter is coming this week, maybe you can finish it now =)

I love how the shifter tunnel has a kink in it. Looks rad.

You have the PC inside the pod frame. No CPU case. You can say you have the coolest PC case mod in the world, it's a car!
Good luck with it.

over a few drinks the other night, myself and a few friends added up what each part is retail, just short of $6,000 so far, i really didnt think it was that much.

Suprising at first, but easy to believe. Not so hard to understand why they want to charge like $20,000 - 45,000 for full motion sim rigs is it. :tilt:
