Where: Justin's house in Lakewood. PM for address, not gonna put my location out to the interwebs.
When: 2/22/15 from 9:00a until we're done.
How: In your Bronco, of course!
Why: Because everyone likes an extra 10 inches.
Kirk and I will be knocking out a trial set of arms and building a jig beforehand, so hopefully we can make several sets of arms over the course of the day. We'll likely set this up assembly line style, so please bring eye protection, hearing protection and heavy gloves. I think Kirk and I have most of the needed tools between us, but if anyone has a portable garage heater that'll be nice to have. I'll have coffee and either doughnuts or breakfast burritos available and we'll likely send someone on a pizza run for lunch-contributions for both will be appreciated. We'll also be taking small donations to offset the cost of welding, plasma, and cutting consumables.
Group Buy: We will have the ability to purchase all the needed parts through the club. Metalcloak has offered us a 5% discount and Ruffstuff has given us a 15% discount. Hinton is special ordering the steel so no discount but their pricing is the lowest in town.
You will need the following parts:
-A set of factory radius arms from a 66-79 Bronco or 70's-ish F-150. You will need to provide these.
-2x.25" wall DOM-6' @ $9/foot plus 7.62% sales tax-$57.89. I'm adding in a little for inevitable waste ($70 total), as the sticks don't come in exact sizes.
-1.25" shank joint x2-Metalcloak joints will be $56 each plus $5 shipping per person.
-2.625" width brackets-$38.27/pair
-1.25" tube bung-$21.30/pair

Total: $274.67
Please send money via Paypal to 3flyingmonkeys@gmail.com. Please either send it as a gift for friends and family or include the 3% processing fee ($282.91) if you'd prefer to go that route. I need to have money in hand by the time I order on Monday. If you can't do Paypal please PM me re: alternate arrangements. If you want to purchase other stuff from any of the vendors, including Hinton, please let me know and we'll work out the money. Any steel left at my house for more than a week might wind up as part of my rig.
