    True. And it has to have been previously installed on your VX, then removed to suit my needs.

    That would mean that you get the firstest prototype since that's what I'll be getting. I'm the guinea pig.

    Oh yeah, & it'll be painted John Deere Yellow.

    It's not a bad match to Proton ... as long as it's not right up against a body panel. My diff drop brackets, crossmember & drop brackets, and seat sliders are all painted that color.

    UPDATE:

    I spoke with Welder Guy on Friday. He tacked up (just welded a few spots enough to hold shape till the first fit test) the first prototype but fell back to explore a few produceability options to keep cost down. I'm sure Y'all will appreciate it if we can keep the price @ $200 (just $25 more than the Tone Clone). He hopes to be ready for fit check sometime next week.

    A lot of Ron's business is keeping other small business operators in business. Most of what he works on is equipment that is these guy's only means of income so they take priority.

    I'll keep you posted.
