    hey Jason...

    I use Rhino 3d to design and surface a model and Surfcam to program the toolpath for the cnc. Most of the work is in the design phase of tweaking the 3d CAD file. Programming the toolpath and jigging up the material for the cnc is the other half of the job.

    BTW, here's a sneak peek at an overdue project that I've been itching to get done. rudy

    If those are skidplates they will definately sell like hot cakes especially if you offer different color schemes!! Nice!

    Some of us were just talking about the side skids in Moab, as well as the front & rear skids -- trying to recall how the original "Ron" front & rear skids were made -- were they blow molded ABS?

    Machined out of high density foam for test fit. BTW, test fits fine. Will tweak the model a bit in cad and will machine out a hard proto when I receive the material.
