Just a peice of advice about your notch. You should have used a longer piece if angle iron. It appears you used just enough to cover the opening you cut. You should have extended it about a foot on each side to spread the load over a larger area. Take a look at off the shelf notches they are really long. So with that said i would cut off that piece you used and install one 3x as long.

Also looking at the way you attached the spring at the bottom. It appears you used a bolt and a thin piece of metal to "strap" it down. This does not appear to be a good idea either. I sugget looking at some normal coil spring setups and replicate what you see.


Also quite being so cheap, spend the money you need to spend. If you dont have alot of money the accept that your gonna have to work slower to do it right

If you can't afford to do it right, how can you afford to do it twice?


Man, that's so appropriate right now.

I don't always post on PT.net, but when I do, it's to wonder what the hell people are thinking when they make "builds" like this.

Also another piece of advice, please STOP posting your contact number.... Members can post up links to non-sponsors as long as it is not for personal gain. Usually these types of links are simply deleted however this time, since i am having a boring night, i decided to replace each picture you posted with your number with a different picture.... You can simply blur out or block out your number on future and existing pictures if you want... Please consider this a warning to stop posting your number, besides i believe you mentioned earlier that you were receiving alot of prank calls, this should help solve that...

Thanks and keep up the good work just don't post your number...
