Just out of curiosity- how much does that bracket weigh?
I never got a weight on mine. It will always be a mystery. Maybe Tim will weigh his.

After some motivational coaching from strick . . . I got back on the horse again this weekend. Strick helped me build up the low spots and I got the first layer of mud on the outside. Here's a few updated pics of fairing work . . . So far I'd say it weights about 60lbs . . . that's just a guess. After I finish fairing I'd say it'll weigh close to 700 lbs.

What's that I spy in the back of the pickup? A Kodiak.

Boy of Boy, Bigshrimpin got his act together. He even got a Official Bracket Building Worley Gig Bracket Stand specially made for this project. Looks like we all need to step back grab a Beer shut up and just watch the man do his thing.

Yeah!! Pay attention cause I'll be done in no time . . . that little $35 engine stand allows me to mud 5 of the 6 sides w/o much effort.

I'm sure Strick's gonna get some use out of it too after I'm done.
