I gotta say I just love the down under colloquialisms, but I have to ask - how did you get the chassis up there?

Yep, good stuff! I wondered about how the chassis got up there, too. Probably strapped it to a couple Kangaroos and hopped it up there.

Thanks for the translation.

You prolly have a fork lift. But how do you get it home without scratching it.

I'm with Mark on that. Looks better than new. Curious if you took the spring packs apart.

That does look cool! Tell us how you did it. Are the letters embossed there and you painted them or did you add that?
