I should be thanking you since the basic model is doable but one with all the trimmings gives me pause. We went in opposite directions back in 1969, actually in September 1968 when I was going into my senior year. I bought a new Pontiac GTO "Judge", 4 on the floor, about 400HP and about 9miles/gal. Al Gore would not have been happy. But since I knew I was going to Vietnam about a year after graduation I figured I might have a nice car while in Officers Basic and Flight School. Should have never sold that thing. I saw an auction where the Judge fetched about $80k. Take care, John -----Original Message-----

I am still intrigued by the product, very much so, more as a work holder than as a panel lifter, however I do note the cost. I have two problems. First the great majority of the components appear to be off the shelf tubing clamps, levers, casters and vacuum pods, which are, all in all, not very expensive items.... the two pair of endplates are the only major "engineered" items and they are flat plates about 16 by 24 with two slots, two lines of holes and minor edge shaping. (A couple of CNC machining minutes I should imagine.)...However... It totals out to somewhere between 6 and 8 grand by the time the cart is outfitted, (and presumably w/o domestic shipping), and as my friend Dennis used to say "that is a bit salty". {The second grump is the same really. I am old and can remember my first brand new 1969 VW bug, which with everything I wanted (including the vinyl walnut dashboard applicates and the nifty real walnut gearshift lever) and including shipping and taxes... they handed me the keys and I gave them a check for a few dollars under two thousand. I know about inflation, and this is not fully rational, but the cart still sounds like three or four VW's somewhere in my head.} Yours gto ------------------------------------ To Post a message, send it to: felder-woodworking@...
