Supergoose actually lol. I bought it part by part when I was a kid. I sweated out every cent mowing lawns. If you like that you should look at www.vintagebmx.com The hardcore members of that board actually meet here in Rockford once a year at the bmx national event. Lots of stuff to drool over.

Back 6-7 years ago I tried to fab a skidplate, I used Dan888 skidplate as guide. I was given a bunch of pieces of al plate not one piece, so it wasn’t as protective as the Utah skidplate I had. I wasn’t very good at tig welding so it did let me gain some experience. If I had one big piece of al plate I would have learned annealing bending it at the time. Needed to start learning how to run a bead somewhere
