Got mine too. Thanks for making this possible! Just an observation, I think it would be best for people to plane theirs flat before use.

Mine arrived yesterday...a bit beat and battered (package was open...looked like it was dropped) but shouldn't be a problem since its going to get planed. Thanks again!

yep, yours should be heading out today,
then all of them will be out!

sorry the postal service cant figure out how not to drop things, but being 1/2 inch steel, there is little they could do to really damage them.

Hey Owen,
I still have not received the two I ordered.  Did they ship yet?

Hi Owen,

Let me know if you have any troubles with the shop again.  I do a lot of work with a local guy that does water jetting.  He does very nice work, has a really good turn around and is reasonably priced... Another option can never hurt.  8)

Hi Owen, too bad I missed the first girdle run. I just read about it just now.

I'm still interested in one for my M-TDI Project. I was wondering If you could sent me the CAD file aswell. If not no problem then I'll have to wait for the next run.
