lol yeah man. I kept having to sand off the paint I was putting on cause I kept getting these little bumps in the paint. turns out the lint free cloths I was using to wipe off during wet sanding weren't so lint free after all. It's been a real pain in the rear but I'm rolling now. Stuff like this just makes me respect excellent craftsmanship and pure skill and talent from people like the guys who painted this case at smoothcreations. I wonder how much of it is actually free handed.

Oh, I have to get hip replacement surgery In August man, thats why I havent been around as much as usual. I am only 29 but I have had arthritis since I was 5, but whatever. Anyways, they are supposed to do the surgery in August 20th. So that gives me the summer to exercise and just enjoy the few months I have left before going to rehab post surgery. So, I do apologize for not being around as much but honestly I been here for a long time even before giveaways, I dont expect that will change win or lose. Good luck to you all and grats to winner.

Hate to hear about that hip replacement--ouch.  I have arthritis too.  I have been stressing out over winning this killer rig so bad, that I am beginning to bloat.  Put me out of my misery or just shoot me.

Savage Animal:

I woder how many people put in just 1 post and never came back? They are missing out on a very informative board.



yeah ive been reading and rereading this thread and i see loads of people who ahve 4-5 posts say something along the lines of "it would be awesome if i win this.." and leave.

one thing i did notice though, is the board dies down between contests... or is that just me? could be my excitment level is way too high.

No I think your right Ice. Seems like a peak right when the contest is announced and then again right before the winner is announced.
