Looks nice. How much less does it weigh than the stock? I'm gonna make one if it's a big difference....
BTW- you can attach more than one, but you have to upload them to a free site, like photobucket.com, and then just click on the insert image button when posting!

Nice work.
It looks good.
I tried to make a few parts out of aluminum for my Xmods a while back, here is a picture.
I dont even mess with them anymore but I'm still interested in what people are doing with them.

I've made many parts with just a sabre saw, hacksaw, drill press/hand drill and files and they can come out just fine but it takes more elbow grease that way thats all.
I used to use 8-1/2" x 11" label paper and print my drawings out on that then just stick it to the aluminum and drill/cut and file the parts out.This worked very well and is very accurate.
Of course that chassis of mine was done on a mini hobby mill.About the only thing it can do that I couldnt do by hand easily/well was make accurate slots for adjustable motor mounts.
