gorilla, I'm curious why you made it of such thick wood?



its supposed to be 21.2 (i did my math wrong)


i used the 2x6's because 3/4inch plywood in florida is $32

and I was thinking about using a bearing block as well as a ball bearing in the wood itself for the canitleverd wheels
also i wanted to be able to use screws as well as the liquid nails.......

i figured the extra weight was worth it

and i wanted to be able to just bolt our supershifters to the wood also
