We just got in both of these. They are starting to ship today. The Universals are just the bones!

Thanks, the pictures really do not do it justice. Once you see it in person, it's so much nicer. I am glad we went with this finish.

I just noticed the holes in the chassis to get at the front of the steering rack...very nice man.

And the wider hole for the pinion gear set screw...genius. It's always a pita to get at that damn screw.

The top of the chassis looks great as well. Looks like you took a lot out. Is that to lighten or for flex?

Thanks Ethan, the XRAY one is on the docket.

A little bit of both. The chassis is still not going to flex a bunch, but the 4 flutes help cut down on weight and a add a tick of flex. I still typically run only 4 top deck screws (the 2 most forward and 2 most back) along with the center post with the aluminum chassis. Instead of screws I use the spec R special shoulder screws. This adds a bit more flex and keeps the top deck keyed in better. I like the soft, stock top deck for it. We are planning on an even softer one as well.

Interesting about the shoulder screws, that should allow it to flex a bit more. Have a part number on those or are they special made?

If there's one thing I'd put on my wishlist it would be better bushings for the caster blocks. They seem to have quite a bit of play in them, especially after a hit or two. What I've been doing is driving a wood screw through the hole in the caster block to give it a bit of a tooth, then putting a little shoe goo around the outside of the bushing to hold it in and eliminate the slop. It works well but a better fitting bushing would be a lot less work. Happens on the top at the ballstud and at the bottom with the screw. Just the slightest bit of slop introduces quite a bit slop into the toe and camber. And don't get me started on the bushings for the steering rack...
