He won't answer e-mails. I've sent a few now and first one i sent was 2 hours after it was posted on craigslist.

That sucks-

Ususally with Craigslist that means that the item is sold- but it would be nice if people would remove the ad when the item is gone.

Try flagging the ad if he wont respond.

I agree, last email i asked if he could just give me a quick "i still have it" or "sorry it's sold". Nothing :evil:. Don't know why i bother looking at craigslist anymore. I'm off to the walnut and bead blaster shop now, gotta clean my motor!

I'll have to send you some pics to see if they are what you want. Side panels and front panel correct?

:lol: It's not about winning or losing, i just hate when people leave me hangin! Lack of communication is irritating. I'm going with the flow and re-building my motor, i "black walnut" and "bead" blasted it earlier today just to clean it. More to come :mrgreen:

That case turned out awesome! I've never tried walnut shells, are they as messy as sand? I just read a tip on a VW site on how to make a soda blaster out of a HF blowgun and plastic tubing. I may try that on some aluminum and see how it works. If you are in kazoo, I may be able to pickup the plastic pieces sometime this weekend if it works out (I live in Wayland, so we could maybe meet halfway in Allegan or something?). PM me when you want to try and get together.

I haven't made one yet but I already have the HF blowgun and some tubing, so it will be a quick try this weekend.
