So I was over at my buds house tonight helping him with a couple things on his camper for his families upcoming camp and out walks his neighbor. He took instant notice of the disco I built my buddy while back and seems to be interested in one. We had chatted about them before. So the neighbor says "hey, I got a couple things for you in my garage, back your truck up in the drive" He had me some motorcycle stops for trailers that he's had for quite some time. Then he told me to go over and get the stuff under that tarp on the floor. I didn't know any better but I was blown away when I moved the tarp!!
Check out this bad boy!!
This thing is huge...24" across and heavy.
Oh yeah, he had 6 of them
So the guy is from farm country in Iowa, his trip up on Memorial Day he stopped by his brother in laws brother implement shop and asked if he had any laying around. He said he'd get the rest for me on his next trip in July. I think he has just become my new best friend  _________________ X2 Finished Build

MacEggs, I think youll have me beat on this project man. Looks like my summer and fall welding work is pretty much booked solid. Ill get one in there somewhere though
GF, It was a homerun for sure and if he brings me what he says he will next time, were talking Grand Slam
Maniac, I was like a kid in a candy store when I seen these things, the thoughts and ideas instantly started flying through my head
Mike, I backed on the driveway for these bro...you know, solid ground Im not sure if Fed Ex would want to deliver one of these finished up bro, they are darn heavy...might just have to deliver one myself
John, Hell Yes Brother, I could always use a couple extra discs laying around to cook on...how about you?  _________________ X2 Finished Build

Hello brother Troy!
Wow nice score! Too bad there were no 18" or 20 inchers (hint, hint... HINT! ) in that bunch-O-discos or I would have had to send an order in for one of those fancy Trailerbuilder rigs!
it's good to be back on the ring! lol _________________ SEE YA!
