I bounced over here from Expo after reading that FRP is closed. I have mixed feelings about the issue, but at the end of the day, what's dead is dead. I did just complete an interior build on my truck borrowing ideas from Dave's first design and Trump's setup, so I am happy with my flippac, but I do worry about catastrophic failure at some point.
Dave, it sounds like you know "Curry" well and have spoken to him about the Torsion bar. Grumon, do you still have your old Torsion bar? If Dave can give you an intro to Curry, I would be willing to split shipping costs to get your torsion bar out to him and buy one if he can mfr a replacement.
