I'd be willing to bet I was in that particular line ahead of you... Just saying...

By all means, a Happy Modder works better... I just thought mine was the only Bead-Blasted/ Shiny Squonker TI.

My first tmod tranny scheduled to arrive tomorrow... Can't wait!

Just about 24 hours longer... now I'm just impatient. Stupid usps can't go from CA to my door in 24 hours at no additional extra shipping cost. Amateurs.

Well it is still Winter in your neck of the woods, guess the P.O. is still shoveling... but I'll bet it's not snow.

That's a cool pic!

So that's what Ti does when you hit it with the fly mill? Do any other metals do that?

Thanks Tom!
Yeah titanium sparks a lot, generally at lower rpms. The scraps flare up if they get a flame to them as well. The biggest problem with it is just how hard it is tho, you have to go slow, take very small cuts and keep everything liquid cooled/lubed. It basically acts how magnesium does to water.

This isn't my video but it gets the point across: http://youtu.be/_xCAQB2eiiQ

Well don't know what to say tbev, other than this is some bad as* shiit your doing...

I really like the brushed finish and the blasted aluminum. Which do you think has more grip to it? It looks like a toss up.

When I'm ready to go bottom feeder you better believe I'm not looking anywhere else bro. Great work making this happen!

Much appreciated brother! Never let anything but rayon touch my babies!

I think the brushed finish has a tiny bit of texture to it, still smooth but it's not quite as smooth as the bead blasted finish...once it gets blasted it's smooth as a dancers aszz!

Anything for you buddy!

Man. I'm counting down the hours to have that brushed tranny in my hands (sounds so dirty).

I imagine the last of my home slice will disappear quickly (home slice and peanut butter cookie are all that's ever been thru my marquis and I'm nearly out of both.)

The marquis will look so nice on that brushed finish.

Damn it Tom, I just rebuilt this Odin and now it hits too hard and I have to build it again!

Seriously though, this thing rules! Thank you!

Very, very cool!! Blasted 6061 with ridged shiney squonk holes, correct? Really like the look and from what you're saying very minimal voltage drop ;)
