Rohit Saqa Lal:
I have been trying to make a set of rods for myself and match them to this baby that I used to own previously. My fav ride to date. 5.7L of Chev V8




I am now running around in an AWD drive version of the same thing but alas its dull old grey but if I sell lots and lots then I'll upgrade to latest model which now runs a 6L Chev :D



My dreams are shattered, I cant find stocks of the bright red EVA that I used to sell so will have to put that dream aside and hope I can score some of that EVA at a later stage

In the meantime I am on a new mission. This is the Daiwa Maverick 6500H and I am in lust . New project is to build up on my GT Popping blank in matching colours. The other red EVA that has arrived looks to be a good match and I have the right colour threads. I will be glueing up the handle tonight and upload pics as the build goes on. Will be doing this in between work so will take a some time



Wish me luck!! Mrs doesnt understand

Rohit Saqa Lal:
Had a bit of an accident last night. Went to woolies to grab some steaks and stepped on a grape. As you can imagine, the spill was something to behold. Injured my left leg though and still in a lot of pain. Rum and neurofen is helping some.

Feeling well enough to continue working so onto glueing up the handle. I have both EVA and hypalon in the not so funky red. I am torn between the two but think I will go with the EVA to save some weight

Ben Rutkin:
If only they had grapes instead of banana peels on MarioKart you would have known to swerve.

It will be pretty awesome when you are done, but Im not sure it will top the SW Combo you posted a fortnight ago.

Rohit Saqa Lal:
Here is the complete handle. It turned out better then I expected. This red is starting to grow on me. Hope you like it

I went a lil too deep on the scallop just before the butt cap, oh well, its home baked!

Jay Burgess:
Quality work mate, what blank are you using?
