I want to buy a drop forward, however I noticed a friend of mine built his drop. He however access to heavier equipment than I do. If I would build one, how hard would it be, and how much money would I have to put into it. -------------

You can have like a flat piece of aluminum and bend it twice sort of like a staircase going down.
Or you can take one whole piece of aluminum and mill it to a full drop.
Sorry for the bad paint skills. I think your best bet would be bending it because it doesn't take many tools. |

Or you could make a chain link drop. They look awsome if they are constructed well. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

Um...I'm not sure if there is a spray, but you're be better off welding it. Or if you don't have a welder you can use JB Weld. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

Talk to tigman250 or triggerhappy1. They've made drops. I'm actually looking into one, but don't know if I'll be able to do it on my I-S(Imagine Select) backup. It keeps sucking up liquid CO2, so I have to use my remote. |

If you just want a functional drop that anyone can make just with a
handheld drill, go to the hardware store. They usually have racks of
metal like threaded rods, steel rods, brass pieces, and flat galvanized
steel. Buy a length of 3/4" wide flat steel. Cut it down to length, allow for about 2 inches on each end for the bottomline, and whatever length you want in the middle. Measure out 1/2" from one end, mark it, measure 3/4" from the mark and mark again. Centerpunch the material and drill it out with a .2" bit, do the same on the other side, then stick it in a vise or whatever you have to bend it. You can paint it or whatever. Simple ghetto drop. -------------
