Pobs Hotshot Registered: 06/10/01 Posts: 9119 Loc: North Wales, UK	Tonester, I think the usual method would be to use steam to soften the wood then bend it in a clamp and let it cool and dry out... not sure if that is how he did it though. The hardest part of pit building is setting up the spray system to spray oil onto the monitor and into your face when you get an engine hit though... cheers, Pobs

The frame work is easy, it's the electronics that boggle me.

453RAAF_Blue Member Registered: 03/27/05 Posts: 343 Loc: Adelaide,Australia	Double Post! Just had a thought, you could even get a hold of some clear perspex and put a windscreen on it aswell, just to stop the oil gettin in ya eyes.. _________________________ RAAF453 Website: http://453raaf.turma.net/ Our Lady of Blessed Acceleration, don't fail us now!....Elwood Blues
