Re: Getting ready for the Big One!

It would be a big help if you could send me the files for the base. You could pm if that is preferable. If not, no problem. You have already been a big help. Thanks

Just purchased the Mako. Could you advise, send a pic, or send me to a topic that would give me some assistance on attaching sacrifice layer below the project. Things like should I get more clamps, cut paths for t track bolts... etc.
