They made some pretty good equipment. It is too bad they didn't sell their designs to someone else. I guess they don't want someone else making an inferior version of their products. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2012 Posts: 135 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2012 Posts: 135 | From the Chassis Engineering Facebook page, " Chassis Engineering Inc. founder Roy A.
