thanx again guys.
yeah i totally fell in love with skateboarding. longboards are fun and I just started last november at the age of 40.

the wheel wells are done just like you said, had the trucks on the board and marked the spots where the wheels would hit if I didn't have axle extensions.
and then used a 1" ball mill to cut away. a belt sander would work too.

I haven't even thought about selling them. right now I am making them for myself and for fun, but if I ever did, I'd make the decks and have everybody just get the trucks they want.

thank you guys
