yodaclaus Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Hello everyone, This is my first build EVER, and I gotta say I am very excited. It looks like all of my pulls are pretty good, but I haven't started trimming yet. It seems like the belt has a good length for the drop boxes? But, of course, I will follow the advice of more experienced folks Would it be wise to starch the belt to stiffen it up? Obligatory Brown Box photo... Unboxing... The first layer... Second layer... The belt, with four Chicago screws... I will need to get a new belt, huh? Helmet. More to come... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yodaclaus Posted January 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Trimming is going well, will post pics later - but I'm noticing my spare tire is keeping the ab plate from the kidney plate. 6" on each side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Trooper[501st] Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Search the forums for kidney shim tutorials. I had to do it myself. Do it clean and use ABS paste to make the seam disappear from the outside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out my build thread. I had to shim my my biceps, ab, kidney, thighs, and calves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
