Chad Kruckewitt.... ..the metal man. it started with a couple of sheets of metal for the tranny. then there were the corners. then the edges. the beautifully welded tranny and angle-iron took the Monster from being a backyard project to a world class launcher, courtesy of Mike Aurelio and Erik Tassio of Western Allied.
Chris Davidson.........want some Skatelite cheap? Unbelievable story of fate and coincidences coming together to save $2,500 and finish the Monster properly.
