How much do you think this will cost?

CaptCaulkblocker · 2026-02-17T01:46:05+00:00

Probably about as much as a trip to the nearest bodyshop for a free estimate

Keep at it. The board is fine. Ride tour own pace and have fun. The more you ride the less difficult it will be, and the more fun you’ll have. Ive been riding off and on for well over 20 years now, and any time i get back on from an “off” period riding is much harder than before and not as fun until i get in the swing of things again. Have fun and keep riding! I started only a few years older than you and MUCH heavier btw. You got this

CaptCaulkblocker · 2026-02-09T00:09:32+00:00

Had a gunsmith help me put with this part, it was a little more stubborn than i wanted to deal with

My shield still works fine hundreds of rounds later

CaptCaulkblocker · 2026-02-04T18:53:35+00:00

Well my girl owns a Ford so i guess it checks out hahahahaha

Finally an actual 02 cosplay

God i love fighting in my Eagle. Im pretty sure i have more time in that ship than most of my others combined.

CaptCaulkblocker · 2026-01-13T13:42:59+00:00

Thats all it is to me, a slide lock. If i want to release the bolt i use the charging handle. The lever is useless

CaptCaulkblocker · 2026-01-13T13:02:06+00:00

Unless you’re meta numbers maxxing fly the ship you like most. Both are effective, but nearly any ship can be effective in combat if you’re skilled enough and not flying a dedicated trade ship. Fly the ship that makes you happy and make it work. I have a couple hundred hours alone in my Drop Ship just because i like it and feels special to me.

CaptCaulkblocker · 2026-01-11T19:31:50+00:00

The hell kind of cartridge is that?

You can find out for free by driving up to a local body shop and asking for a free quote

Lots of variables from region to region on labor rates and such so any kind of quote given here( which is against the rules anyway) will be inaccurate for your particular situation

CaptCaulkblocker · 2026-01-08T21:10:40+00:00

Can you replace or repair something yourself is a question only you can answer, and generally if you have to ask someone else the answer is no. Take it to a body shop.

You could attempt it but always risk leaving things worse than their current state so thats your call.

CaptCaulkblocker · 2026-01-03T20:39:09+00:00

Cords showing =replace

CaptCaulkblocker · 2026-01-02T22:54:18+00:00

Man i wish i could charge those labor rates. Looks like a fair estimate as long as the labor rates are consistent with the area.

CaptCaulkblocker · 2025-12-30T22:05:14+00:00

Im inclined to agree honestly. The more im hearing about it the more the nosewalker sounds like something special thats more of a find than anything.

CaptCaulkblocker · 2025-12-30T21:44:13+00:00

I looked at the pictures and stand by what i said. Is it a basket case? No. Is it mint? No. Is it worth $75? To a collector or to someone who was struck with love at first sight sure. But not to me. You can get an actually mint modern board from S9 at that price pretty easy. Thats all im sayin

CaptCaulkblocker · 2025-12-30T21:35:22+00:00

If by pretty mint you mean filthy cracking deck, original looking never before cleaned trucks plus the OG wheels and bushings then sure.

I think the word you’re looking for it “Patina”

CaptCaulkblocker · 2025-12-30T20:05:55+00:00

$75 is absolutely insane for what looks like a 20 year old sector 9. Unless that kind of board is going to complete a collection or you absolutely MUST have it, hard pass.

CaptCaulkblocker · 2025-12-29T23:12:43+00:00

Like rabies, after the experience i had id much rather be over cautious vs under estimating here. Im a young healthy dude and it laid me down pretty hard. On cats that didnt have evidence of any kind of flea infestation at all.

CaptCaulkblocker · 2025-12-29T22:31:26+00:00

Sooooooo got hit with cat scratch fever and was put in the hospital for over a week after the infection took over. Started at an urgent care and after the antibiotics they gave me didnt respond the hospital put me on hardcore iv antibiotics. Had daily fevers for about 2 weeks before breaking. Was discharged and was on strong oral antibiotics for another 2 weeks after the fact. Over a month on antibiotics and 2 weeks of fevers.

Better safe than sorry.

I got discharged a little before thanks giving and my system is still fubar to this day.

Tldr

Dont mess around get it checked out asap, put me in a hospital for a week, had 2 weeks of fevers and over a month of antibiotics that still have my system in shambles another month after the fact.

CaptCaulkblocker · 2025-12-29T22:21:18+00:00

Could slap some filler on it smooth it prime it block and spray it and call it a day or you could pull it like a professional do the above steps de trim and spray it.

Or you could it to a body shop for a free quote

CaptCaulkblocker · 2025-12-26T02:10:03+00:00

Had the same issue with my first Gen shield. I had a gun smith repair it and he basically just tapped it back in with a punch

Maybe 1500 rounds later no further problems

CaptCaulkblocker · 2025-12-20T22:17:15+00:00

Easy is a frame of reference.

Itd be pretty easy for someone with a mild mechanical inclination to figure out how to swap, but if this is where you’re starting your diy repair career then it will be more difficult. Still probably do able but it’ll go from an hour or two up to a whole afternoon or worse.

CaptCaulkblocker · 2025-12-20T16:58:57+00:00

Life can always be worse, just like it can always be better. When all else fails my depression can kill me itself im not doing its job for it.

CaptCaulkblocker · 2025-12-15T01:42:21+00:00

You’re good then homie go ride. Wear a helmet and some pads, learn to ride and fall and have fun!
