The gtcpldp.com website has been updated with new content, photos, examples etc... It's finally coming together, still aloong ways to go, but now it's starting to be the site I had envisioned, hopefully it can help people with their pumping and LDP setups. There is also quite a bit of new info on the trucks, and bushing pages.. http://www.gtcpldp.com
The Reflex Lime 80a bushings, barrel and tall cone are amazing. Lathing them and rounding off the corners makes such a huge difference it's unbelievable. This is my go-to LDP bushing setup at the moment. This wold also be ideal for the right slalom course.
I just set this up yesterday. It's got a Glacized Bennett 4.3 front, Grombiz rear, Jet black dyed Lemon/lime Bigzigs. Bones Reds, front Race west precision spacers, inverted rear wheels, stainless steel hardware with top washers, bushings dialed in for him now. It will be in its owners hands soon. This board is the pinnacle of the GTCPLDP. I think it's going to be a magic carpet riding board.
We will now be offering a new Acrylic gloss protective finish in the bottoms of boards. It will be a sprayed on clrystal clear finish that will offer a protective clear over the cured poly, that will have a much more glossy finish on the boards. It will require a one week addition to the normal wait fo the board due to cure times. This will be an additional $5.00 option for those interested. http://www.galaclongboards.com/contact.html
I will be doing a small batch of these this week,I will be doing one of each color.Red, Blue, Pink, Grape, Yellow, Green, Orange. I am now taking orders, and will be offering yourchoice of color combinations, you can pick any color you want for the baseplate, and color for the lettering in the hanger. It will take roughly 1 week, to finish and shipa truck when you order one. These are $50.00 (which includes free shippingwithin the continental US) through paypal.

The Galacized Bennett is now available..They will be selling for $50.00 shipped within the continental US. They will be available in 7 colors that you can mix and match. http://www.galaclongboards.com/galacized.html
I'm busy working on a "Galacized" Bennett 4.3 truck.. It's going to have a custom painted baseplate and the recessed lettering in the hanger is painted to match. The hangers have been heavily faced, and the bushing seats on both sides of the hanger have been sanded, buffed, smoothed out. The entire hanger is sanded, and buffed smooth, to a dull satin finish. It will have a custom bushing setup with Nylon washer on the bottom, and a Grade 8 flatwasher. And it will have Khiro spacers. The pivot cup is replaced with a sanded and buffed Khiro pivot cup.. The pivot cup is then lubricated with a special silicone grease that takes out all squeaks and noise and make the movement within the pivot smoother and more fluid. There will also be a very small spacer on the kingpin between the top and bottom bushings that is approxiamtely 1/8" tall, it creates a union between the two bushings, and helps create more rebound.. These trucks will be smoother and more fluid than an off the shelf Bennett.. I plan on selling these in very limited runs. The will come in red, yellow, grape, blue, orange, pink, green. These are kind of like a Bennett (Deluxe) I will photos ready by tomorrow.. No price yet, but I plan on keeping them affordable.
