I love this thread - question you say you have a "south beach" jacket? it looks way better than the one I just got and returned. still looking for a good (but not $500) jacket myself.

I got this exact jacket, I assumed it was a south beach jacket judging from the pictures and other reviews on it. its currently 99$ ( i might need to order a new one since I got a little fat since halloween ;)

Well I got a south beach (from an auction that claimed to be a us leather jacket company) and it was crap (just sent it back) not even leather - it was some odd super hot to wear vinyl like thing and the color and buttons were terrible.

Metacon, a small convention here in Minneapolis. Actually meeting him tho, was fate I believe. He isnt a guest or anything of the Convention. As I said before I wore my rocketeer costume on friday, and had literally over 100 people take pics with me, so when I got home I googled: Metacon Rocketeer, to see if any of those pics would show up, well a thread over on Rangerboard ( power rangers) and someone mentioned that the Pink ranger was good friends with Billy and He was tagging along for fun. If I didnt google for pics of myself earlier I would have never had any Idea at all.

I just got back from visiting Clint at Acme Designs and I as able to check out his original rocket pack and see the shop! We discussed my next project, which will be making an all metal rocket pack. So stay tuned for that! He helped me solve the last piece of the puzzle, so I will be starting that project soon.
here are a few pics!
