So....I won a Desert Dynamics chassis at Glamis this weekend and am sooo excited to learn more about Desert Dynamics, the building process, engines and everything so we can build an awesome car for my hubby. Any info you all have would be appreciated. We currently ride quads and drive my dad's car which is a Sandworks with the turbo Honda but we are thinking about going with the LS1 instead.......Let me know what you think........but no bashing please! I'M SO EXCITED THANKS TO DESERT DYNAMICS AND CYCLE TRADER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats!

Check out their website.....

First off...is the car built to have a V6 or V8 in it. I believe the rear engine cage is extended 6" for a V8 car.

Is the car Tabbed for a certain Engine & Tranny??? Dual Shocks front & rear???

My opinion...have it tabbed for a Mendeola Tranny. As for your engine Choice...do you like to Dune or Race the Drags.

But find out what your car was meant to have.


O-yea...Congrats on your New Car

I love my DD...Just wish it had a Mendeola in it.

I think that he said they usually run V8's and I know we will use a Mendeola. I have so much to learn and want to know all about the process and the car so when somebody asks, I don't say........"oh, you gotta ask my husband". I love this stuff and want to learn all I can.

I want a good duner but it's gotta be a little fast too......:-)

Do you know if a tranny mount has been welded in yet??? And then find out if you can fit a V8 in it or not.

That will get you started. After you find that out...then work on a engine/tranny combo.

I bet it looked like this one.

Congrats on the win.
Look at Permagrins thread

You do not need to get a extreme as his but you should be able to come up with a combo that will work for you.
They build a very good frame to build off of

Good luck with your baby.

Oh, isn't she so pretty.............the girls here at work just don't understand!!!!!!!

Yup she is pretty
We were eyeballing it while it was in camp trying to cook up with a plan to have it disappear.

Where were you camped?? Gecko or down by the mall or where?

Wash 6

When I was growing up we camped in the washes, I loved it over there. Now we camp at Pad 5 on Gecko every time.

Oh, isn't she so pretty.............the girls here at work just don't understand!!!!!!!

Hey swark......more details please. Did you buy the chassis from DD, roller or turn key. Give me all the juicy details on the car........please!!!!!!!!!!! Is it just for sand??

I'd be glad to help,,,, just PM me when you get it off the trailer and have a budget figured out $$$$$. ,,, Ohhhh one more teaser,,,,,,

Beautiful car! Thanks for sharing the pic. It's gonna be a while before Dave can make it into a roller for us and then I don't know where we'll go from there. My dad bought his last car complete and I wasn't much into the process as it was an out of state builder so we really don't even know where to start. Budget will be a concern as the car is going to cause us to upsize our truck and trailer as well. It will be an expensive year.....but we only live once and WE LOVE THE SAND!!!!!!!!!!

DITTO THAT !!!!!!!! ^^^^^^^^ .

.

That is so cool that two people won chassis's.

Even if it wasn't me

What a great start!!!!!!!!! You got a sister??????

There are some DD's in the buy sell section that should give you a pretty good look at what has been done with the different builds.

You came to the right place. I got some great advice when I was building my car (not a DD)

Keep us posted as the build progresses.

i love my dd rail v6 3.5 turbo honda !!!

Yep, I got a sister but she doesn't like to get dirty. She'd rather go to a nice restaurant and have a good glass of wine while you'll find me draggin' my dirty ice chest of beer around pad 5.

watch your cv angle or you will be replacing them yearly or get high angle shafts from jesse like i just did!!
