The trip was stressful due to that. The car came out phenomenal. The paint really sealed the deal for me. PAINTER JOE did exactly as we planned and was great to work with. Grant nailed all the lil details and the interior work and pouches and pockets and details really were a step above the rest. It is a Bugatti in the sand. Almost too nice. And the way it dunes is like nothing I have driven before. So smooth.. The power that @J Alper built me was so impressive and intense. I told him I wanted a reliable whipple duner and I think he nailed it.. I had a few questions while out there and Jason answered my call every time. A++++ customer service. The car was so intense to drive I had to learn to adapt to it and drive it. I have never been able to get both my kids in the car at the same time. I was actually able to dune with them and enjoy my rides instead of crying over fear etc. I was undecided on what car to keep and sell. And kind of still am, as I always say everything is for sale for the right price. But I do love the car so far. I did the shake down lost and fried an alternator but that is common I guess. Had a few little issue in the programming box my dash. Otherwise it is bad ass and a supercar for the sand. Huge shout out to @Squatcher for all the help, feedback, and family time. He really saved me and I am going to nominate him for duner of the month. received_610759956867020.mp4 received_1164110813994886.mp4 IMG_6647.3gp Edited January 8, 2022 by URCLEVER 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you loved the car. I carry a spare alternator now because I’ve lost 2 on new motors. Seems there were some issues with some of them. Cool thing about a Funco is there is so much knowledge out there and people are willing to help. It’s been so long since I’ve had a different manufacture I wouldn’t even know the differences. your car is beautiful I know which one I would sell. Lol.

I wish we could have gotten in a good drag race but both of our Alper Engines would just wheelie out of control when we tried to drag. I guess we both need more seat time for drag runs in these new beasts. Have to agree with everything you mentioned about my car as well. Thanks Jason Alper for a killer engine and power. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely need more seat time in it to make me feel more comfortable under drag runs. Alper does what alper does best. Make HP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blow mine out with air at least once a day, same alternator for 10 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
