Josh-1974

Price??

I know the location.  I cover the 11 Western States working for Miller (Welding Mfg).  If I had a regular travel schedule it might be a fit.  He's due for his license this year so maybe in the future..

To bad you aren't just a bit closer, we live in Hidden Valley, South of Maricopa.  My son was helping at the Dwarf Car Museum, but the owner fell ill and the family took it over...

I have them on DVD ...

Same thing I plan on doing in my back yard! Hardest part is finding cheap shipping containers.

I went with dry-van (moving truck) containers because the connex thing was/is crazy right now.  These each have a 30,000lb floor rating are are designed to have forklifts driven inside of them.  

I am building my container shop here in AZ... Each container is 8"6" wide 9'6" tall and 28ft long....

You used to be able to click the three dots at the bottom right corner of your post for more options and do it from there... but I have not tried recently.

I looked into that area last year when we were looking to relocate... Cost's posted are probably about right depending on build quality etc...  The other thing to look at in the Troon area is water... some area's aren't allowing anymore drilling for wells... many, many high, high end homes on hauled water out that way.

The LTR450 was fuel injected back in 2007 I believe... they were forced to stop making them in 2011 I believe due to the EPA saying it didn't meet their standards.  I ripped around on one for a few years.  They can be had fairly reasonably priced even in this market...

Yamaha still makes the YFZ450 that is fuel injected and 404lbs wet.

Unfortunately not much else available new...

Did a number on us these past few days down here in Maricopa/Hidden Valley.

Josh, I admire your thinking and fabrication. The best part to me is that it isn't stamped out in a factory. You must have a talent for sheetmetal work.(aluminium) I suck at it, because I don't have the tools.

Thank you, I am learning sheetmetal as I go with this.  I have been around many that do the work but have never actually done it myself until now.  Lot's to learn about shrinking, stretching etc...  I may have bit off more than I have the talent for on the body panels, but it can always be re-welded or made again (or at least I hope).

that is just like a SxS only bad ass!!!!!  LOL. 

NICE Work!!!

 

Thank you.  Just following the built not bought theme.  90" wheel base and about a 75" track width.  I will probably make my own hood and fenders as well, but since I found some used ones on the cheap it made for an easy visual to design off of.

Some more of the pictures.... I have so many of them... Powered by a Z1000 streetbike motor wiht a RPM FNR gearbox, 930 CV's, Prius power steering, Elka shocks etc....

Here is a project I have been working on... Now that I have relocated to AZ I should be able to get it wrapped up soon.  Pictures aren't in any particular order
