The chassis looks to be set up for a Ford 9".   He'll be good....

No need build a sweet little ride with a ton of fab, expensive chassis,, then drop a turd in the engine bay...LOL. 

If he wanted to go stick shift. There are kits to do Honda K series to plentiful Nissan CD009 trans that will handle well in excess of the HP noted prior...

It is like you are reading my mind both engine and trans.

Eff that pee peebag, waste of oxygen.

In Glamis for the last trip of the season.  Dunes are epic but that wind yesterday was tough to ride in.  First morning ride done, waiting for breakfast and then on to morning ride number two.

In the olden days, the media would have had a field day with this.  Now crickets.  Eff em all.

This weekend may or may not be the last trip?  I always seem to squeeze in a May trip, but it is highly weather dependent.

Awesome, good luck with your new to you business!

Still here, I will let you know when it ends.  Going one more time for sure, maybe two if the weather cooperates.

Keep an eye out at County Facilities.  Free Tampon and Maxipad dispensers in men's restrooms.

 

 

So go empty them out when nobody is looking.  Eventually they will get tired of filling them up.  If you get caught, claim those items triggered you.

We just used a bagster as well.  Super easy.

I had a sexual harassment claim filed against me over 20 years ago while I was, wait for it, at freaking sexual harassment training.  Can't make this chit up, LOL.

What the hell are you doing that even puts your keys over the bowl?   

Aerial bombardment...

It really is a sweet little car.  This is an older pic before the double shock conversion, new engine, and new S5.

The one that’s asking $65k with the Subi and S5? 
 

Looking for something cheapish. Doesn’t matter if it’s rough around the edges. Just looking for the great bones of Alumicraft. But honestly interested in looking at any that are forsale. There may be a buyer in our group for it 

Yeah, that one.  I just heard he was selling it, and had not seen it listed anywhere.

What is your budget?  I know a guy with a really nice one.  I think it is 2005.

Love Blakes, and agree on not staying in El Paso.  Get past it into New Mexico.  I had some great BBQ on I-10 many years ago, but I am no help.  Can't remember the name, and I know it was for sure East of Houston.

Damn, I need 1-3/4" Mounts.

What size is the clamp on the mirrors?

How could he not see the truck?  That was stuuuupid!

I don't know, but he had an awesome view of the sky.

I saw pictures of that same car on fire.  Hmmm...

I don’t have the room for a bigger tank (currently 8 gallons (round spun aluminum)) I don’t run out of gas per se, but as soon as I’m down to 2 gallons or so it will grab air on side hills and what not so to enjoy the ride back to camp need to add a gallon or 2 for the lengths of our rides. I’m thinking 2-3 gallon roto pak mounted somewhere?  I do run high air psi. 16lbs. ,love the slide and probably a little easier on the trans. 
 

is there a tank foam/baffle that can be inserted into these tanks (side fill)?

Holley Hydra-mat will get most of the fuel out of most tanks.  I had problems with side hills and turns in my fuel cell until I added one.  They are expensive.

Where are you located?

I don’t think so. I remember that one had doors and I believe bypasses on the front. 
No doors and single front shocks on this one. 
 

BTW when’s your next trip?

It will not be anytime soon.  Long story.
