San Clemente. Kinda gloomy thus far....

Bump. Not looking for a freebee.....

Looks like I won't make this one, first time in many years. My neighborhood seems like it's going to hell. We have people snooping around yards, possibly entering yards, etc. So next weekend I will be staying home and installing cameras. Sucks, but I gotta do what I gotta do. Eff thieves...... and tweekers....

I wonder how big of a pain it would be to cut this down to a 2 seater......

I've been looking for a chassis, not urgently, but want a 2 seat car...

A buddy of mine is finally dropping an ls in his car, has the engine, trans, flywheel, and torque converter set up. Look for an adapter plate, hopefully someone here has one laying around. 

Thanks!

I remember seeing this car for sale a while back, it's a good looking car, minus the stickers, looks like it would be a fun ride. Why are there so many gauges??? I can't think of that many things that need to be monitored...

Sorry I'm no help, never seen one, or even heard that name before...

WOW!

Douche #2 is Super Douchey with all the lightbars and massive cow-plow front bumper!

 

You should have seen the dude, really thought a lot of himself....... 

So there was a douche parked at the donut shop, and 2 minutes later he pulled out, then douche no. 2 parked the same.....

Post some pics of that set up please. I’ve been contemplating doing the same thing. 

The car is in the garage, I'll get some pics when I load it back up, but I can get some pics of the e track this weekend 

Everything said here is solid advice, I also just bought a fractal trailer last season,  seems solid for the cost. 97" door opening and no cables on the door is super nice touch. E track on the floor is the only way to go in my opinion. I've had it in 3 trailers now. Load the car, figure out where it is going to sit, marke the floor and put the e track under the tires. When the car pulls in the strap goes over the tire. Super easy and fast, and secure. 

The only place I've used is OMF but they are in riverside. 

They do good work, ask for Bones if you call...

Got my ticket for Friday!

@Poule43 I'll buy you a beer if you are going Saturday!....I won't be there.

 

I don't know what the beef is between you 2, but it's hilarious 😆 

I haven't gone in probably 6 or 7 years now, I stopped going cause for me ots a 3 hr drive to see a bunch of sxs stuff, but for some reason, I feel like going this year, sxs or not, still gets me amped for the season..

Man that thing is hideous. But too each their own I guess. Probably weighs 10k now too...

I had one on my last truck, "eff you and you stick figure family "

And it had the typical stick figures, but doing it....

I had one for a few years, a squirt+ with a 3.5 honda and a 2d. That car was an absolute blast. Beat the hell out of it, ran 35x10.5 tires in the dirt. Never let me down. It was definitely a well built car.

Oh dang!! That is bad ass 😎

Looks stout! 

I've used tons of k4 with good results. 

Where are they welded? I can't seem to find it in the pictures?

I've ridden motorcycles on the street for over 20 years, in my opinion, a big wheel bagger is about the worst bike to start on, that being said, my first ride on the street was on a cbr929rr. Talk about a steep learning curve.. 😆 anyways, I've been on a handful of Harleys as well. big wheel baggers handle like chit. Period. For the inexperienced rider they are fine on the open highway, but around town its a whole nuther deal. Emergency turns, or evasive maneuvers suck. I would highly recommend a smaller easier more maneuverable bike for someone with no experience. But if you are dead set on that style, stay outta traffic for a while, learn how to handle that bitch before you are forced to. Also remember, there are 2 types of riders, those that have gone down, and those that will go down. Dress for the slide, not for the ride.

That Nordic the sausage posted would be cool, if it looks as good in person. 

Boat= bust out another thousand 

Ask me how I know 😶

Lemme think....

65 Ford mustang

99 Ford ranger

85 Ford t bird

85 Honda crx

05 Ford f150

02 Ford f250

70 vw bug

87 Porsche 944

77 jeep cj7

19 kia Rio

22 Ford f150

..... I think thats it. Just counting street legal vehicles that were solely mine.

Yes, I'm definitely a Ford guy. The new f150 has exceeded my expectations in every way.

Cracks where the outriggers attach to main frame, seems to be a common issue. Look for signs of delamination if it's a smooth side, and definitely climb on the roof. Look for and soft spots, and the quality of the goop that seals all the seams.

Being your first time, it would be super helpful to take a friend who has already gone down that rabbit hole....

Also, it's easy to judge the overall cleanliness, and condition. You can see if they cared about it or not...
