Play time is over you M'Fers.

Looks like dry weigh spec on my cart is 536 lbs. With all I've added to it and fully fueled it's probably in the 650-700 lb range.

Great third build, but I'm missing something. What was the little incident that prompted this upgrade?

 

[psfracer]

Third? No, second.

After 2 1/2 years, I lost a rod at the 1,000 foot mark at the SCSN9 in Las Vegas in November. Block ok, crank was not savable, top end ok (already sold heads, intake, carb, rocker arms, valve covers, etc.)

Switched to a Profiler head, so all of that could not be reused anyway.

It is the 3rd!
1. 1st was the one you got into an accident with, the one that I got the build rear end with the detroit locker in it from.
2. Second was this one that lost a rod at the 1,000 foot mark at SCSN9.
3. This is badass build number 3!

Oh ok. I was counting the BBF stuff. Difference is those first two, the car was gone through front to back. This one, its only the engine, everything else is staying the same.

Headers done. Pistons in from Diamond. Going to Oklahoma this weekend to pick up my new 32 foot enclosed trailer. Leaving Thursday evening to pick it up Saturday morning.

Damn! So fast you have Street Outlaw buddies huh?

 

[psfracer]

I know people that know people.......hahaha.

No just going out there to pick up a new trailer as no one in CA could come within $4-$5K of their price, with less features/options. So basically by driving 2600 miles (1300 miles each way) I am saving $6k - $800 in fuel = $5,200. Its a PITA but I think in this case the long drive is worth it.

So will you be making some hits in a couple of weeks?

 

[psfracer]

Probably not till October. I am excited though, this engine is going to be a beast.

 

[stkjock]

you couldn't get it shipped and save yourself 3-4 days on the road?

 

[psfracer]

Yes, but it was expensive. All though time is money, but I have plenty of paid vacation time also, so no big deal. Its fine, going to visit a couple people in OK also.

 

[stkjock]

cool, have fun

Again! What this time?

 

[psfracer]

No same one---I ordered it--it took 10 weeks to build. It was just delivered from the factory. The pics I posted were from the ad on Racing Junk. I will post pics of the actual trailer when I get it.

 

[psfracer]

Had a long weekend, 2640 miles, half easy without trailer, the other half somewhat slower with the trailer. I drove from CA to Oklahoma to pick this thing up. Its nice, bathroom, shower, cabinets, 32 foot, all led lights, 7K 8-lug axles, etc, etc. The nighttime running lights are very small LED lights that are hard to see in the pictures, but they are there and bright. I really like the large amber flasher on the side, so if anyone is in your blind spot and you signal, they will see your are trying to get over. Bunch of small cool details. First brand new trailer I have owned in my life.

 

[Falkinman]

Damn, that's a helluva trailer!

 

[tigerhonaker]

That is one outstanding trailer.

I'm no expert on trailers but I have seen a few over the years and your NEW one is totally awesome.

Congrads !!!
