Nice hair... Thanks!! :lol: :lol: 4k? that was a lot of money back then wasnt it? Yep, you could buy a house and a nice used Packard for that.... :wink: Just kidding. It was a good chunk of change though. I'm hoping my kids are AMA members when they graduate HS too and at least apply for those scho...

resisting urge to post picture!

So I tried it, and must say, its freaking wide. I'm afraid too wide. I don't even know if I should continue with the back end or not.

Very nice looking. I dig the wheel/tire combo. I wouldnt mind doing a sprint car one day. I sure wont do nitro though. I have had my days with nitro cars. I still run my planes on it for some reason.

How awfully wide would it look with a gold pan and t3 arms/shocks? I was eyeballing it, and it would be one wide SOB.

I tried the search, but it wont let me search for t3.

I thought about that, but didn't know how that would look. And I dont really know what all would stay or go until I had it all put together. I guess I could mock it up?

I still have a few holes to fill. And some will need redrilled because of how close they are to other holes. I wanted to see how well it would work first.

I used 1100 rod. I think I might just powdercoat it. If I could anodize the exact color, I would probably go that route.

Thanks guys. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I only wish I had good parts to go on it when its all done!

Good luck man. Hope you get some decent nurses!

I thought I would try my hand at welding a pan. This thing had 4 huge holes in it, and two extra holes. They are gone now. Got them mostly ground down, and need to mill it all flat. I didn't take good before shots like I wanted to, but here is an old picture from the seller. Whatchas think? Ok, I ca...
