Going to need a pikes peak wing on that mini truck.

 

but in all seriousness these were super popular in the 80's , it was made by a place called RoadHawk in Texas and called the Texas Tail :

 

Shoot Ram had the daytona edition like 15 years ago.

 

10lbs of shi in a 5lbs bag…interested to how you made this fit in that bay

 

Cocaine is a hell of a drug! Haha but joking aside that thing looks to me as if Carroll himself got drunk and went full hog on the aero kit! I like changes but I prefer subtle things myself..I prefer to blend in but that’s just me.

 

Here are some pics of the setup so far, getting pretty close now.

 

So cool!! Thanks Jason for the pics

 

No problem, I have been threatening long enough at this point since I tend to rarely post much these days, I spend way too much time working the wife says!!
But I am very fortunate that she understands how I operate, and fully gets my workaholic way of life/thinking..
But as I said before, those details can cause a problem I like to call it "analysis/paralysis" when doing really intricate builds like this one but since this in not my first rodeo I'll make sur it turns out as planned, or at least that's what my brain is telling me. But it is not easy to overthink everything and making things more difficult to a fault, but that is normal for me.
But its coming along nicely, should be a really fun truck to steal people's soul's!
The looks I get when I pull away from a car that is supposedly "fast" puts a smile on my fact that cannot be disguised, lol!

Now I need to build my air/oil separator and weld on all the fittings to the valley/valve covers and plumb it (I have all the material and fittings) as well as complete the fuel system using all PTFE hose and A/N fittings specifically for that type of hose, it gets expensive pretty darn quick when planning on running E85 but that's just how it goes!


Ok enough posting for now, gotta go work again, no rest for the wicked as they say. If I could only have a clone of myself already preloaded with my current knowledge, boy wouldn't that be nice!!

 

Did you guys see the Trestles out in Ocotillo Wells after that big rain a while back??
Well if not here ya go, some before and after pics for your viewing pleasure.

 

thats gnarly!

 

Have new tires. New wheels with bead locks. Need a good place that will mount, balance and put onto the truck. Any recommendations?

Thanks!

 

The Truck Shop in Miramar is always a solid place to go.

 

seconded, i've always been happy with the work they've done

 

I third that as well. They did my lift and had general upkeep done there for my 2nd gen. Reasonable prices for the work they do.

 

Anyone in the market for a mountain bike? Just listed my Orbea for sale.

Yup. James is a good guy too, they've done everything from recovering my truck back to great condition after destroying it in the desert, cab chop, electrical installs, headunit repair, lower bedlining of the door, alignments, installing suspension components, armor, bumpers, winch, etc.

I don't think I've brought them any project they couldn't do yet, except frame straightening which they had to outsource.

 

Recently had them install new LCA's alignment and re-boot my Driver-side CV joint, Fast turnaround and solid work.

 

My friend needs to replace some O2 sensors on his 5 series BMW, does anyone have a lift or a flat floor jack for a street car? It’s around a hour job and we got the rest of the tools

 

I've got a flat jack that works for my 325i so hit me up if you still need one
