I have to keep in the "cool" scene I have a v8, light rack, kings, now all I need is 3-link j/k Since we sold the ranger, we had a couple extra dollars lying around and we figured...why not blow it on the mobber? It was bound to happen sooner or later.

Ya, you should check it out. *It looks A LOT different now, than it did a month or two ago

dear mr. richer, let's hear some spec on what is next for the red machine? are you going out to the shoot out? lat Whitey.

What up Whitey!!!!! *Unfotrunately I won't be able to make it out to the shootout. *The truck should be back and running towards the end of June. *I won't have much time to work on it in May due to work on customers trucks. *I can't really disclose any info about the specs, it'll have to be a surprise * Feel free to stop by the shop and check it out if you want.

How come you're not coming out to the shootout? I thought you'd be there for sure.

Jesse, you know how "this shop" works. I will be lucky if its 2007

A few updates pics on Jeremys truck before we went testing. Here's the plate the fuel cell sits on that keeps it from moving around. It uses all the buzz words ... plate .... dimple dies ... cutouts.

yup... sure have. i'll take it off when i remove my body lift

New updates on the car. If I get my Walker Evan's wheels by next friday it'll be somewhat done on the fabrication work for now. Starting on the dash right now and just need to do all the aluminum work, firewall, floor, and skidplates.

damn ryan...looking very nice!

Looks bitchen, can't wait to see it finished!

what does a "floater rear end" mean? sorry if its a noob question.

Steve truck is looking great!

Ryan Car looks like crap~! lol jk

Ryan love the bug!!! Looks fucken awsome! Cant wait to see it done!

What Engine and tranny are you gunna drop in there?

full floating rear : axle construction which relieves the wheel shafts of cornering forces as well as the weight of the vehicle, so that it only has to cope with the torque from the rear differential. It also means the wheel shafts can be removed without removing the wheels.

Thanks guys for the complements, i'll keep you guys updated and our test times as well and make a trip out of it.

As far as the motor and tranny goes, right now I am going with a type 1 2386cc with a single weber 48 IDF, dynoed around 165-170hp and an 091 built transmission. I need to learn to drive the car with the hp and as much travel it has before I go any faster.

In the off season a type 4 2900cc fuel injected motor and a Mendeola S4 will be dropped in, already being worked on.

Ryan what sort of color scheme are you looking at? The car has come a long way, looking good man.
-dave

Good choice Ryan still be sure to stop by our pit at the MORE race. We are switching to a 2900cc type 4 also. We are already injected and have one of those Mendeolas I forgot wich one it was. Trust me with that big type 4 u are gonna haul ass!

Dave, I am going with a Fire Engine Red, as bright as I can get it with a Metallic gray striping like the color of my chevy. We might end up going to a corvette body and leaving the one shown for driving around town lol testing, and long runs.

I will stop by for sure at the MORE race Ryan, looking forward to it. the 2900cc type 4 is a bitchen motor, enough top end a low end torque to throw you back in your seat. With fuel injection you'll get a tad over 300hp, plenty for a car weighing 2500lbs. lol

oh man what a typo lol

corvette = convertable

I was going to say... Sounds cool. When is it supposed to be done?
-dave

lol i was gonna say , how cool would that b to have a corvette that has what, 15 in. of travel in the front lol and beat the hell out of it out in the dez lol. -eric

ryan, what color is the chassis goin to be painted? and when you say it will be done by next fri, does that mean torn down and painted and put back together by then? if so thats freakin awesome. tell them boys to keep up the good work

wes

Chassis is going to be left bare and needs to be, because once a year the chassis needs to be magnifluxed to check for cracks, as well as every other race the spindles, arms(front and rear) will be done.

What I mean by next friday is everything will be done minus wiring, plumbing, paint, and full prep. Give me another 2-3 weeks for turn key ready to rock.

Finally got a chance to see Jeremys ranger in person tonight, the pics on the site do it no justice the work on it looks great, should do great at the shootout.
