Here's what's happening with those axels you brought over from Waggoner's shop last spring, Ken. Jim and I rolled her out into the light of day for the first time yesterday for a trailer trip down to Joe and RJ (Pure Adreneline) Brown's shop for the exhaust work.

I'll try to have her done for the first Cal-Rocks, Kathy, painted hood and all:flipoff2:
But, you will have a definate advantage over me with your knowing your rig so well. I'll probably just flouder around, as usual, having virturally no seat time whats-so-ever in it.

I saw Chris Durham's new ride last night - but I've been sworn to secrecy;)

Last time I tried the camera/pc deal was giving me fits, I'll try to get something soon- does not look much different from last pics, except pieces are painted now. basically a low powered sprint car on Volvo axles.

Should weigh about 250 lbs less than last car, chassis is already 60 lbs lighter.

Go Rock Cat, meeeow! I thought you looked cool on Superlift TV from last year!

Watch out though Jaffer has a right rear wheel that kicks some butt.

Im putting mine together this week:D

OUCH! Can you keep a set of rear tires on your Ford that long???

I saw Chris Durham's new ride last night

ok, now im confused. you guys in oregon and california have seen durhams new rig? doesnt he live in like birdsnest south carolina or some such? or am i just confused?

He's moving to CA, or at least spending most of his time there, working with Dave Knight, Drivetrain direct aquisition.

Chris told me he'd likely have to run his Jeep the first event or two.

I'm surprised his trading in his boots for a pair of sandals. Not sure I want to see his toes.

Hmmm.... 3k miles on the truck already, and i'd say the rear tire's have about 10k :D it's to much fun to drive :D
