Here's another Formula build. I know your probably tired of these things by now. But what the heck, here you go. First, we have to remember the good 'ol days. Enjoy.

FYRDUDE · 02-15-2005, 10:36 PM

Here's another.

FYRDUDE · 02-15-2005, 10:36 PM

O.K. Gag! That's enough.

FYRDUDE · 02-15-2005, 10:38 PM

Here's why the build has started. Don't ask. All I have to say is it involved a Corona or two, maybe more. Unfortunately I wasn't driving, I was riding shotgun.

FYRDUDE · 02-15-2005, 10:40 PM

The aftermath.

FYRDUDE · 02-15-2005, 10:41 PM

Now it's time to tear it up.

Hammer Hog · 02-15-2005, 10:41 PM

Looks like a Garage Sale

FYRDUDE · 02-15-2005, 10:43 PM

Get some!!!

FYRDUDE · 02-15-2005, 10:44 PM

More lame pics.

FYRDUDE · 02-15-2005, 10:44 PM

Another.

FYRDUDE · 02-15-2005, 10:45 PM

This started to get fun.

FYRDUDE · 02-15-2005, 10:47 PM

Heap!

FYRDUDE · 02-15-2005, 10:48 PM

What's to come.

FYRDUDE · 02-15-2005, 10:49 PM

So purdy.

FYRDUDE · 02-15-2005, 10:51 PM

Frame is stripped and all the holes are welded shut. I'll save you the agony of seeing all those pics.

FYRDUDE · 02-15-2005, 10:53 PM

The hampster is out of the cage.

FYRDUDE · 02-15-2005, 10:54 PM

Relocated the front hanger up into the frame. We'll see how well this works.

FYRDUDE · 02-15-2005, 10:55 PM

Stripped down the rear axle.

FYRDUDE · 02-15-2005, 10:57 PM

AP's rear buggy's. Took a chance on these. Not too much feedback on these yet. I guess we'll find out.

FYRDUDE · 02-15-2005, 10:58 PM

Hangers for the rear inboarded springs.

FYRDUDE · 02-15-2005, 11:00 PM

Rear hanger made. Man I love go-fast holes. The plan is to incorporate just as many go-fast holes as possible. You should see my tooth brush.

FYRDUDE · 02-15-2005, 11:02 PM

With the Johnny Joints. These things may not stay. This could just be temporary. I still haven't decided. It may end up on top of the hanger. Stay tuned.

FYRDUDE · 02-15-2005, 11:05 PM

Hanger mocked in place. I saw on the Hendrix site that the chasis is 152" long. Not that I didn't believe Mike but I measured the chasis with a laser and sure enough 152" exactly. So that's what I cut it down to. Hope this works. As you know tack weld everything.

FYRDUDE · 02-15-2005, 11:06 PM

I'll post up more tomorrow. Can't give it all away right now.
