I have come a ways since I started this blog. It amazes me how much can be done with little at hand other than a good attitude and a willingness to see things through. I owe so much to the many good folks who have helped me along the way. This shop is a collection of so many generous gifts, labors and loves. In this picture I see a two post lift from Mikey at West Side Auto, A staircase built by Frank, a welding bottle cart from Clint Donohue who once drove a Porsche off the top of Pikes Peak.... And so many other things that I have scrounged from trash cans or have been gifted. Cheers to the Gods of Speed.
Custom length axles are not cheap but VW bus axles on Ebay are so I cut some and made them what length I want. If they break at least I'll know why.
The Porsche trans axle flanges are actually 3/8 thread so in order to use the needed 8mm bolts I just slapped some helicoils in 'em. No drilling even needed. Will it hold up? We shall see...
Yes, some old Yamaha dirtbike shocks from my hoard piles.
Drove out to Colorado Springs with Nova for the CHCA awards banquet. We took the Geo Tracker to make it an adventure.
I have not made it to the banquet in many years but I figured I should since I won two class championships. The Super Sprint championship means a lot to me with the Hayabusa Homebrew car. Even Gary got a trophy in the motorcycle class. Pretty badass with his drum brake air cooled XL350.
I made some new T-shirts. Things are getting out of hand here in the desert so I feel the need to preach a bit.
