Projects Border Bandits Gas class builds to the Southeast Gassers rules.

Hey Kip ask Gabriel where his update is? I know he is up to something

 

Good choice on the acid dipped super light body BTW.

 

You mean acid trip, & rust dipped ala "Two Lane Rust Pot". It was easy for Kip to take the floor out, as he beat the roof back up, the floor fell out.

 

What rear end are you gonna use Kip? (Dana 60).

 

Yes sir...I've been thinking of going to a steeper gear though...from 4.10's to either 4.30 or 4:56.

 

I'll bet Capt'n Grape says, "don't be sissy, get the 4.56's"!

 

I seen his top secret UPGRADE on Facebook...he looks to be serious.

 

I too am going to build a set of Moonlighter traction bars since I just destroyed the current set.

 

That 55' will make a great race car. It would not have been good for much else. Love the cragar wheels and tires for the front. If you can have the stance of that first car "Dirty Ole Man" you will have an awesome car. I will enjoy seeing the buildup.

I love the fact that it had license plates too.

 

That is a sweet car. Nice stance and proportions. Interesting hood scoops.

 

I hear you Kip, California frame in the 55, I wish Shannon's (Pale Rider) had had one. They were rare but should be lighter and look a lot better.

 

The work you did on Shannon's car is perfect...I just hope mine is close.

 

Kip and Rusty, Y'all don't be copying my stuff, LOL.

 

Did you just lucky on the California chassis being in the car or did you find it somewhere else.

 

Too late.

 

That's what it came with...and it was made right in Janesville Wisconsin...I've read that the seamless frame was used in other plants too...I don't know why they had two styles...and different bumpers too.

 

5.13s not 4.56s tomarrows no show, lol can't wait too see some of these cars take shape around here

 

YIKES!!!!!!!!

 

Yea all of that big talk all winter and you was the only one show up to run with SEG at the Meltdowns.

 

They're all waiting on parts from a certain Cali supplier...... Lol

 

If y'all are wondering why I have all of this time to talk tonight I,m in Ky at a campground for the night headed to Martin Mi tomorrow.

 

You got that generator full of gas??? Lol

 

I was just picking trying to get them on the ball so they could make our Greer SC race November 7th.

 

Yea I don't wanna be the Lone Ranger , lol

 

Wonder why they called them California frames. The seamless bumpers came on the nomads or did they come on other cars also.

 

I have no idea...they call the one piece bumpers California bumpers too.lol

 

I was curious about this and found this thread.
