dune_rat Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Hey Cole, your car is coming along great is it going to be ready for Halloween? I need to find some standard travel cars to go on some runs with.....I can't keep up with the long travels without beatin the hell out of me and my car. I like that new roof, I may have to modify mine now so I don't hit my head on the mirror anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look for the Ford 4 door pickup and my 26ft. toy hauler usually right across from the old host site. I fly a U.S.flag styled wind sock too. Usually a huge Alfa toy hauler with me with a grey/charcol Ford Pickup. Kinda turquoise colored itty bitty rail with an old fat guy driving it!! Goes for you too cole!!! And I always carry a Tow Strap if you do break the motor!!! I also have some shocks that might work on that car that you can have .....so yu can owe me a favor!!! Maybe you can buy my new 2180 so I am forced to put in the subi now!!!! Edited October 16, 2009 by SANDAWG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
