sanddunesaddict Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 (edited) :worthless_without_pics: :worthless_without_pics: :worthless_without_pics: :smoker: Im not happy am I??? Don is the man...he started this earlier this week and just went on his instincts as far as size....he hit the nail on the head as I fit perfect. Its just a rough shell as you can tell and no rear cage but you get the picture. The nose will be changed and look like the front of 80GRIT'S car or TCS T's tatum nose. I am sure alot of peeps will get more pics for me as they stop by there to check progress on Deannasaurus's car,my car and the other 2 cars he has going on right now also. Here are the Specs New 1.75 size chassis that looks like a Probro but is super sized for me Buick Grand National 3.8 running 20-25PSI for now Albins 5 speed H-pattern dog box ADS outboard hubs with 6 piston calipers and 934's 4 Beard RX1's 2.5 Howe power rack 2.5 coilovers with 2.5 bypass all 4 corners 4 K/C 8" HID's on roof with 2 5" K/CHID's on A pillar and 2 5" K/C HID's on the nose. 2" hollows with 4 piston Kartek hubs all CNC pedals BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH just the typical sand car that has been a 8 year collection of parts so far!!!

AL T Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Yes its confirmed I just got home from SCU. I put a deposit down on my chassis which Don has already started and he already has an order for another big car. I am pretty stoked to say the least.The car will be sweet. Good stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike330R Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Seems long considering he already started but I am not in the loop on build times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanddunesaddict Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 he could have it done in a month and a half but I cant have the money that fast so I told him no rush....he wont let me drag it out too long anyways not that I can wait any longer now!!! He said they will probably be full time on my car end of next month and be able to knock it out then. He also needs to figure out my rear hubs I brought him...he has never used an axle this long and is worried the car will be too wide but he wont know untill he mocks it up.

Mike330R Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Whats the deal with your hubs and why are the axles so long? What length? Why not sell what you have and run what he normally uses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanddunesaddict Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 They are 39" inches long and work with my ADS outboard hubs. I thought about it but new ones are too expensive. He is confident he can use them.If it is a problem we can just get shorter axles or cut mine if its only a couple of inches. We will just have to wait and see. It sucks I cant go check progress every couple weeks like other peeps do in So Cal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanddunesaddict Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 (edited) I got a couple pics of you rollin in Robs car BEFORE AFTER You asked if you look like you fit in that car...What do you think? The before pics yes but the after pic looks like I might have been trying to get out and was sitting down all the way. I fit really well in Robs car I just needed the pedals further out. the width of my car is 1" more than Robs and I think the roof is the same but the side rail is higher I think. MAN I CANT WAIT!!!!!
