well I was gonna just do the red

Yea you'd have to do the white too- or it would look weird. like it was wearing a belly shirt

What's wrong with belly shirts?

Congrats on the trophy at CYW this past weekend!

thanks homie, its her first one and she is proud of it even though it was a top 75 I think it was the rear bumper smashed in that really won the judges over

wow I didnt realize its been so long on this one, not much has changed, but Tim did some tubs up front but the BRMs offset dont allow it to utilize the tubs so it will only go so low before hitting the door frame, I did pull the motor from this one to put in my Rivi and put a 1700 100 hp motor in which made the tranny the weak link and had one built for it, still struggling with the rear plates, I had a lot of camber so Tim and Wil took it apart and found the Stockornaut plates were bent and twisted which was causing the camber but it was more toe out and was tearing the rear tires like crazy, so I got a set of Doodles plates from Hank that he had doubled up the thickness and they put them on and I have driven it maybe 50 miles and they seem to be doing the same thing especially on the passenger side with camber and the driver side with toe out, Im alomost at the point to pull the plates and be done with it, it sat a bit higher once I got it back from Tim and now seems to have settled back to the right height but I hate to keep eating up tires.

have you changed your bushings on your arms an plates that could be causeing camber

not yet, Kale said the same, so I guess that will be my first shot before removing them

Lance that is a kick ass bus

having to put this one up for sale

Oh man...
That sucks.

nope, got a bunch of "life" going on, I got alot in it with the suspension, the 100 hp engine and new tranny so I'll prob CL it or Samba, I could take the duals and BRMs off, and put the weber conversion and OG wheels on it to make it a deal

Sorry to see Playmate go. Good luck with the sale.
