i just cut away every thing that was in my way.

I came to the conclusion that my main car will not be ready this season :cry:

So looking at all the parts i had laying around I desided to put this car together for thanks giveing. I am trying not to spend any money on this car. :roll:

my friend just gave me 4 four point seat belts and my other friend is giveing me his class 11 cage he has in a box to start the main cage.

I'm installing my old 1600dp that i used to run. hopefully this will be a quick fun build.

I need to bolt the body Back on the pan. but when i picked up the car they where all missing. Does any on have a set laying around? maybe taken off after doing a body lift. just thought i would ask.

I did paint the rest of the car black.

For the rear discs i went to moore parts asked for the 14mm studs I pressed them in and they cracked my disc . :cry: :cry: .so we are trying to figure out what to do.

By kbwakesk8

any ideas

Wed Oct 15, 2008 1:08 pm

looks good! youve been working hard! good luck on the disc.

Wed Oct 15, 2008 1:43 pm

So talking to some of my friends I decided to take out the studs and use the second set of holes in the disc set up for the 12mm threaded studs.

Wed Oct 15, 2008 2:51 pm

What size holes are you trying to press the studs into?

And those Armstrong Norseman tires aren't such a bad deal. In their day they were the BEST. A buddy of mine has a pair he has put many offroad miles on in recent times, and they keep going. Rocky hills, sand dunes, desert whoops...they keep going and working fine. There was a Class 11 which raced at the Lucerne 250 a couple of weeks ago with a set of 4 Norsemans and did fine. THey finished the race with no flats.
