|
|
I have a sand rail with a fresh rebuilt 1600 dual port nothing fancy in the motor. I have added turning brakes, rebuilt the front end along with the fresh motor. I also have alot of old simi truck lights and CBs that i will throw on in a couple of weeks. Now I am out of ideas of what next fun part to add on. What should I do next. This winter and a ton of cash later I will be getting everything powder coated so I dont want to paint anything. I plan to race her in some races that are coming to town in a couple of months. Im not afraid of any kind of work just running low on things to do. Any ideas would be nice. |

Diamond plate...lots of diamond plate. And dual spoiler wings in the rear...definitely will round out the look. _________________ 62 vert

I interpret Man stuff three ways,,
1. Man as in Mankind?
2. Man as in Marlboro man?
3. Man "stuff" as in Boy George or The Crying Game?
Is the sand rail the one in your gallery? if so, it looks done, I wouldn't add anything. Looks good. |

1st handling, then HP, then a cupholder.
That's all that is needed. (Well for me) |
