Re: Re: Project Wimpykid

Good weather....good people....we all drove on the trailer. Good day!

I'm uploading some vids now...

Maybe next ride I'll get to go with you guys

yea mine didnt like 4th gear rev control... :****: need more boost lol

Gonna finish the tube work today then it's just the small stuff and paint.

Gonna weigh everything we took off and get a final weight loss this week.

Got some new coilovers today ;D Seat tubes are in, tubes for fuel cell, and cross bracing behind seats. The little things really add up.

Getting finish welding done and coilovers, fuel cell, and seats mounted in the next couple days. Then it's ready for painting. More pics will come tomorrow and Wednesday. May actually make for a ride in a couple weeks

Almost complete

Well...what looks good on paper doesn't always look right when it's built. You got a good eye and some skills beind the bender! I bet Mike's gonna love those coilovers, too!

Michael was the creator of this thing for sure and yea there may be some weird tube placement or bends that are weird but it worked out and he was happy with the changes. There's still a little bit to do with seat and fuel cell mounting an braceing up coilover mounts but this is what it is for now.

The coilovers are gonna be nice. Can't wait to give it a beating
