    Re: Poorguys Twin Things

    Ok, here is where I was at with mine as of Weds or Thursday morning dont remember,

    Now, after some coffee and soda and soda.




    One more soda.................

    oh jump over here and through some door bars in

    .....back over here and.......

    and this is where it sits tonight.......

    Now I need some ideas for the roof bars and yea or nea on the cattle bars since it is not a race car. Looking at making a shock tower for this one and using some more triangulation in the front. I do like easy firewalls though.

    Here is the shock mount on the first one.

    Well, had a major upset and recovery. Freaking thieves. Anyway, I have taken some drastic measures to hinder such a incident again. It side tracked me a while before I could work again. Here is where I am at now since perfect race is making headway. Version 1.0 is off to its own house now and 2.0 is pretty much my focus now. Other than some finish details common to both cars.

    Re: Poorguys Twin Things

    Well, I consider DesertGuy a buddy but he has influenced my "play car" to end up looking like something a bit different. And would a real buddy do that? Next up is finish shock mounts, bumps and fenders. Kinda jumping all over since I'm not independently wealthy.

    Re: Poorguys Twin Things

    Looking for info on fabricated shifters. If I recall, the pivot points were up from shift tube 1", and 2".25 drop?

    Re: Poorguys Twin Things

    Looking good! I built my own shifter there are pictures of it on pg 11 of my Thing thread. Heim shifters work very smooth. My car is at my buddies getting aluminum work done. I can get you a couple measurements but it will be a while till I get back out there.

    Thank you! And I am obviously not on a deadline, so that would be cool. Trying to make as much as I can to one day buy the Mendi it's looking like its going to need!
