FRANNY-F100, boys first build

[Klaus]

In the spirit of "Show and Tell" vehicles.... can we please bring this thread back into that orbit. It started out very fun and now it's no longer fun for most but a few.

Reading backwards the last few pages...its now about good cops vs. bad cops, vins, and GTA ? All good fun topics...please start a new thread in the Lock-Out or Whatever section.
Thank you.

I would like to stay on topic. Asked moderator to clean up a bit. Otherwise, we will just go to social media. Seems easiest. I am just old school and have a attachment to RDC, but if I get lost in our own thread……

Maybe this is why forums are dying. I won’t mention any the big names and talent that has left here forever

Forums take nurturing beyond AI. Thats why some die and others thrive; especially in the age of AI.

All of the VIN posts have been moved to a new thread. Let's keep this one on topic please.

Truck is looking awesome, made a lot of progress all things considered.

WOW! you guys are still chugging along. The VW looks good too. Nice to see you two are still moving forward. I wonder if you have this running before I get my Speed SxS LOL

Picking up shocks this week! I think the rear bypass has a build date of mid June. Hopefully mounting front shocks this weekend.

Shocks not in!!!!!! OMG. Contacting King. This is insane.

Man that is a disappointment. I ordered just basic 2.0 10” for a buggy and they took 6 month.
Is the reason supply of raw materials or are they that back logged?

From what I hear a combo. But more in that they are building high demand shocks and OEM stuff. Who knows, I’ve heard many reasons.

The OEM stuff has been the worst. Custom, as in not any sort of regular build, race or OEM, supposedly gets built the fastest as it goes through a different line within the company. We have seen some OEM part numbers take +1 year. To me it's not worth it when as good (or better) alternatives exist. Nothing KING is doing is so bitchin' that it's worth the 1 year wait unless you just want to run a KING shock for what I can only describe as mental reasons.

Aloha

I’m still in the mindset that I have over a year invested, so it could be any day? Still crossing fingers

Our Kings took 54 weeks. I'm about 60 years old, so it's not as big a deal as it would have been at 30.
