Robby\'s new TT

I've heard talk of a new truck here's some proof!
Trophy Truck
Anybody know who does the fabricating/design/engineering. Is this at his Anaheim shop? I talked to Roger? I think at his shop a while ago and he made it sound as if the sand/offroad cars were being built at another shop or building. Is the same crew building the cars as his TT, I'd think it not as cars are more "production" .

Pretty cool as the front bulkheads/pivot boxes are built first--I'd guess these are the only important known points to start with.

they better haul ass and get some tubing cut. The B1K is 5 short months away. At this rate the paint will still be drying when they pulll up to the Ensenada Convention Center.

Apparently He is supposed to incorperate some nascar technology into this truck such as aerodynamics, windows, etc.

Re: Robby\'s new TT

the sandcars are built at the same shop but a different crew work on those. when i was at the shop a couple weeks ago all that was done on the truck arms. they still have a lot of work to do in order to have the trucks done. they are suppose to be building 3 trucks im pretty sure. the sandcars are cool because they can use a ranger windsheild.

Re: Robby\'s new TT

Is it possible to do a "skunkz" feature on the trucks? It seems as though Robby is pretty friendly and wouldn't mind letting us see the progression!

Re: Robby\'s new TT

Photo's were updated.HERE

Looks as if there are only presently working on one truck,but there are two different cars.One you can see with the windshield w/tubular a-arms the other has the same arms as the truck. Looks as if there are 6 sets of upper and lower arms also. Prerunner cars with R.G.shocks gonna double as spare parts cars?--Pretty awesome looking monocoque/boxed sheetmetal main frame structure.
