I stepped over to the dark side...

#1 Post by Hitchcock » Sun Feb 05, 2012 8:12 am

Yup, i bought a N.O.S. Sporstman Fogger this weekend. Its a used kit, I will have the solenoids completely rebuilt, and new plumbing on it before I use it. With my set up, I will most likely stay very sonserative with the tune up and stick with the 150 jtes for a while. See if I can get somewhere near bottom 9's. If I'm lucky. :mrgreen:

Nope, its still locked down in chassis shop prison. I'm pretty well stuck until Kevin gets it done so I can get it back here and thrash on it to do the final assembley stuff. As far as parts, I need a drive shaft (which I can get until he sets up the rear end geometry) and rear springs for the shocks (which I cant get until he finishes the car so I can get it weighed on a 4 corner scale)
And I have to plumb the fuel and brakes. Which I could do, because I have pretty much everything but the fuel cell (which Kevin is building...eventually) But I have tried to haul my stuff over there to work on it, but I'm to impatient to try and work out of someones elses shop. It just sucks to work on your stuff somewhere else. I know where all my tools are, it does not matter if I make a mess in my garage. Things like that. And right now his shop is jam packed. I think he could easily double his square footage, just to organize. But thats what happens with any growing business.

Luckily I never ran into Chassis Shop Jail, Riffel got my stuff done pretty darn quick. But the paint shop, that's a whole different story.

Hope you can get it out and make some passes this year. I know how discouraging it can be waiting on stuff.
