How many hours of driving are you going to have to drive to make it? Have to give you an award for the longest drive maybe. The Wild kids |

I am fixing oil leaks as well. Have the motor out at the moment installing a rear main seal. I hope that takes care of it or I will have a very busy weekend ahead. |

I agree about the fugitive frames. I've always thought they were the sleekest looking factory made frame out there! Dont have one, but I think they are sharp looking! Larrry |

there is a buggy shop in kansas that has some good lookin frames too.. they call it the chop top frames, but you almost have to be a midget to get into them.. sharpshooter, i remember bobby telling me he bought that frame from you, i forgot what it looked like, i have a dvd from summertown and i put it in the video player today at work (bass pro) and i saw it today, it looks alot like mine.. i have to say you and everyone on that video are famous, theres always a crowd of people watching it! |

I chopped the top off mine and added to it so I could use the poly seats instead of the fiberglass lay back seats. You will see it at D&K in a week. Can't wait to go. The Wild Kids |

I put a rear main seal in my motor the other night and put the motor back in and it was still leaking. I thought that's what it was but after pulling it back out and inspecting it again, I realized it is the cam plug leaking. I have never had one of my motors do this but the cam plug is actually loose enough that I can spin it in the case. I really do not have the time to tear it down to fix it right. It's to close to D&K for that. SO........I took a hammer and a screwdriver and peened it in 4 places to keep it from turning, cleaned everything really well and siliconed the hell out of it. It's a temporary fix but it will get me through the weekend. Getting ready to head out there and stick the motor back in and button everything back up. I will wait till the middle of the summer before I tear the motor down. I usually don't do much riding in the middle of the summer. It's to damn hot. I usually ride most of the winter and do my work on the buggy in the summer in the garage with the AC on. After the Wellsville trip in June, that will probably be it for riding until the end of the summer. That will give me time to freshen up the motor and re-seal it. When I do all of that I will go ahead and install my twin throttle body EFI system. Looking forward to next weekend! I'm almost ready. |

I am going to get mine loaded up this weekend. I have to work in Indy all week so when I get home I can hookup and head out. She seems to be running pretty good right now. Look for me I'll be there early saturday morning. I am very excited. Hard to believe we have groups coming from as far as Oklahoma!! I can't wait to meet alot of people and take alot of pictures. Brett and I will be camped near Roy. Come look us up. Dean |

It's been a year and a half since I have been there but he has a gas pump right there in the park. There is a gas station right down the road though. Not far at all. You may want to get it beforehand. I have a spare king pin pittman arm I can bring. You still running the small taper tie rod ends from a king pin? You sure it's not a ball joint pittman arm? I have both I think. R |
