railmans build thread....


and yes, we will be there.....and my truck too... if all goes well on the RTI ramp this week...

Good deal. I'll plan on goin as well. It'll be fun draggin you guys through my neck of the woods.

Just a day trip or what are you guys' plans? I'll probably get there around 9:30a their time (eastern time zone). Hope to have the tube doors on and wheelin around 10a.

originally that was my plan....D44 beams with D50/60 outers....

but, this smokin' deal on the King Pin 60 came along....so was a no brainer....

Yup. probally the same as id do lol i just wanna try and be different
 
Its an 86' with a 429 swapped in, I am trying to figure out what springs to use, I want it low and flexy
 
:worthless:

How was the trip? Come on, lets see this beast in action.
 
I failed to get any pics of him. I suck. From what I saw/heard it did fairly well. Still has a couple bugs to work out but I'll let him touch on that.
 
ok.....first lets discuss the bugs.....

front driveshaft turns out to be too short....even with a limiting strap....

came apart twice on Saturday.....but was able to slip it back together and continue to wheel....

then on Sunday I was able to wheel all morning til in "The Quarry" I actually broke the ears off of the front shaft.....

over-all for a first trip I think she did very well...

and here is one pic of her on the trail....

I love the stance too. After he gets it dialed in I'm sure it will perform very well.
