I done the financin' and a little bit of work at the beginnin' and the end when I was home. :D

Fro provided labor every weekend. :D

Cheers to Butch for doin' the high-tech stuff and donated a whole s***load of parts and pieces. Couldn't of done it without him. :cheers:

But, By Gawd ..... Josh done showed his true colors on this one folks. The boy wrenches for a livin' then donated his time every weekend to do more of the same. He's one damn talented kid and sure makes us all right proud. :beer: :beer:

And a final thanks to the folks that gave us screamin' deals on parts to make it all happen. :cool:

Hope to see ya'll this weekend.

Holy crap that thing worked frigign excellent at the Ramble. Had some minor issues that were taken care of in camp. Crawled up and over everything we threw at it. Got some good video and pics of it. Fro went from driving a stock Heep at the Roundup to wheeling the crap out of this thing.

I had a Downey aluminum one, it fits on the Motorcraft just like the Holley........guess it was too bling for them to document with a picture......yes I took it up a really nasty hill, had a couple of 3ft ledges near the top and never had to touch the gas or clutch, pretty sweet for a thrown together rig......

For all you folks that heard that Gawd-awful noise from the engine at the Ramble ....

Fro done yanked the engine out and took 'er apart. Found the main bearin's were bad. Ordered new ones and gettin' the crank turned.

She'll be ready to roll again for ICBM. :grinpimp:

:flamingo:
 
Here's a much awaited update for all you Beater fans out there ...

Fro done got the mighty "F" slapped back together with some new parts and pieces and claims he's gonna stab 'er back in next weekend ....

lookin' good for raisin' hell at ICBM. :bounce: :bounce:
