Been figuring out what do I really want to do with Papa Smurf next? How about drive across the country and go racing 
DO IT!!
If you do that, you mine as well go to Pismo, Glamis, and Dumont.
And Little Sahara(sand MTN) and St Anthony.

It's funny how they have money signs when you don't take that expensive ferry, it's likely the most expensive toll in the continental US.
Let me know when you race chances are we will be racing and we can share pit and support.

If you for some reason take the I-80 route through Iowa give me a holler I’d love to get to check out the truck! Or if you for some reason need assistance as I’m not too far off the interstate

Driving the southern route will bring you right into my front yard.
Racing is in the works! Once I know for sure if it’s happening I’ll start a thread to talk more about that. Regardless my truck needs some things to be legal to race anyways. With spring around the corner time to get some stuff done.
Machined some headlight brackets and @Deuling burned me some slotted tabs for alignment. Then I cut some plate bed side supports and dimpled them. Too bad they will mainly be hidden.

Love it!
Way cool. You and Adam make a hell of a team.
This thread is so satisfying, you don't disappoint!
If you need some help with the rules etc let me know.
Looking good on the mounts and the lights.. I need me some dimples..
Hey thanks! I’ve read the rule book twice now and a buddy of mine who co drives a 1450 truck and then a few 450 drivers have helped clear some things up for me. Rules are all very different depending on what series and race your racing. Lots of info out there.
Definitely, this would be super rad in 1450, seems like everyone is going vintage and you went vintage before they did..
Take the I80 route!
Still plucking away. Getting second bed side in place so I can line up the back and make mounts. Still need to cut wheel wells and flare yet.
