How much wider than stock? I broke a chunk of fender that then came up and slapped the windshield causing what could be termed as "an explosive bowel movement" . (Probably too much info.) Either way if they're in good shape and 2-3" wider than stock I'll take 'em. (When you drive like I do you can't have enough spare body parts. ask Dan...he knows.) Let me know at your convenience please.

 

Ever since the green race car was wrecked by a woman I now refer to as "Dump Truck" I have been debating fixing versus different tub. I think in your case you're probably going the right way but for me there has been so much development work done to the car I pretty much HAVE to fix it. It has a Milledge built 3.0 Liter in it. Nice. Dans car is a real well, cleanly and professionally done car. It looks even better in person (I hate him!) Good luck with your project!

As for shipping the bicycle frame box should work. Thanks!

 

It's minus 28c here today and with windchill it's equivalent to minus 44c. I'm pretty sure I'm missing a nut but everything is too cold and numb to check let alone dress up like the Michelin Man to go looking for THAT raisin. Merry Christmas is not too early but, up here, it just involves warmth and a complete set of nuts.

Have a good warm season. (i hate you too!)

 

Great idea! Thanks for contributing!

 

I remember thinking as a child when my mother told me about people living in inhospitable parts of the world...'why don't they just move'....sorry, it's all I got.

You guys should be taking video when you're on the track too. There's not enough footage of our cars available to watch.

 

I think I have some crappy video of Lanny blasting past me at the Edmonton Indy in his orange car. I'll try to get that one up.

Lanny what all do you need to get the green car up and running?

 

I pretty much have it all.....a little welding and straighten a frame horn. That car has a very, very stout strut brace on it and so the only thing that bent was the frame horn forward of the p/s wheelwell. I could probably rough straighten it and be fine but we shall see. I'm more committed to that car all the time. I have a new lady in my life who has a maniacal mind set so it would seem like a good idea to fix the green car for round 2 so to speak. I will be at lots of Race City stuff and the Edm. Indy may yet happen. Also Miller is not out of the question either. Maybe give a call when you're thinking of going. We might be able to make it a group effort and I could bring some parts in case you need them. (ha-ha)(I KILL me!) Anyway, Dan, the green car will get fixed and I will be the noisy guy at the race track. Did I ever tell you that Jack Ondrack once told me that" Road Racing is like masturbation........it's fun to do but nobody will pay to come watch." Have a good night.

 

Lanny,

I picked up some bicycle boxes today, I'll get them packed up for you tomorrow.

 

Great! Thanks!!

 

FedEx is a no-go. They want between $600-$750 to ship these to zip code 59484 depending on wether I ship them seperately or together.

Anyone have any ideas on shipping?

Together they measure 70" x 42" x 18" and weigh ~30lbs. Seperately they measure 70" x 42" x 12" and weigh ~15lbs each.

 

Might have to ship them freight or via DHL. I had a large section of the front core support off a 944 shipped to me from Ohio and shipping was about $150 I think.

Hell of a deal though. Wish I had the extra cash for these!

 

I've already tried DHL, unfortunately they no longer ships domestic packages, they are now "international only".

 

Maybe try Estes freight. We used them at my last job a lot and they're one of the cheaper freight companies. Also, some people talk about shipping things via Greyhound bus??

Might post a thread in OT with a link to this to see if anyone has some good ideas!

 

I'll give Estes a try, Greyhound doesn't go anywhere near where these have to go.

Thanks for the help!

 

No problem. Let us know what you find out!
