Picking up some used 6" flare rear glass in the next few days. The list of parts in the garage or on order is piling up fast lol.

Hey carlover -- by any chance, were you driving or co-driving at the BAP over the weekend?

 

[carlover]

Nope i couldnt make it out there. But a buddy was racing his 1st gen green explorer out there.

Ah ok, I just saw your name come up a few times on one of DR's BAP threads and thought it was you (obviously it wasnt). Yeah I saw pics of that green 1st gen -- looked bad ass.

Yeah it's a bad machine. Too bad a mid air collision and broken motor/trans mounts ended his day early. I was supposed to go pit for him but couldnt make it.

That thing's for sale isn't it? Someone on here should buy it

 

[carlover]

Yeah it's for sale. 25k, which is alot of money for people right now. But you get a tried and proven race truck that you could do well in.

 

[mounty71]

So when's the glass getting mounted? Or will you wait till the front's done too.

 

[carlover]

gonna do it all at once hopefully on the weekend of march 7th and 8th....

[carlover]

Ill dig it up for you. Im not sure he's selling it anymore, but i will find out.

 

[carlover]

No more link, he decided he's keeping it for now.

 

[Dannyboy]

I know the feeling. Thought it would be cool to check out another truck.

Soooo are you running around like a little school girl waiting for March 8th?

 

[carlover]

LOL yep. Gotta run all over socal on monday to pick up parts. The worst part is gonna be cutting off all the stuff that was put on no more than 6 months ago.

Ill see if i can get some pics of the race expo. Its a pretty nice truck, it's all Mcneil built.

 

[carlover]

[carlover]

got the front glass mounted today...

 

[RockRanger]

White fenders and a green explorer. Yup looks just like a IE pre runner now

 

[carlover]

LOL yeah wont be white for long. i gotta find a good place to get the factory color paint and then paint them.

 

[mounty71]

Those fenders look awesome, they don't even look too huge with the current setup. You need a better camera though.

 

[carlover]

cell phone cameras suck lol. and yeah it looks ok with what i have, but they will be filled nicely in 2 weeks.....
