Hey Alou: Go to photobucket and click on the "IMG Code" box and then paste the image into a message on this board, your picture will show up in your post. Otherwise we don't know where to go to look at your pics. Try it, it works very well.
BTW, welcome to the Rupp board!!!

The seat cover is from a top secret source that I cannot name, I agree it is indeed snazzy. Cory the reason you haven't seen it before is it was never supposed to be. It started out as a simple exercise to see if I could widen a bulkhead successfully which for the the most part I did. I then had a deal fall through for a Magnum that I was going to buy. In my search for another magnum I grew tired of people trying to sell me junk or counterfeit parts for top money. I've literally threw out better parts and sleds than people were trying to sell me. I had some parts from a couple of nitros out back that were heading for the scrap yard which were nice compared to what was being offered to me for sale so I started bolting things together jokingly at first. In time I decided to cautiously go forward and try my hand at building a stripped out mod sled using only cheap or free parts. I bought a really low hour '89 A/c jag and used the drive train out of that because it had a 116" skid and track. I got lucky and won a '77 440 nitro motor off flea bay for fair money. I got some Wahl new drag skis for cheap money and fitted everything together. I got curious to see how magnum lowers would fit so I bought some from very used lowers and they fit with some modifications. It's mostly done and I've yard driven it but I still have tons of fit and finish issues. I have countless hours and about $1000 into it which is more than I wanted to invest but as you well know build costs sneak up on you. I'm going to tear down the motor and do some mild porting and head work and a friend of mine offered to build some pipes for it. I don't know what to do with it after that, how could you sell something like that? I don't even know what to call it let alone price it.  Brian |

Got it all together and did a test day. Out of the hole it was like getting hit in the a** with a wrecking ball but it fell on it's face at half track. |
