That looks really good, minus that fix or repair daily emblem on the front. It's a rail we all know they're fix or repair daily without telling everyone.🤣

Seriously though, that's looking very nice.  The orange and blue look sweet together. Nice looking car. 😎👍

Been a bit and i owe you some completed pics of the second car we converted. It turned out great and we definitely love having another one of these converted.

So i had a mis-hap with mine over the weekend and am in need of a part. Loaded it up on the trailer and long story short it rolled off the trailer and caught when it came off and turned the front wheels a bit farther than intended with some force...  5: 5:
Good thing is only a tie rod was damaged and bent, everything else is OK. Where can I get a replacement tie rod? I shot Sand Parts and message to see if they had any, hoping to hear back this morning when they open. But i figured this would be a great spot to ask as well.

Thanks in advance

Speedway motors, jegs, summit or any place like them. Its a 23.5" Swedged aluminum tie rod. 6061 aluminum and commonly sold as radius rods for mini sprints.  $15 each at speedway for the 5/8" fine.

I am happy to hear thats all that happend coming off a trailer.

Perfect.  Thank you gentlemen.
Its a pretty sturdy design!!  :)

Probably should mention the trailer wasn't moving! Although came from a ways down it. We built a trailer that we haul all three of our rails on. It was in the middle spot and rolled back down and off so it went a ways and had some speed up. Couple more feet and it would have made it, wheel turned and off she went and it turned further than it could when the wheel caught. A-arms all look good, thankfully.

Guess thats what happens when you blow the trans to pieces and then think you can put it in gear while you strap it down... 5: 5: 5:
Yeah, bad day, i get to fix a trans to!  (at Grim Reaper; thats what that "fix or repair daily" power will do! LOL)  :m

I get them from speedway motors. Its a 30 min drive for myself. I have personally bent 2 myself. One from I believe a stump in the trails and the other was in a collision. I carry a spare just because. Speedway offers them in steel but I like the aluminum and they hold up well for the majority. A heavier wall version would be nice.

This one was just a stock 3 rib. Beat on it last summer and this one then stupidly pulled a holeshot and she said...no thank you. I have another i will put in to finish out the season then over the winter see about having one built.
