Not a bad price for what it is.

Looks like one of Yoshi's first gen rails.  I remember he used that picture with the lighted whips on his front webb page for a while back when.   No sheet metal on the sides up front and I think he has since changed the looks of the back end and fuel tank placement.  Still a good buy at the price.  i told Sylvia that would make a good Waynoka car for us. Well you know what I got from that

I see Fabr is not commenting.

Fabr will comment, he just ain't out of bed yet.

But it and let the trash talking begin.

fast goes with mrs fast's no on this one lol yoshi does do some nice finish work but looks incomplete compared to his others and i believe he makes a stout chassis but a damn heavy chassis! after all these years of building i have had 3 of the 22 turnkey rails i have built come up for sale used. i have tried bike engines from 900 ninja to the turbo busa now. def want a rail under 1100 lbs and all my first gen were under 900 lbs wet and it does make a huge diff.  with your shop you could build a new one for less than he is asking.

d walker he did make a comment on glamis dunes  some might think it may hurt the sell but it actually should help it.  my current mini ( midi) either needs to go on a diet at 1300lbs wet or more tq!! lol

That car is the fugliest thing I have ever seen. I drove by his shop last week,we have a vendor about a block from him. I saw that smart car project still sitting about 20 feet in the air on a rack. I saw what appeared to be his first car sitting on the roof of the building. I saw a SXS unfinished sitting in the air on a rack. I also saw evidence of his storm shelter business but little sign of him still building the best sand car    ever designed.





Edit to say ,ALL of his cars are the ugliest sand cars ever built.

with the full skin they do look better but (i'm a little biased) i have never been a big fan of the look either as a stripped down chassis or fully skinned. he does do some nice finish work though. the frame just looks to me like a frame stacked on top of another frame but hey that's just me. like i said i think he builds a stout frame be it a heavy one but still. there is only 1 reverse box build that i know of that has proved to be reliable but other than that i don't know of one.

I have never said otherwise concerning his workmanship.
