  • If it is worth doing!!!!!! Do it in the sand
The Blackbird
« on: February 09, 2009, 03:55:39 PM »
  Has any one of you guy's seen this car.  this thing was on three pages of the October September 2001 Sand Sports mag.  Great engineering and what a choice of rearends. 

  It would be interesting to know if it is still around and running. Ifen I start a new build this would be worth looking at for sure.  What would this beauty be like with a turbo busa in it.  WOW. ;D ;D ;D ;D

  Maybe we can get Master to engineer the sprint car style quick change adaptor. Hint Hint.  ;D ;D ;D

If I believe I cannot do something it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe that I can, then I acquire the ability to do it , even if I didn't have it at the beginning.

Yah bdkw1 has quite a build log at that other place: http://www.minibuggy.net/forum/projects-progress/5073-midi-buggy.html  I asked him to put up some info here, but he says there are no updates.

It is still running around the Silver Lake Sand dunes. I saw it out there this last summer (Pretty sure it was this last year and not one before it.). I think he was trying to sell it. It was driving by and had a for sale sign on it I believe. I might know how to find him if some had some loot and was interested. I do not know how much but if you ask about it on this website:

 http://www.silverlakeforum.com/

You will find those who know him and maybe him himself. 
Your mission isn't to dive feet first into hell, but to make sure its crowded when you get there.
