Yes, thanks a million for all the work you've put into bringing visual and audio coverage to the rest of the world.

Steve.

Just got and email back from the fabricator, Brian Slowe and he does still have it!
Give him a call at 215-535-7780.....He's in Philadelphia.

With this k-frame you will need to use the custom tubular lower control arms as the stock ones will not work.

I was confused...for a minute I thought you were talking about a Smith & Wesson "K- frame".

Steve - I had some face time with Gregg this weekend - kinda' cajoling him into getting on the stick. 

He said the transmission is about ready, but I gently reminded our friend that there are probably other little things he could be doing while waiting . . .

Udo Horn said it quite succinctly - "Every bolt needs to be turned by somebody".  :wink:

I think the smell of race fuel this last weekend may well have been the elixir.   :cheers:

Gregg - Thank you for the Wilmington tour, and your generous friendship.  I had a blast this weekend.

Well, I guess we're making a LOT of progress . . .  :roll:

Started back working in the garage and Rampage last week.
Plan now is to have the underside completed and back as a roller by the end of the month.
I will pickup my trans from over in Zanesville, OH on the way to Wilmington next month.
After the meet is over, I'll take the rotisserie back out to Steve.
Steve, I'll explain when I see you next month!

Chris, It really was a great weekend and I know you had a GREAT time. Again in September?????

Yeah Gregg. BTW audio was sounding good while I was wrenching on Amys camaro. Keep after it.

Peter Jack asked this question earlier today about my truck:

Gregg, we keep really enjoying your pictures but it would be even neater if you didn't get to take many at some point because you were too busy running your truck. How's it coming?  :-D :-D :-D

Pete

And my answer was :

PJ,
It's SO ironic asking about my truck at this time.
Bill Warner's death, back in 07/13, had a profound effect on me and made me take a HARD look at my own mortality.
For the last almost 2 years, when I would I to the garage to work on it, I found that I could not.
Only within the past couple of months could I talk about or even have the desire to work on it but I am back on it.
I feel that doing the pictures and audio has been my contribution to the sport and I REALLY do enjoy doing it!
Enough of a downer.....SORRY!

So to answer your question, I have been working on it and hope to have it off the rotisserie by the end of the month and get that back to Steve. My last major $$$$ is the transmission and hope to have that by the end of the month also.
I would like to have here in September but May 2016 is more realistic.
At least I am working on it again!

Thanks for asking,
Gregg


At least I am working on it again!  :-D

I have a pair of DC Clear Headlamp covers for Rampage, still new in plastic. Original packaging, info sheet and hardware. PN: P4286599. I was about to post on Ebay, once I do, I will post the link. Just seeing if there is still interest in these, everything I've found on the forums are several years old. Thank you.
