I believe 5 on 5 1/2 x 16 would probably have been Ford truck.

Actually they're 5 on 5.5" and the ones you have appear to be '40-'48 passenger and -'52 pickup.

Am I the only one who sees this all as a joke?

Does anyone reading this think that this is a serious attempt to use this junk as a race car?

Great spirit there.

I'm doing exactly what they did back in the day... with what I have... and you have an issue with it?

I only asked a question.

Go be rude to someone else ok?

And don't call my creation junk.

 

[Stan Back]

Do you really expect to compete with those pieces?  The cars from "back in the day" can't compete today.  This isn't back in the day.  It's over on the HAMB.  Do you have a Rule Book? 

[No13]

It's pretty clear you haven't read this thread.

Time to take a breath guys.... 

I suspect Stan is referring to is the lack of adequate roll structure.  I have been reading and I don't remember how you plan to address that.  CRS or CRAFT... maybe... I would reread the thread but I really don't have time. I think the tank will be a unique challenge to get through tech due to the "we've never seen this done before" and that puts the requirement on you to prove that your vehicle is safe. 
Even USFRA Club racing will require a roll structure for an open car.
Continue having fun

Thanks. I'll assume you're referring to the cage.  Yes, I have plans for one.  I've got a guy here that builds them and has built them for this venue.  He said he'd help me out when I get to that point.

For now, this is just two axles sitting under a tube... and an Idea.

Long way to go.   I know that.

[tauruck]

Keep at 13.

It will start to come to you step by step.

Mike.

See reply #13 and immediately prior comments.

[No13]

Good luck to you all.

[Stainless1]

Kelly, I hope your guy is named McNees or Burkdoll... 
Tim or BJ could probably build you a roll structure that will pass tech. 

[No13]

I haven't asked Tim yet.  But I have many options.

We'll get there.  For now, it's just a tube... sitting on two axles... with a dreamer looking at where he is for under 700 bucks.. in a driveway, no shop, no garage, no snazzy crap.

My question would to you would be if you think this is all a joke and a waste of time, why have you been following along and responding? Let the guy dream and have his fun. So long as SSS doesnt have a problem with his posts, who cares. For some of us, all LSR will be is a dream. If some of us are lucky, we can link up with a team and lend a hand. Just my .02

... and for some of us this is more serious. If you want to run don't build and ask forgiveness, build it like it has to be. Your fun can come later.
