Thinking of just finding a garage, and hiding a bed in the corner!
 ;D

Yea; Hopefully the new digs will have a garage. Right now I'm having a bit of trouble just finding a place. I would like to find something on the East end of town that is affordable. Both my jobs are out on that side of town. I live Downtown right now. In the winter weather, makes it hard to ride my scooter back and forth. Walking 5 miles to, and from, work in the sub zero weather is Not my idea of a good time!

Anyone here have a tube bender that has time to bend up some 1.25" tubing? Just need 2 simple "U" shapes for the rear hoops on my trike project. Send me a PM if you can help out.

Still haven't found a new place yet. But haven't quit looking.

Received my Stiletto rack and pinion unit from Scott (Twenty8). Looks almost new! Going to be very quick on the steering! Also picked up my brake bias bar adjuster. Brake hats, rotors, and calipers are next on my list.
Things are still coming along.

 Bought the crossmember/ shock towers off eBay yesterday.

Nice find Steve.  Good idea, much easier than creating your own.
If it isn't fun, why are you doing it?

Hi Mike.
 FFMedic (Joe) sent me all the measurements when I was planning to build my own.
I don't know what these sell for, as I did not find this part on the 600 site; But I didn't think $51 ($82 w/ shipping) was too bad. I'm sure it would cost at least that to build it.
 I also picked up some more braided line for my brake system. I think I have what I need to complete my brake plumbing for both the car and the trike.
I am collecting the braided lines for my fuel system now. I have most of that worked out. Just have to pick up a few fittings, and figure out how I am going to connect it all up to the engine.

Looking forward to seeing how the car turns out.  Being in a spec series like legends cars makes life a little easier, but it's fun to see some creativity.

Looks like you can only get it from 600 with the full front clip... Good find.

Thanks Guys,
 The whole front clip was all I could find on 600 racing, and I didn't need the whole thing. It should work out good.
I hope that I don't have to make any modifications to it. With the measurements that Joe sent me, everything should be ok.

 Got my shock towers today! Looks like I might need to grind just a bit (1/16th of an inch) from the insides to fit my frame. It should work out though.

or squeeze the frame a teeny bit?
