Ginger Libertard is working booty on it.

Lots of **** I guess. Current project is the frontend, new designed arms cut out of chromo and getting welded, then off early next week to SoCal for heat treat.
I just keep buying parts and having them shipped to the desert oasis.

Helluva a week. I flew to Portland on Thursday morning, supposed to return on Friday am. My meeting there ended a few hours earlier, so I switched flights, flew to Vegas and drove down to Needles, CA worked the morning from our power plant in Mojave Valley then pushed on to Lake Havasu to see Rick. Then flew home last night.

Trick Toys is killing it. Rick and his crew have made serious progress but still a long ways from done.
It gave us a good chance to go over some fitament, some placement, and alot of whats left and needed. Got a laundry list of stuff to blow a charge card up with. Luckily though the only BIG ticket item left is the front chunk from Currie.

I didnt really take any pics as it just looks like the same ol' jungle gym, just with a lot more brackets/tabs and **** done on it.

We did cycle the front, so that all of us are on the same page for steering and travel. The front has more travel than everybody but Nick Nelson but he's 96" wide, this car is 91".
So now the question, and I even talked with Kelly about it after I got off the plane last night. Travel or steering???

no matter the choice, lucky its something we can easily change with limiting straps.

Thoughts on what the minimum steering angle any of you guys would want to live with?

Since I have no clue about ifs I have no comment on the question asked, but will say I see the winch made it!

InDaShop · Jun 1, 2013

It did! Thank you for the help on that part. We played with mounting for it, and it may endup being mounted vertically...
will depend on the finally steering shaft mounting and where that passes by the winch on the way to the steering rack.

I can probably get it back if you really want it.
