disco truck.
boss:
that raingie(yellow one) was built by a guy called jez, the full build is on superv8racing.com i think. he built mouse, the yellow "thing" i posted pics of a few days ago. nice bloke.the only 2 discos i have seen with tubular wings is the one on dumper tyres and one that is currently in howling wolf. i haven't been working on the disco for the past few days, been doing a trial at a job in haverhill but I'm not going back....its [!Expletive Deleted!]!
this is a newer photo of the disco.... morealess what I'm aiming for...but different.....
i got alot of work to do! as i keep saying ihave to get my arse in gear and sort some of this out. i need a way of supporting the disco chassis so i can take all 4 wheels and axles off and make them look pretty and so i can work on the wings. may see if i can half inch some off of mark at the farm. also going to look into making my own stuff from now on(trailing arms, cage, bead lock rims looking into PTO winches).....its a nicer feeling at the end of the day.
but at the moment i have no clue! i am playing it by ear, ill have a plan in my head then diversify from it into something else then into something else. it could even end up as a tray back at the end of my sporadic ideas. its not a good thing to do.
may have some more pics for you tomorrow, got the tray welded up, but I'm not sure weather to weld it to the chassis or to bolt it(i don't have a diecont drill at the moment!)
Disco Matt:
I would bolt it on - that way if it gets damaged you can take it off and apply the big hammer. Plus if you think "Hmm, I could have made it better by doing this" in a few months time it'll be much easier to remove it and make way for version 2.0.
boss:
.................its waaaaaaaaaaay past 2.0! so many changes to the plan design and outcome!
boss:
as said, welded some of it together. but not done, need more steel.
i went a bit over board with the welding, am a bit concerned that something will break so there are multiple welds on a HOT setting. itll all get grinded down and made to look nice before it gets put in place for good also need to think of a name for it, a friend came up with Juggernaut....i think because he was watching x-men at the time but i wouldn't know. over all I'm a little lost, i will be back and forth tomorrow measuring and thinking....also looking at What i need from billing ;)
who's going by the way???
anyway
HOT HOT HOT
looking better...i was beginning to have second thoughts about the whole thing!
what ze bloody hell iz zis?
clbarclay:
I should be a Billing for a day, probably saturday but yet decided.
Like wise, I'll be there with a list of parts to obtain. Fortunately its not too long.
