Re: Company Trucks
Quote:
Did you say if you were going to drive the rear wheels or front with the engine? I've considered doing the front wheel. I have a blueprinted, roller bearing, .030 over 5hp Briggs in my garage from my kart racing days. It's an old Uncle Frank's engine. During the last freshening, it dyno'd 10.5 horse at 6600 rpms. Top speed on the banked 1/8th mile I raced was just about 70 mph. It would be too much motor to drive the rear wheels - it would just spin the PVC tubes - and I think it might be too much for the front wheel, too. If it turned a 12" wheel to 70, think how fast it would turn a 20" wheel! I'd best be wearing full leathers and a full face helmet.

Re: Company Trucks
Thanks. Nates doing all the heavy lifting. LOL. Everything I have from Porterbuilt has been top notch. I just hope I can do his hard work justice when it comes time for my part.

Re: Company Trucks
All right as many of you know SEMA is fast approaching. Nate and the guys at Poterbuilt have been putting in the overtime and still managed to put some time in on the beaters. Looking good.

Re: Company Trucks
Thanks man. Nate and his crew look to be putting some good thought into the package. Stoked to see both trucks come together.
On a side note, you seem to have rocked SEMA. Tootsie is all over the web. It's a really clean and masterful piece. You know how to build to the next level. Hope to see it in person someday soon. Congrats on the truck but more than that glad to hear about your mom. |

Re: Company Trucks
Well sorry for not updating in a timely manner. However Nate and the guys at Porterbuilt have been working hard and sent over a few progress pictures. I'm starting to get excited now seeing how far along things are getting. Fully welded front clip with those beautiful Porterbuilt welds. Oh yea.

The Drift-Trike looks like it will be pretty insane! Keep up the good work on the Trike N Trucks!

Re: Company Trucks
69CST-V, I can not wait to see it with all the suspension hanging on it, and it being a roller. Very, very nice.
