2016 - Joe-405 "Mini Me Racer"

[bob58o]

I almost feel bad. Scratch that. I DO feel bad! I feel that that nothing has gone right since sending the small block away. I feel your pain.



But carry on!

 

[Joe-405]

I am 99% sure that this adapter plate is gonna be worth more than the whole bike. I just took the whole thing to my dads best friends machine shop for a good look over..............

After its all done guaranteed i will never ever post a pic of it off the bike ! Minichopperssocal told me hes never seen anybody put a big block in a nitro 44 chassis yet. So everybody else can pay me for my troubles and adapter plates if they want one !!!

 

[chancer]

I am sure you would do it for us. lol
But yeah good point. It is fun to be on the cutting edge.

I think there was a guy a while back ( less than a year) that was producing and selling the big block plates... If I had the time I would look for you.

Hope all works out - I hate road blocks interrupting the building process.

I'd do it for free if you provided material lol. Too bad you don't know someone cool that would just cut and reweld it for ya.

 

[Joe-405]

It's already mounted but thanks for the offer. Made out of 6061 aluminum plate.........

 

[chancer]

Glad you got this worked out.
So I imagine you still can't get you Dad off the Barstool Racer. (doing wheelies no less)...
Do you think he will ride this one???

He's banned from it !!! Except a few random times.

 

[chancer]

He is banned from the Barstool!???

 

[Joe-405]

It's actually his now. I sold it to him so I didn't have to ban him from the barstool. Old farts gotta have their power chairs. Lol



And my buddy off street outlaws will be testing the bike if I'm not healed by the time the brakes get here. Been ordered for a few weeks. But MCP is reinventing the wheel I guess and they are slacking pretty badly. Rest will be done this weekend or beginning of next week for sure.

 

[chancer]

Who is gonna test it?

 

[Joe-405]

Who is gonna test it?

He was on one of the earlier seasons. It's dustin99a4 that is part of the E-Town Hustlers group that I'm in. And known forever. He had the 1999 z28 that had a BBC and true fire flames on it. And another buddy that was on last season also with a teal fox body.

A few of those guys are on forums themselves and still get on to have gear head discussions. Seen daddy Daves nova before the show, and seen Chiefs car before it was shown with the white paint job. They where active before and still active after the show, which is cool in my book.

 

[chancer]

They used to have their own Forum but TV and Trolls pretty much made it useless!
Midwest street cars Facebook page is pretty much Corporate and uses "auto post"

It's also called supastar mode where they forget about everybody that helped them get where they are now also. A few buddies have walked up to say hi and they ignored them like they never knew who they were. But we all used to hang out every weekend since the mid 90's before the show or forums were even thought of.

 

[Jfive]

They're still on yellowbullet.

 

[Joe-405]

I really wish my brakes I paid for oh say........... 3 weeks ago would show up. Nothing but crappy luck on this thing. I have all of it but the brake caliper, brake hose, rotor, and sprocket. Which I might add is all on the same paid order !

 

[Joe-405]

Still no brakes yet from MCP. No more stuff from them ! My chassis guy at minichopperssocal is designing something else also for his stuff !

But I guess on the bright side my arm might be healed in time for some testing.

 

[Joe-405]

If the brakes show up............. These shall be the last pics of the front wheel sitting firmly on Terra firma ! So enjoy............... And stay tuned !!!!

Foot pegs , gas tank mount , neck brace , wheelie bar bracing shall be done tomorrow..............

 

[Joe-405]

We are officially all welded up minus the belt guard people.....................

Now if someone could slap around mcp brakes for me that would be awesome !!!!!

P.S. And i promised a wheelie so here yeah go til the brakes get here............................
