New lights from Rides can in Sat. Got them mounted and tried to pic a pic of the beams but the camera wouldn't do it for some reason....

size comparison diameter wise

Depth wise

I gained the clearance needed to drop my bar down flush with the roof.

But the best thing was Strader saying "Daddy they are too bright for the dog and me in here!!" I think I need a kick back for this photo and his slogan on these things!!!

I have a 1" and access to a 1 1/4" die if you need to bend a smaller tube over the lights. Looks good so far!

Worked on the buggy a few mins tonight. Been collecting alot of parts the past few weeks. I got my toy to dana 300 adapter but a piece was mismachined so it has to wait. I got the steering column, it was pretty cool watching the guys a Harvicks shop weld it while it was sumerged in water to keep the bearings cool. I rolled the hood bar tighter tonight, that is alot of work btw.

I got two of these coolers, one for oil, one for powersteering. They are off a APU unit for airplanes. I will use brake duct cooler fans to blow over then, they are almost the same as the ones they use on the planes. I about had a heartattack when I saw the price of these things new.... Lets just around $3200 for the pair!!! It's amazing what you find in dumpsters...

 

[altoids]

Nice build. I like the coolers.

 

[snappy]

They will also double as heaters in the winter!! I'm going to run duct up to each seat so I have a heat source.

[snappy]

[Tacoma747]

looks good, racing ECORS next year?

 

[rockcity]

I still never got those 4:1 gears to you last race....

 

[snappy]

Got the hoodbar bent today.... It is rolled in the tube roller then bent to match the contour of the hood.....

 

[snappy]

Got my new wheels, picking up the tires in Harlan...
Now the question is to powder coat or keep polishing them? They are forge raceline lines so the are polished with no clear coat...

 

[RatLabGuy]

Pretty bling - leave 'em until they begin looking daddy -then powder coat.

 

[Dylan W.]

Pretty bling - leave 'em until they begin looking Daddy-then powder coat.

[Tacoma747]
