You should donate a pair of shoes to that homeless guy, or at least some laces. You know, for good karma.

Some slag caught that lace and demolished it. Surprising enough the design of those high quality skate shoes 🤣 makes them not fall off, even without laces.

I wear my shoes until they have holes in them so the buggy can have stickies!

You wear slicks and your buggy wears sticks, ha ha.

Well it’s either horrible timing (financially) or great timing (for lifting my spirits)… I had parts arrive today.

Your Pic of The Day

I got to do the Petty driving experience on this track over a decade ago, but last weekend was my first NASCAR race. Didn’t hate it, but it ain’t no KOH……

I got a steering stem and pulley ordered earlier this week and received some other stuff I ordered: steering wheel, brake pedal, brake master and battery terminals all from summit. I also got the cylinder mounts from Hulse engineering. They’re super slick, low profile to keep the ram closer to the axle and they hold the ram in place laterally so I don’t have to use 3 or 4 “regular” clamps. It’s also nice to support a Utah guy.

Oh and I got a big magnetic tray because I needed to spend a few more $$$ to get free shipping.

Not the update I wanted but it’s been a long, shitty week with all the employment drama and I’ve been quite blue. I came out to the garage today intending to get a lot of stuff done… but I’m still just not in the mood. So I decided that full bump is just what the dr ordered and it definitely helps.

Steering wheel time!

Can't believe how quickly it's coming together, what's next? Plumbing, wiring, driveshafts?

Just like all of the things! Driveshafts, steering, skid plates, controls layout/dash and then plumbing, wiring and random stuff.

Also need to measure for axle shafts and order them but that sounds hard.
