Our last stop in Buttonwillow for gas and a run to the border for a couple tacos.

When we were a couple blocks from home we started hearing strange noises coming from the trailer. I looked back and didn't see anything, maybe the straps had loosened. Anyway, as we turned the corner to the house Greg says, " we don't have a tire!" I reply, "Yeah right." Greg is like I'm serious. Shortly thereafter we arrive at the house. We got out and this is what we find.

We don't know how far we were driving like that but I figured it wasn't too far.

[montessaj]

The car looks good, sucks about the tire, at least you didn't have to stop and change it on the highway somewhere.

so our new buddy "garickman" stopped by the shop to drop off the frame for a box and geometry change but it was way farther gone than we expected, luckily we have a frame we can work with. Much nicer and already reinforced.
We are all looking forward to this build.
Let the sparks fly!!

Great to hear that you are willing to lend a hand on the project. Love to talk him into the fender and quarter stretch, I was doing mine but I'll finish that when I get a bit more experience. no bs, I just ran out of talent. LOL
