I don't know Jon. An implosion due to the incredibly dense mass of Chucks foot creating a black hole when it hits the wagon, or the Immovable Object (wagon) meets the Unstoppable Force (Chuck), hence creating a universe-ending explosion.
Either way we're all dead.Last edited by CarlC; 02-15-2011 at 06:00 PM.

Or at the very least a small black hole would form...

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

Glad you guys are enjoying the pic.. I will try to get a head on shot posted tonight.
So the build plan appears to be:
Swap in Currie 9" rear.. it's a new type that lets you run 12/10-bolt type brakes.. this way if you already have brakes and want to move to a 9" you don't have to re-buy them. We will also narrow it up a bit to get a deeper dish in the back.
Evod/Curtis Speed wheels.. convinced Yancy to move away from the typical three-piece wheels and go more of a "classic" route. Shaun Dove is milling up a set of 18/19 wheels that will have a Magnum 500 look to them.
Global West bolt on suspension.. Nothing crazy, just tighten up the handling and get the wagon a LOT lower. Again, the idea is to build a cruiser that's perfect for stuff like the Hot Rod Power Tour Long Haul and such.
New drivetrain.. GMPP system using a stock LS3, 4L60e, and all the goodies.. Oh, and AC
Still trying to decide on gauges.. the idiot lights just won't do. Also need an inexpensive EFI fuel tank."A ship in port is safe, but that's not what ships are built for."

That picture is painful to look at.
Your shutter speed must have been set to a whole minute to create the "illusion of speed" for that car, with those tires, on stock suspension...
I don't quite believe the .54G reading either, unless you compensated for body-roll by mounting the accelerometer at a 15deg angle.Derek Kiefer,

Just an update.. we "fixed" the wagon with some parts from Global West (coilover system) Penske (single adjust 7500 shocks) and Wilwood...
A little less drama now:
Much flatter in the turns:
And prettier when parked.. love the EVOD retro-styled wheels (18 front and 19 rear)
