Another shot
« on: October 01, 2018, 12:12:00 am »
So... Here is my last shot at getting another car together. This has been the longest thread in history. lol! My good friend Craig G. gave me his old 2 bar chassis and body. Pretty sure I have most everything else except lower A-arms. This will be my very last build. Going to be a very busy, and long, winter season. I hope I don't disappoint all of you that have helped me out over the years.

Let me know your address Steve, Ill send you a set of lower A Arms. Since USLC still doesn't deem VMS worthy of being a dealer, we have started fabricating our own

Thanks Jim! Are these still $45 each? These a-arms are all I need to complete the suspension. As always; You always come through!
Thank You my friend!!! I will message you my address.

It's a long story. lol! I started this project years ago with the intent to build a dwarf car. As I am not a welder, I had a friend do the welding for me. When I moved back to Montana, I had various people do the welding for me. Needless to say, I chose a wrong person and they ruined the chassis... Burned big holes in the tubing. I have since bought a legends car chassis and am building that with the parts I have collected over the years. My intent is to run the car in SCCA auto cross. I will post pics as the build comes along.

Thanks Jim!
The chassis appears to be relatively straight. A little bend in the rear frame horns that I can straighten out. Getting the front and rear suspension mounted are my first part of the project. I am pretty sure that I have ordered all the parts needed. [From VMS Motorsports, of course! ;)]

I was talking with Joe Gartner this week about the race car... I am going to number the car as #93 Team Levi in honor of his son's fight with childhood cancer. I am really excited to have Levi aboard and support his fight! For those that don't know the Gartner family; Levi is their young son and has been fighting cancer since just before his 2nd birthday. He just recently turned 5 years old. He is still not out of the woods; But is doing better. He is having scans to track his progress this week. Everyone please send prayers and positive thoughts for Levi and the Gartner family.

Steve,

Although I don't know Joe Gartner, it is great to see you supporting him in honor of his son. I just lost my father-in-law within the last week. It makes a person think just how precious life is and how good we really got it compared to some others.

Keep up the good work! May God bless Joe and Levi!
