Well, hello all! My name is Andrew. I was introduced to this forum a few years ago by the infamous Bob Dullam.
I always thought it would be cool to do what he did. I never became a member because I don't have the experience to really contribute. The extent of my automotive prowess is changing the oil, alternator, belts, and brake pads.
I don't want to get too personal... but my dad is sick and dying from cancer.
He started getting rid of his "toys": dirt bike, quads, a ranger and a sand rail.
I saw Terry's build and T-mans go cart and thought, "hmmmmm, why not?"
My goal is to modify this street legal sand-rail into a tumbler.

i though a tumbler would go well with the suit that Bob made for me.

to
Remember I've got vision but very little skill!
Shaggy has already been awesome in giving me some direction, guidance, and motivation.
With your help I know we can do this!
I'm hoping to do it in about a year.

Wow Andrew! glad to see you posting on the board!!! The suit is awesome by the way!
I'll get you some sketches up just as soon as i get thru modeling this base for a Hot Tub, a Space Needle, and....other....things n stuff. But We will get you fixed up. OH i think i still need wheel measurements. Or maybe you emailed them to me, i cant remember haha. No, im not insane.

I was planning on using steel. like 20 gauge?
I know a guy that has a bender, he can bend up to 15 feet sheets.
I do need to get the wheel size for you Shag.
I'll get to it this weekend.

| Tripleasg, welcome to the board! I see I am not the only person that does Batman Birthday Partys! Good job!! Yes, the suit can get hot at times. Is that a Bob D. suit? It looks different on you! Well Shaggy is the man when it comes to templates! What size motor do you got there?
