Is the new one going to be that class 1 you showed awhile back?

Congrats on the sale. Hope you got a little teary eyed as it said goodbye.
It is IMHO the nicest functional Baja I have had the pleasure of seeing pictures of.

Oh man. Glad I saved some photos. Noticed alot of the build pictures are now missing when I tried to show it to a friend. Good luck!

Thats too bad. I tried like hell to convince all potential buyers it was a POS so you could never sell it

But in all seriousness, congrats on the sale. Hopefully whatever you build next will be as much fun to watch.

DesertGuy has been keeping pretty mums about this, not good for us

Maybe he will have a brainfart and spill the beans.

Still hammering out a few things, didn't get to spend as much time at the Supershow that I needed so I have been talking alot on the phone. It will either require a Culhane TH400, Mendeola 2D or a Mendeola S4... all of which cost too much money, in my opinion. Hopefully, I will know soon.

Ok, the TH400 threw me. What could he be looking at if that were a option. Truggy? It would have to be midboard

Anyone know what a coolham trans is?

It's just like a Henway.

"What's a henway?"

... Thought I'd throw that out there.

Here is one of the powerplant options.... Just need to figure out if a stock 002 could handle it...
