Actually, since Jody gave me the weekend off, I had a great escape doing this :bigun2:

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming. :popcorn2:

:thumbsup: :flag2:

Nice, Adams gas piston? I got the PWS piston from my buddies at ADDAX tactical.

Just a coincidence. :)

Had this day planned with my SWAT buddy for a couple weeks.

I was a little tempted to hit the full boogie button on his Colt AR when I was shooting it. :sieg:

Ahhhhu hummmm select fire........ That term you used will put us on HLS alert

It's the factory Sig 2 piston system.

As you probably know, Vince, the Sig 556 is a not a true AR-15 platform (gas piston vs direct impingement) but does share some features and parts interchangeability.

I was just looking at an AR-10 built by ADDAX the other day on Calguns. Stunning.

Better? :D

Yes.







:lol:

I like the dichotomy of the Sig with the serenity statue in the background, the modern weapon with the backdrop of the post modern era furniture .

Is that a Verner Panthon designed table?:poke:

:cheers:

On a build thread note I have an idea surrounding wheel style and functionality. Want to guess what it is?

http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/l...ps9a641688.jpg

It's actually mid century modern but who's counting? :)

And that is not a table -- it's a Packard Bell record player credenza. :rockin:


Cars... guns... furniture design.... what a thread. :D

:idea:

Flash,

How much did you shoot that shotgun?

It reminds me of the Mossberg riot shot gun I used to have. It had such nasty recoil with that pistol grip ... after 5 shots you wanted to put it down.

Gun Pics, Race Car Pics..just Bring In Some Chic Pics And This Thread Will Have It All!!

This thread is more work than herding cats.....

I probably shot the Mossberg 20-25 times and my buddy 10. We tried a variety of buckshot and slugs. I'd never shot a slug before and holy moly that is some serious bidness. :computer:

I got it as a pistol grip but started modifying with parts. This was its maiden voyage. I may throw the pistol grip back on there next time out.

Kinda like us keeping track of your cars and toters. :peepwall:

I can you tell what I am not worried about.. and that is a Torino. :poke:

Herd of cats? Don't you mean brothel of cats, or am I out of context?

You know the fear of the Torino keeps you up at night.:hairpullout:

He would but it's already been done.:P

:cheers:

That explaines why he is always on line all night

What's been done? I can only see a blob of red and a blob of black and some hooptie trailer.

Nice "photograph" with your 1997 Blackberry.

Flash,

I shot slugs with the pistol grip. Ugh! 5 rounds & I was done & went back to the other gun toys.

LOL
I thought this thread was about cats? :innocent:

Too bad that Torino is so far away from me or I'd have him bring it up so it would get finished.


What's a Blackberry? Don't they make jam with them?

No --- this thread is about TORNIO'S.....

I wouldn't be either. He's had the car for 6 months and hasn't even bothered to unload it off the trailer. I'm assuming they don't make ramps that will handle the weight and girth. :D

Very nice toys right there. During my career, one of the coolest guns I've had, has been the H&K MP5 fully auto with a suppressor...it will take care of business.

First auto I ever shot was the MP5-SD.......what a let down.....very quiet, low recoil and minimal muzzle climb. I was expecting a real man-gun and got a passive ***** cat. :D

That said, excellent CQ weapon. Wish I could afford one for a house gun but the prices for a decent one are off the charts.

Thanks and those MP5's are bad ass. Were/are you LEO or military or ?

Nice to see a liberal use of ammo. ;)

So not trying to stir the puddin or anything but, Brent, given all that you do have planned in way of modifying existing suspension and subframe components, why not just build a full frame? I would think that would give you the most freedom to really design around all the obstacles presented. I bet it would also be faster, cheaper, and maybe even easier. Just wondering. I really like the direction you guys are headed with this car. Good luck!

i think cost would be reason number 1 Tray.

Vince is exactly right when you analyze that at this point in time. It is easy to look at that in hindsight but I started this new phase 16 months ago (it hurts to type that) when a local guy PM'ed me asking if I was interested in his Jake's sub and torq arm. I'd already been talking to Jake and was leaning toward his setup, so it all took off from there and the snowballing began.

As much as I love Payton's car on Jake's full frame, I really am enjoying the "struggle" to maintain a street/race car balance (how I envision it) and I understand that that is totally in the eye of the beholder as many would label this a race car. I like that challenge am honestly looking forward to an "unstreetable" street car. :)

BUT... I am tired of not driving my car and watching all these guys have a blast at various events. I wanna join in the fun and compete and that is the real driving force at this point. My car has been down for about as long as I got to drive it from late 2010 to early 2012 and that just sucks.

I'll be meeting with Brett on Sunday while I am down in Socal for a wedding and we will be taking a look at various ride heights and the work involved. After some hard self analysis lately I hope I can be comfortable (aesthetically) with a ride height that will require minimal hard core fab like Renner's had to go through. And Brett has plenty of other fab work on my punchlist to do anyway (dry sump container, fuel cell structure, cage work, etc).

But if I knew what I knew now, and after seeing Payton's car, if I had to do it over I just might choose the full frame route.... Oh well, onward and upward.... no time to look too far in the past. :thumbsup:

Payton, you bastage.... :lol:

Street car...:lol: :lmao: :lostmarbles: Where is the pit crew going to ride?

Half street car. :D

Can they follow in the chase car? Probably a Ford of some kind since it will be in the rear view mirror.

I'd tell ya, but then I'd have to...just kidding, LEO Dave.

Hitch receiver makes it an official street car no?

Then you can design a full-framed race trailer to haul track gear. :secret:
