WELD/SUTTON DIRT MISSILE build - Lateral-g Forums

**GregWeld** · #1 08-17-2018, 08:31 AM

WE now have a solid do over plan for Dirt Missile!!

She's going to SPEEDTECH PERFORMANCE for Blake and the boys to make it what it should have been.

They understand the thin race bodies -- they paint in house -- they weld -- they race -- they understand a thing or two about suspension.... and they certainly understand what's NOT RIGHT.....

I've had so many offers to fix it -- and I thank all of you for reaching out and offering a helping hand. Blake et al have been friends for years.... and they're close (relatively) to us... and I know they can do the job.

Greg,

First of all, sorry to hear about a friendship lost.

Secondly, I'm glad that you're moving forward to version #2. I hope that you/Speedtech can post pictures of things that are potentially wrong or mistake so that the rest of us can learn from.

Like many others, I really enjoys reading your build threads.

Best of luck to you (health wise, and on the new version of DirtMissile).

Tu

The seat is custom and bolted in..... and I purposely had the bars built for 5' 5" or less.... Lurch missed it by a full foot.

LOL

Good thing I love him.

Gregg,
You can always cut bars out
I had to do that to reposition the damn seat
in the Mustang I sold to Chet.... was so far
forward originally my knee kept hitting the door
handle opening it when shifting

Good to hear Speedtech is taking over

I thought you did that to keep me from being able to record a lap time in it.

It will be good to see you get it sorted out and more importantly see YOU drive it. I doubt that it will be that big of a project. It has some decent bones.
