POLL - Venable's new Paint Scheme (HE SHOWED IT) !!

[Cajun Kid]

Thanks Guys,,,, I like the Charity  event !!!!  I even like you guys supplying the paint,,

I think the sterile environment of Larry's paint booth may yield the best results !!  and you crazy guys would probably bring some crazy colors like Fuscia, Magenta and even Pink  LOl

Well it is cold and raining here,,, no shop time today.. Taking family to see the Rocketts Christmas Show at 4pm.

I believe you are referring to Mac's Breakfast Anytime ...

[Cajun Kid]

Yep,  Mac's is the place,, very big dining area... good food and fair price.

I guess that's the new Breakfast hang out since Huddle House closed.  The good thing is it has plenty of room if more than just 20 folks show up at the same time.

Robbie,

I sent you an email with pics of the combo push bar/chute mount/anchor line  unit.

Charles

Charles,

I like the chute mount push bar combo.
We are  doing the same thing but using a seal bearing for a wheel.
Our chute mount is welded to the car but am making the pushbar removable'
Will show pics when we get close to finishing to see if anybody thinks we should do something different.
Stay tuned in.

Robbie, the unit I sent you pics of installs like a receiver hitch,, so the entire unit comes off when needed.

The ease of design, build and use makes this the one for me.

See you soon,

Charles

Charles,

We thought about the receiver mount also but with a four thousand pound car the yank is about twelve thousand pounds and I did not trust the pin in the receiver mount.
So we welded the chute mount solid. I have seen alot cars with the receiver mount chute so I guess its alright. I'm just a big chicken i guess.

Robbie,  A Class 5  hitch pin is rated to 30,000 lbs....  I thought the same way as you did,,, But then I thought about that and the heavy loads a hitch pulls,,,

I still don't trust the class 4 stuff... so I am using  OD 2x2x.250 wall tube for the Male  and the Female will also be .250 wall fully welded and also  gusseted like crazy,,, then the pin will be 5/8 " and we will use 2 pins...

Now that seems like going overboard,, but I am like you and like STRONG,  but I want removable too.

Charles,


That's a good idea that i didn't think about.
You can't be to safe brother.

Make sure the tow line loop of the chute is around a min. of a 1 - 1/4 spool to prevent tearing of the loop.

[Cajun Kid]

I agree,, we are going above the minimum in every area we can. (except MPH) lol
  I am sure we may miss something,,,but our list is just like Santa's  we are checking it TWICE....

[Cajun Kid]

Make sure the tow line loop of the chute is around a min. of a 1 - 1/4 spool to prevent tearing of the loop.

Glen,,, gottcha,,, we have 1 1/2  Solid Alum bar stock,,, will drill hole in it an use it as the spool.

Charles

[Glen]

Super, we see a lot of chutes tear off with just a bolts thru the loop.

[Cajun Kid]

Glen,  I look forward to you seeing my Stude pop it's chute properly,,,,,that would mean I made it to BONNEVILLE
