I've been at this build for so long you probably won't remember what you told me about shocks?.
I know you said no shock on the planet can rebound effectively at the speeds required and the anti roll bar would create issues so I went with the rigid set up.
The shocks lying on top of the chassis shouldn't be there. They are 2,000 Lb units off the old F2 "wing cars" with skirts. I used them as hangers to try set the ride height before I had the tubes welded.
BTW, there was almost a huge fight here on Easter Sunday. The cousin of that bad guy in Sacramento is my "brother in law". First he turned up unannounced at the gate, honked the horn and was shouting. Easter is my time for reflection so I turn the phone off and don't receive visitors. The sign on the gate says "VISITORS BY APPOINTMENT ONLY" big as Texas but the fool never called his sister before coming over and I was home alone. The live in gardener told him we were at church. We go to Mass at different times because the dogs can't be left alone.
When she got back he walked into the TV room where I sleep and had an "opinion". The history with this family is not good. This guy, the aviation sheet metal guy asked for space in my shop in 2000 because his hangar space was cancelled. He offered me 30% of the profit on a Gulfstream door he had to skin. Then he didn't have money for Alclad so he borrowed money from me, did the job and disappeared. If he said I'm in trouble, broke and need help I would have given him the money and been done but he came here to lie!!. I'm trying to be a good guy and avoid confrontation.
I don't even remember what he said but I went from lying on my back to airborne and coming down from the ceiling. His sister yanked him and said run. He flew out the door. Short story is he eventually comes back with his sis intervening. It was over the Sacramento guy. The packages were too heavy yada yada yada so I had the box of stuff Sparky bought from Summit the second time. I gave it to him and he said it isn't heavy at all so the big hunk of burning love from Ca is a jerk plain and simple. If you can't do something just say no.
Sid, I got the Bonneville program and the two patches brother. Thank you so much and I'm sorry I caused you and Sparky headaches. Apparently the guy from America wanted R500 just for transporting a book and two patches. My missus dealt with him and I was out of the loop because she needs me outside of prison.
I'm a sweet kid but my dark side isn't like everyone else's. When you grow up with a narcissistic, physically abusive widow, get beaten at home, in the hood and at school by teachers and pupils you'll go three ways. You'll be a wimp for life, become a drug addict/alcoholic or get hard.
I read the room better than anyone and can pick the bullies in order of rank, spot the storytellers and operators in 30 seconds. I'm not aggressive but if you poke me there won't be a pushing match. You'll sleep. These two South African born guys are just like the people I grew up avoiding. Don't think I never wanted to go see the guy from Sacramento at his mom's house?. I did but it wasn't the Christian thing to do. I try hard to avoid drama and I was close but the missus has learnt how to keep me out of trouble.
You guys all help me with everything. Packages, advice, motivation, inspiration and more packages.
I'm sorry I got Sid and Sparky into this mess. I guess when you're down you grasp at straws and only see the upside. I trusted a guy I don't know and should have known better. This is on me for a judgement call. A BAD one!!!.
When I call Spiritual Warfare people think I'm a loon but when a bad guy arrives unannounced on Easter Sunday after a 12 year absence and gets lippy there's only one answer!!!.
I'm not going to be thrown off my game. This liner is the most awesome thing to ever come into my life.
God Bless you all and thank you for everything.✝✝✝🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
