Yep, if he makes it as far as Cheyenne and doesn't want to venture south he's sure welcome to put up here for the night. Anybody in contact with him?

He called me from 25 miles west of Cheyenne at ~4:15. No complaints except the tarp on the trailer. Then the phone connection went TU. No word since and calls to him get voicemail... Hey Eric, maybe you could PM me when you get a chance - I have a pair of rear calipers I need "modified"...

We made it home!

Here's what I sent the local gang:

Made it home around 6-ish. All that worrying for weather was for naught. We didn't hit any snow until just south of Longmont (about 10 north of my house). But there's a boatload of snow on my lawn and street. So the van and trailer just got parked in front of the house. I'll unload the door, lids, smail parts and the tub tomorrow when I'm sure nothing will get dropped or banged up.

The tarp for the top of my trailer walls was getting pretty torn up after 175 miles, so I did what I should have done in the first place. Stopped at the 84 Lumber in Rock Springs WY. and bought enough plywood and 2x4s to cover the top of my "box". Screwed it down right on top of the tarp so that it's now acting as a bladder. Worked great! It's just a big box now. Sturdy as hell too. The only thing missing now is a full rear "door".

Mikes  trailer idea while garnering alot of scoffing from some people!, is a good one. It does take some carpentry skill, but, I do plan to use something of the same nature in the future myself.

It can use some refinement to be sure, but the basic idea is very sound.

His 6 is going to be very nice when its done.  The tangerine and black offset each other very nice.

You should have came!

The only thing it was really missing was a lid and a full rear door. And of course, now it has a lid! It would have better if the lid had been engineered as part of the "system". I would do it differently the next time.

the food looked as good as the car! let me guess, that must be Eric going for the wine
First thing I asked for when I got there was a glass... Good choice for eats Eric! The food was fantastic. You were right; I'm glad I didn't miss it.

I know what you mean about the weather.
Being prepared for it is very important.
This morning i went to the D&G swap meet for 911s and forgot to bring sun screen, got all sunburned!
Hope things go well for Gint.
Hey Sammy! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/finger.gif) JK of course. Come out to San Diego next Saturday and you can put sunscreen on my back.

Sorry about that John. I was calling to tell you that I wasn't gonna stop. Right after I lost the connection I saw the sign that said: "Strong Winds. Light trailers not advised". Hmmm.... 2600 punds or so and 6" high. Hhhmmm.... I slowed to 60 and white knuckled for a while until I hit I25 and it became a tail wind. Much better.




My only real regret is that I didn't have more time with the local S.L. area crew. Great bunch of guys. And thanks for the help! Mark, Ed, Eric, Eric, Chase, Mike and his lovely wife and daughter. You guys were great! Chase - Nice 914! Great color too. Sorry you couldn't stick around.

Mostly thanks to Troy. I can't tell you guys how great the tub looks.

Now, how about some "Trailer Trash Enginneering" pics.

I aint goin outside to measure it Howard! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Too cold, wet, and now dark.

It's an 2000 pound, 18' car hauler. The sides of the walls (without the removable nose cone) are 12' long and the distance between the plywood on the inside, is 82 & 1/4". That help?

Since we didn't get much chance to talk, it's good to know you've got a sense of humor. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) You'll need it on this board.

As for the dull and ugly talk, stop it you're killin me. That was the best lookin running (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) 914 I saw all weekend. Seriously, that's a nice looking 914 you've got there. 5 lug even. Drive the hell out of it and enjoy it.

Oh, I finally remembered how to tie a bowline in BFE Wyoming. Out of pure necessity. All of the ones I tied at Troy's were wrong.

This one's kinda handy:
