Kinda, not really. I finally moved all my stuff to the place I'm staying now. I have it all in sotrage and I need to buy a shed to turn into a workshop so I can get some work done. I couldn't get my stuff out of there quick enough! Loaded up a whole tandem axle trailer with lawnmowers and parts. The trailer itself empty exceeded the maximum weight that I'm supposed to be able to tow with my car   No weight in there at all..  I definately didn't put hubcaps on the uhaul, I swear...  Got a little lean to it... |
Just because you move up in a class doesn't mean that you'll "loose" the "race", it just means that you're building a better, more capable machine. |

I do need a truck, but I might be getting a Subaru WRX STi instead There's an '89 El Camino for sale that my brother told me about. Apparently it has very low mileage, has been garaged most of it's life, and is in mint condition... For only $2,000 |

Well, look who got to get some work done this weekend. They're not staying on there, as they're WAY too big, but I finally have a rolling chassis again - after about 5 months of it being a pile of scrap. |

Rear axle setup looks sweet, but i agree its a bit too high in the rear for El Toro...Talk about ground clearance thought...

If that sprocket has a set screw you shouldnt need the lock collars on it as the chain will help keep it aligned. |

With my luck (and I've had it happen before with the belts) the set screws would rattle loose, and the sprocket would walk - then I would loose the axle key and be stranded in the woods. :( |
