Know anybody in Alaska or the west coast that has a wheel-stander for sale?
I am looking for one. Would prefer something that needs work, (aka cheap)
Rumor has it that there used to be one up here. I would like to restore it and run it for exhibition purposes at ARP.
Thanks,
Clint

Clint, let's put your old motor in the back of the dump truck and make it a wheel stander.. The tractor maybe??

But then I wouldn't have a dump truck...silly idea. Everybody needs a dump truck don't ya know?
I want to do 1/4 mile long wheelies with sparks coming off the wheelie bars. (lead plates I think?) Pure Showmanship type stuff. I bet the crowds would love it and I would have a ball doing it.
I found a Nova on racing junk, but its too far away. I also found a really cool rear engined Henry J that I would kill to own, but its way out of my price range.
I need one in Alaska or at the very least the West Coast. Earl told me there used to be one up here, I am determined to find it if its still up here.

Clint, the car you are talking about was a nova wagon called "black bear"... I'm pretty sure the guy that owned it was in or around peters creek. I think he was a welder.

I know this because I have two 4 foot pieces attached to the frame of my chevrolet. It's lowered 5/8 and when i go over speed bumps or big ruts in the highway it scrapes and the titanium sparks and makes it look cool bit also keeps my frame from getting destroyed. It lasts a long time too. Nothing better than doing 60 down the highway, sparks flyin. Lol. |

Devin, GOOBER is fitting you well.. Don't even bring facebook to this forum. lol It's true though, those titanium skid plates work awesome. They were a lil spendy, but I know thats not a problem for clint, ask about his motorhome led light bar. I love driving my truck down the road and have it sparking, makes me feel like I'm driving Ricks camaro. Roflmao. |

Hey Clint, How about one of those old van/pickup combo's like an old Chevy van Corsair or the (I hate to say it) Ford Econoline or Dodge even made one too. I remember those things when I was a kid running down the track on the rear wheels. Or was that just in the comic books  |
