Rust builds character.
You're putting a truck chassis on a Caddy?Here are some pictures of my old truck and the car being taken apart . A little more cutting on the car then I can start welding the truck to it . This is fun . If you haven't cut up a car you should do it once in your life .
That'd work great on a tail gator.We are still trying to decide on a caption for this one ! Narrowing it down to ;
A - Don't try this at home !
B - Hold my beer and watch this !

I did that with my Z - 1 , had to run 109 octane so the valves wouldn't rattle ! My mechanic told me the only thing I could do to make it faster was "lose weight" ! Finally sucked a valve , running that hot doesn't do a lot for engine life !Midnight blue '75 Camaro 350 with 10.9:1 dome pistons, Holley 750 double pumper, edelbrock performer intake, Competition Cams stainless steel roller rockers, pushrods ect. Accel super coil, stainless headers, electric fans B&M megashifter, 373 Richmond posi-traction..... To much to go on.... I have to run 110+ octane or she wants to detonate with that compression. Love the bikes to... I have a CBR600rr as well.
Nope I'm putting a f100 body on a Lincoln town car chassis. Everything the Lincoln has the truck will have . Using all the running gear ,wiring, suspension ,dash ,and everything . Here's the last one we did .You're putting a truck chassis on a Caddy?

We'll take you in tort heaven! Phx. Az. !'04 Honda Cbr600RR
Wish I lived somewhere nice year round!
Don't forget out 3 months of rain each day.You can pretty much ride year round here , can get too darn hot in the summer ! But you can always ride up into the mountains to cool off ! Florida is warmer overall , but they don't have mountains and they only have about 3 curves !

After riding from Gainesville to Leesburg at night , in the pouring rain , getting there at 5:00 AM and finding that my reserved room had been rented to someone else I will NEVER forget about rain in Florida !Don't forget out 3 months of rain each day.
Flat roads have an advantage. If high speed is your thing.
Since I've had the ZX1441r, I've gone a little too fast a few times.
More like way too fast many times.
