All the builds you've posted have been amazing but I'm pretty sure this one will be my favorite !
Can't wait to see it done.

It’s in TN. You cross over into NC but it’s 318 curves in 11 miles. Mostly in TN. Got the usual warning ticket because I slightly exceeded the 30 speed limit

 

[Steel1]

Oh ok , my memory sucks but I know we were on it at one point during our tour.

Slightly exceeded..?? lol

Tail of the dragon in the fall!
EPIC!!!!
but at 30 mph, only mildly entertaining

There’s some “point of no return” cliffs at the edge of some of those turns I hear.

 

[Noobz347]

30 mph = 2nd gear + part throttle


Seems legit

Yea...nobody goes 30 except people that wished they hadn’t went on it. I got a warning ticket because I passed a TN officer at double the limit but I had already crossed into NC when I met him so he just went on over to TN and waited on me to come back thru....so when I did I was being good and all he could give me was a warning ticket...But there are multiple deaths each year...mainly motorcycle riders. There are a bunch of drop offs that you won’t come back from.

That’s exactly right. And most end in death

 

[95steedamustang]

Bare with me. I know this may look odd on a notch but I will tie it all together with some custom

work.

I may have missed this, but how do you plan to unlock the doors?

I may have missed this, but how do you plan to unlock the doors?

Electric locks with a battery backup so even if the battery were to die...you can still pop the locks.

 

[Cheapskate207]

Amazing work so far.. as always.

Needs better wheels to be a cool build.

17 inch 10-holes

10s in the back and 8s in the front.


95th should be able to whip up some of those in a couple hours.

Not to worry. We got wheels
