Planning Closet reunion - Early Fall, near Cape Cod

All the more reason to stuff a 427 under the hood, you need the weight to keep your wheels on the ground........that's why Dan lost it in turn 9, that dinky 5.0L wasn't heavy enough to keep his wheels in contact with the pavement...!

Big V-6.

More than enough grunt to tow the car at 75. Yep, Crunchsk8 & open trailer weigh in at 3400lbs, well within the truck's capacities. If I had a full trailer or heavier car, a full PU would be needed. I'm amazed I towed with the Toyota last year!

Yeesh! My old two-horse Circle J weighs more than that -empty! The three horses together have right about 3400 pounds. Then there's all the tack, feed (extended trips), and water -Tink's horse will only drink pure water drawn from a well on the mesa overlooking Somerton, Arizona

I thnk I'll keep the full-size.

The good news is I bought the Cobra, the bad news is those damn bodies Fly at 85mph..................

Ol' R/C flyers' trick (the flyers are old, not the trick): Get some polyurethane-based adhesive like Gorilla Glue Jig up the ruptured area, wet it down and apply the adhesive. When the goo hits the water, it bubbles up and cures muy pronto! The bubbles will fill any voids (missing chunks) and they sand down almost as easily as the surrounding fiberglass If any "new seams" stick out too much; we'll just start calling her Frankensk8!

Ya, but Dan doesn't need to take a shovel along when he trailers Cobrask8!

Y'know.....with some Liquid Nails, a turkey baster, nasal spray, a mohair sweater, and 27 (maybe 32) paperclips; I could fix that!

I was gonna say 29 paperclips.
AND.....You forgot the duct tape, nail polish remover, bubble gum and baling wire......we could have her looking (almost) good as new in two - three days!

Man, the poor girl is alomst as cracked as Dan is. Gonna take a little more than paper clips to fix him.
