KELMO Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 DF & GTF: in reference to the Blue Goon, see below No, there is no thread on this car (well I started one when I got it but I am sure it has died), I bought the goon in the middle of the green coupe project and am hoping that one will be done late this year or early next. The goon is next on the list. Hoping to have my shop built by that time. 3 Quote Link to comment

flatcat19 Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Um, that read like some of the most proper English available of this forum. 4 Quote Link to comment
dimlight65 Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Ugh, I either need to drink more often or stop completely... or eat first. 2 Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 eating first usually helps made perfect sense to me though Quote Link to comment

hobospyder Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 nah man, he was typing phonetically. using his actual dialect and accent and the drunk mumbles and making it look like how it sounds when it comes out ones mouth 1 Quote Link to comment
sebpv Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 I know i know. I came to realize afterwards but couldnt believe it. My lightweight ass wouldnt even be able to type shit if I was drunk. Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 I used to, and it would be clear even. Hated my own typos more when I drink than when I'm sober so this reply alone would take ten minutes 1 Quote Link to comment
dimlight65 Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 So I was sent to look at some parts for a Bronco we're building to sell, right? How would y'all know? Because I just told you... anyhoo, while grokking the parts, I mentioned building a set of "Roll Bar Doors" for it. The dude says, "I have some of those as well." I looked at them and thought, "Meh, what the hell. They might fit the Land cruiser." I bought them. When I got back to the shop, and they most assuredly did NOT fit the Land Cruiser, I decided to see how well they filled the hole in a 1200. The answer... "Surprisingly!" I took a picture of the doors but not in the hole. I'll try to remember to do that tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 I haven't thumbed through this thread on a while......and I like where this is going!! Quote Link to comment
dimlight65 Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Ok, I wasn't really feeling the whole "work ethic" thing today so I piddled with my stuff instead. I ground off the hinges and striker from one of those "roll bar doors" I bought yesterday and gave it a test fit in the 1200. It really does fit surprisingly well. I took a picture of it but... well, let me just say that computers and computer programmers suck ass. 2 Quote Link to comment
dimlight65 Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Oh yeah, I also spent an hour or so fitting this... to the L-20b. No pictures of those mods either. 2 Quote Link to comment

dimlight65 Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Many thanks to datsunfreak for posting my blurry-assed picture. I am going to impose upon him again later to take some non-blurry-assed pictures of the whole gestalt of the car with the doors and ask for y'all to give your opinions on it. I have had one "Gopher it!" vote by the way. Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 I'm impressed with how well they fit the door. I definitely want to see a wider shot of it. Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 i like where this is going Quote Link to comment
KiloTango1200 Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Maybe something like this? RacerDave has the full Coupe rollcage template. 5 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted September 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Another shot of the reversed Bronco doors... Baffle mod to clear the stock pickup tube... Clearance on scraper to clear stock pickup tube... Trimmed the edge of the stock pickup tube... And now it drops right on... 4 Quote Link to comment
dimlight65 Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Ok, before anyone else votes to go for the Bronco doors, I think I'm going with regular doors on this car. I am, however, now on the lookout for a really sh!tty 1200 to turn into a "Slowster." I plan on using these doors to reinforce the opening when I chop off the roof. 1 Quote Link to comment
Burabuda Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 I vote for bong hits before you chop the roof 4 Quote Link to comment
dimlight65 Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Dual DCOE manifold for the Z-20 arrived today... at least a rattly box from Canadia arrived today. It's supposed to be a dual DCOE manifold for the Z-20. I haven't actually opened it to see. I've been busy with... lettuce say, something else. I'll grok what I have on Saturday and ax John to take a picture for y'all. 1 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted October 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Dual DCOE manifold for the Z-20 arrived today... at least a rattly box from Canadia arrived today. It's supposed to be a dual DCOE manifold for the Z-20. And in case he didn't mention it (which he didn't), there is a plan afoot wherein this car will not be getting my L20b, but instead will be getting a Z20 engine with his lovely handbuilt header and the aforementioned Cannon DCOE intake with (obviously) dual DCOEs... 1 Quote Link to comment
