So here's my not only stretched, but also altered wheelbase fender. Also a pic of Charlie Allen's '66 Dart funny. One of my all time fav's! Charlie's engine is set back quite a bit more than mine, but you just don't need that today with tire technology, and the way they over prep the tracks till they're like glue (to compensate for people who can't drive!).

Thank you, you're too kind. It's been a rough few years being a business owner. Lost most of my life's savings trying to do things to keep my people working through '08-'09. Ended up having to take a job for the first time in a very long time (difficult learning to say "my boss" again!)
But now I'm back hacking it all together. Should be some fun stuff in another 12-18 months as they all come together.
If you liked my current stuff, let me show you what I've done in the past...gailflag.jpgTimblin Chassis post BCI.jpgGailnMe.jpg

I'm going to have to move some pix around and do another post, but the Blue and White bike is mine, me and my awesome wife in the pix, It's a turbo/nitrous Kawasaki funny bike, and I ran 7 flat at 192MPH on that; about 20 years ago! The all carbon bodied thing is one of our customer's bikes that I build the bodies for, a Pro Mod Suzuki for Timblin Chassis

Well, lets see, we'll stay with bikes for a bit...long burnout.JPGzrex.jpgbagger11[1].jpgdragbag.jpgPC120036.JPG
So, my funny bike and I on a typicall burnout. (550 RWHP boys and girls!) Then my current daily ride, a '01 ZRX1200, not fast, just fun. Then more bodies we build for teams. The "Drag Bagger" is a Harley Pro Mod we do for Star Racing in Americus, Ga. The Drag Bagger was designed for the Al-Anabi Racing Team out of the UAE. In the pix of the two bikes racing, I built both bike's bodies. Lastly is an NHRA Buell Pro Stock body. We built all of Kosman Racing's bodies for several years..That picture was taken at my booth at PRI. ("Performance Racing Industry" trade show in Orlando)

O.K., last bit for tonight. one&two.jpgDuster Burnout-1.jpg
For the "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away" file, The two cars are our early race cars (I'm really old!). That's me with the max wedge on the ground, and my older brother's Hilborn injected altered wheelbase Plymouth on the trailer. Our Dad didn't want us hot rodding on the street when we were teenagers, so he took us to the track, tuned our cars, etc. My brother and I never did street race, ever.
Lastly: the last days of the glory years, before the rules were changed so only Chevies could win. My brother doing a burnout in his Pro Stock Hemi Duster. (sigh) I do miss the good 'ol days! ('course, my bike was a lot faster than that hemi!)
I'm just a guy, no advanced education or anything, but I believed I could do the things I always wanted to do. Sometimes, I didn't set good enough goals, or high enough standards. The only thing youhave to remember is 1) never stop working hard, and 2) never, ever, never ever: give up....
Good night!

[l.k.]

all the bikes are nice..the drag bagger is very cool. And i must say old is not bad. it is experience, wisdom, knowledge, courage, and so many other important things necessary to be successful and happy and many other things involved in a great life with fun along the way..

this coming from a 26 year old....who never gives up and works hard at everything
very interesting life.

[l.k.]

oh and what type of business do you have....work do you do....

im gonna start a new thread on this for everyone soon..

thanks.

I like your taste in vehicles and you are a very talented man, no doubt about it. I enjoyed the read and the words of wisdom.
