Thinking "branson"


Recommended Posts

Some of you may recall the artickle I did in smoke signal about the rod I've been working on for the last 5 years.... Welp gotter almost finished, even did a burn out in the drive way a couple days ago. Now gettin the vin numbers and registration applications going with the state. No tellin how long that will take. Hope to get it to the upholstery shop in a couple weeks. Steve with Horn Dawg is workin on something very special also. I'm planning on showing it for the first time at Branson so hope you all get to make it this year, certainly is a great time and I've made some great friends over the years. I do need a little help finding a trailer to haul at least 2 bikes and the rod. Needs to be a minimum of 28 feet long with a beaver tail floor and long ramp door. The car is only 7 inches off the ground in front and will not clear a steep ramp and will high center on the oil pan. I don't have to tell ya that money is tight, seems we've all been hit with this crappy economy.... 5th wheel is preferred but might do with a bumper pull. The rolling wigwam only has a 14 foot garage and just won't do. I sure will miss the RV comfort this year. If I had my choice I'd like something like a used nascar rig with the RV combo. So yaall if ya don't mind keep yer eyes pealed for a deal...... Thanks and hope to see ya at Branson...... Grizz

Well, I have met him a few times & he is a nice guy, I guess it couldn't hurt to contact him & shoot the shitt with him, talk street rods and see what happens. Also check in the back of National Dragster magazine, They have all kinds of stuff 4-sale

Hey Phil, Gary Groustra Prez of the Northwinds Iron Indians used to build NASCAR race car haulers and run his own alcohol drag cars. He may have some connections. He also just started his own custom trailer company a few months ago.

 

ggrousta@comcast.net or PM me for his cell phone

 

Good Luck, your Hot Rod is awesome!
