Thanks for the compliment. It involves more time than money. I have put in a minimum of 12 hours building them.

These are not for sale. I hope they end up in or local Hobby Town. I just have to wait until they are mostly finished remodeling.

Here are some photo's of them together. It is now 4' X 8'. I am going to build another 2' x 8' section this week for the other side of the peak. I will have to rearrange the garage some more to fit it in there.

Default Crawl Port

I finished the 3rd one today. They all had to move out of the garage and under the car port. Pics below

The undercut ontop of the bridge looks even more brutal now. Chassis Twister Alley didn't turn out bad either. You was able to bully the burlap in place.

I got it all together and drove on it today.

The tunnel is a tight fit for a stock LCC.

That tunnel is tight....might have to break out the chisel and redo that section.

If you stick with 4' x 4' ones, you could keep them in the 150 lbs range. I have one that is 4' x 6' that is approx. 250 lbs.

Here's a link to both places on Google:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&sour...5&ie=UTF8&z=13

The road that it's on Louisville/Hwy 80 (however you want to look at it) will take in straight the KT Raceway. Just take the Exit 115 - Stella/Mill St and follow Mill street to the Louisville Bridge. HobbyTown is just on the right, right before you cross the river.
