| no fast and stupid here.
The jato is good for one thing rippin warp 9 down the street And rippin tires off the rims.I dont have one and have no intrest in one.It is however the badest stadum truck out there.The body is very light, it and the skid way only a few oz.And my trucks overall hight is really short but it still has good breakover angle.I run old school import cars 1975 and older.no shoping cart impersonations here thanks.  |

), I printed a 1:1 drawing of the hole pattern on sticky paper. I then cut out the ring on the paper, placed it on the aluminum ring, then center-punched the locations of the holes. Then I drilled the holes out on the drill press.Kind of a PITA, but they turned out pretty good. I'll try to get some better pics of them tomorrow. -WRM | |

| yea... its mine.
someone said some thing about fast and ....... movie refrence witch is a move I hate  .And some one asked if I have a jato .For those who dont know I manage a hobby store,we hold drags there,and the unlimited class winner is non other than a jato w\os 18tm motor in it .IT can clear 132feet in first gear in under 3 sec.Witch makes it a hard truck to beat.Rich is the master at fab work and maybe if your nice to him he'll make you some for a small fee. |
