    A customer-friend emailed me with these pics that he saw on a Mini Truck forum on Facebook. Have these been posted here yet? They may have, I've been so busy I haven't had much time to get onto forums lately.

    Years back I did a deep weld in c-notch on MacRibs truck and I'm 99% sure this is or was his truck. Alex (SD YOTA) will most likely know.

    It appears the pics are small and hard to see. I was able to enlarge them in email, but they're pretty small here, sorry.

    Somebody didn't have "The Talk" with that truck. It has to mount the roadster from the back in order to mate with it. And besides, that roadster's just an old cougar thats had a lot of "work" done. Sure, it looks flashy, but its age will show once the new paint fades. Tell it to find a cute little Prius and it'll be much happier. :p

    Hmm mm I wonder what kind of vehicle would be the out come from those two? :thinking:
    That roadster slammed into that toy pretty hard. Maybe it was going for the push and pray method?

    I saw those on another site and figured it was someone from here since it looked familiar.

    That really hurts to look at. Would like to know the story behind that one.

    Yes Alan's truck. The hot rods brakes failed.. SD Yota said it runs and the next day he would be checking to see if the frame was damaged. Haven't heard anything since then.. He is rebuilding..

    Looks like the frame is bent pretty badly in the rear shot. The body line ain't what I'd call straight. :lol:

    Yup, I'd do an x cab swap at the same time just because it's me and I happen to have a cab sitting around but that's another story. :lol:
