Post by VinceAtReal4x4s »

This just went by on the 405 highway in the Los Angeles area, headed south! Not an everyday event. :shock:

It's here in San Diego. The new owner takes it up to Blossom Valley Hangglider/Paraglider port on weekends. When I go up there, you will see 2 C303's.

Mod's...
Oh yes, already welded the whistle into the exhaust. Soon she will be rollin on chrome 20"s with spinners.

Tatanka has provided an attractive Quote for all parts sans side doors and roof hatch (doors and hatch out of stock) for the TGB11 back half. Need to get quotes on logistics from Tatanka's yard to my yard here in San Diego. At the same time my yard is full of steel and the warehouse is full of aluminum and other alloys. So weighing the options,

- Go with Tatanka TGB11 parts
- Build our own
- Section the existing truck bed (it's too damn long) Image

So, no curb feelers? They have some with LED's at the tips!

Nothing like the real parts. You can also resell it someday that way. Otherwise they usually end up as franken monsters nobody wants. I think the pickup bed idea is kinda cool, if that's how you use it.

looks like you need to chop the tray back to the rear cross member. I am assuming its the 92" wheelbase model.

Tatanka can easily get parts to you, They got me a Volvo cabin and doors 8500nautical miles around the world.

All is good.
I shortened the bed so it looks right (need to post pics). Have had some health issues but got myself back up and about. Took her out to Blossum Valley Glider Port Saturday and Sunday for some flying. You should join us sometime, I'll PM you with my contact info.

Cheers
Philip
