judson County buggy
D-train - August 8th, 2012 at 08:17 AM

So, whoever was at valla most prob saw this, if u didnt, ur eyes must of been painted on.

but, heres a little tale, Brent from melbourne rang wantin to see if i could look at it for him, so i did. a deal was made so i loaded it.

all full of xcitement, calls were swapped an ideas thrown about for puttin a beater engine in it for valla for fun, which was a good idea....

then i had a thought an presented it to brent, take the body an slap it on the oval pan, it runs, it stops, it turns, but best of all, its force fed by judson..

so Macca came over an gave me a hand to body swap, hooked up a tank (raised 1-1/4" to clear the tie rods) an took it for a spin.

brent turned up b4 valla an loaded the cb. due to recent activity an legal issues it wasnt driven as intended at valla, but pushed/towed around for shits an giggles..

at the end of the day, it was for a joke an to raise eyebrows which i can prob say it did.

massive thanks to brent for buyin the cb an been just as xcited to strap it to a judson, prob the 1st an only cb powered by judson in the world.
ray for lendin me his trailer, macca for his scooby doo an given me a hand lifting the body on an off, tom for helpin dismantle it, an ginge for his constant laughin at me an shakes of his head..

an especially bree for puttin up with all my shit constantly...

enough jibber jabber, heres some pikchars

I have always said that it is great to see any CB back on the road. This unit is nothing different.
One thing I can state definatively
The CB has been a head turner for many years ,usually drawing the "WTF" comments.
Well done guys, sorry I was not at Valla to see it.

Just one critical comment from a CB eccentric- Pity the plastic chair was not painted to match into the paintwork as it stood out like dogs proverbials in white.

Plastic chairs were not part of the display Bill :D

Because it was so cold the night before, I had put on every layer of clothing I had with me.

At some stage during the evenings activities, my chair reached the limit of it's SWL and collapsed and died.

The plastics were replacements. I got two just in case from Nambucca Oppe Shoppe for $2. Best money I spent all weekend ;)

Massive thanks to Dion and Maca for all of their work making it happen :tu:

its funny tho, because of the cb body shape u cant really tell how low it was, obviously the rear is limited without cutting an welding, but the pan head was cms off the ground

I thought telecom rope seatbelts were in order ;)
nice job boys

FYI Dion, the underside of the body has rub marks from the rear wheels, so there wasn't much room. You judged it perfect. :cool:
