oldskoolvws Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Primarily plant engineering now. In a former life I used to be a vehicle test equipment guy. Worked on cool shit like this: http://www.bepco.com/index.php/products/end-of-line-systems and this http://foriauto.com/fori_website_1/Products/EndofLineTesting/tabid/71/language/en-US/Default.aspx Quote Link to comment

oldskoolvws Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Shit, I wish. The extra hours does give a little more leeway to buy crap though... Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted November 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 So he is all tied up this week for starters,but he said he can do the metal work for about 325.00 powder coat it if you want for 50.00 and you just make your own wood slates.That is just a first idea.Also for the guys that can paint you can save on that cost and do yourself so will keep you posted.

piraterumm Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 anyone got any ideas on where to get one like the sake samurai? Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted November 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 I dont know if any body has one.Thats the direction i am going in but not like that. Quote Link to comment
piraterumm Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Well I can kinda guess the dimensions of the rack but i was wondering what the blue print was. but i am guessing its about 20ft of pipe. and 4.5 ft by 3 ft of bamboo. Assuming more footage of bamboo for mistakes. Quote Link to comment
DatDoug Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 This one looks homemade and pretty cool,,,, the truck is on here somewhere cuz my son took these at a Ratsun meet...couldn`t find any more pictures of it though.. I think all but 2 of the Datsuns in this picture have been sold or traded away Me & Taco made this one out of an old VW rack. He cut & welded & I made the slats. Quote Link to comment

mrbigtanker Posted December 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 So next week its going in to get measured mocked up and i will post pictures hopefully.Once again if you are interested in one i am having them do the metal work only and have it ready to bolt on/Powder coating or paint and wood can be done by you to keep cost down,I hope.Or if you want him to do it thats up to you.If you like it i will let you contact the guy himself i have no desire to make money off any one here just helping out on stuff we dont need on our trucks.thanks Quote Link to comment
