Hey guys.

I'm new to this sport/hobby but not new to customizing/fabrication.
I owned my own off-road shop for a few years and built many typical krawlers as well as a few high end ones for customers. Tried a lot of new things,some worked,some not so much. Lots of engine conversions,roll cages,SAS,4 link,3 link, etc.
I'm also building a Triumph bobber motorcycle and a 30 ford tudor street rod.

I just got into the Baja thing a few months ago with a couple of guys and found this site and thought this was the place to find the do's and don'ts.

Desert racing is a lot different from rockrawling.

thanks for letting me be here.

Welcome to the Site.
Are you thinking about building a Class 3?

Sounds like you've had your share of cool build projects.
Got any pics of some of your past work? http://thewebwheeler.com/forums/images/smilies/16.gif

I hope you like it around here & stick around.
How did you learn of this site? :confused:

I will post up some pics this weekend.

I am building/repairing a class 3 EB for a team that has had some bad luck the past few times out.

I found the site through a "class 3"google search.

very sweet looking rigs. Bet those things fuel a guys ego after a few cans of coorage. There probably isn't much they can't go over, around, through?

I know this is a class 3 site but post pics of the progress on your bike and Tudor. I've always wanted a chopped four door Model A.

Love the bike and love the crawler. Nice work on both. Awesome to see such diversity in a fabricator/builder. Welcome to C3R!

Hey Unique,

Take a look at this. I've been corresponding with the seller in Ventura County. Though I don't need another project I've always wanted a Model A fordor. And it's something I can stash away in my garage until I have the funds to work on it.
