I hope you will be very happy with Brian/Podium. I vetted him to build my new car. He seems like a great guy and very talented. Only reason I didn't go with him is he had just left Alumicraft and hadn't built any new cars yet on his own. It was a difficult decision for sure to not use him.

Too bad you are not ready for shakedown testing. I'll be out in G next week testing mine. Everything looks great! Only thing I'm not a fan of is the batteries being under the seat. My last car had that and I found to be a bit of a PITA

I'll be at Funco Monday am if I can assist in any way while there just let me know

For sure, I asked for the highest deductible from the start. That’s $1k. Also ditched the collision. I only care about total loss. It’s still outrageous!

They are testing a couple of cars in build behind me. Mine was there early last week. They will only be there a few hours today

I contacted Kelly, she can't write policies in Oregon. She referred me to another agent Oregon and they are supposed to send me a quote today. Doesn't sound like they know anything about these any different then the agent I already got quoted from but maybe I'll get lucky. Ha! Who am I kidding...

Forecast is improving. Now only showing wind on the first day then high 80's after that. Come on, somebody must be itching to get another trip in before you hang it up until October.

I have wheel nets, the adjustable kind that fit just about any tire. I may end up using those but thought they might be a bit of a pain given the minimal clearance between the wheels and trailer sides and wheel wells but we'll see. I also have the Mac's straps with the heavily padded straps...

Unfortunately weather forecast shows high 90’s when I get there. It’s fine though, morning and evening temps will be good and it only shows being hot during the peak of the day. I’m going to be all alone so I see many I just checked the latest weather forecast and looks like I’m in for some...

Thanks. I’m looking forward to seeing it soon. Last time I was there it was just starting assembly. Grant has been really good at sending me video updates as it has progressed. And Gary at C&G was pretty spot on with what he predicted the engine would produce. Only problem is now I have to cough...

It's a longshot but ..........Yes, I know the season has ended. Yes, I know it will be hot. But I'm picking up my new car and have to give it some good shake down time before taking it to up to Oregon. I'm picking it up in the morning on 5/12 then plan to be out in Glamis by that afternoon. I'm...

I'm in the same situation. I'll insure my new Funco for $275k and plan to only file a claim if a total loss. If you think sand rail insurance is bad trying having a big boat in Alaska - Uy vey!

I believe it is just the opposite. The spring keeps tension on the straps when the load bounces a bit on its suspension.

These were recommended on the FB Funco page so I ordered a set and will give them a try. From the videos and reviews they look pretty good. They will get a good test hauling my new car from Glamis back home to Oregon in a week...

I tried Hagerty and they would not insure mine. I have an existing policy with them for two classic cars as well but no dice on the sand car.

Yes, please. The State Farm agent I'm using got me a quote of $5400 for $275k.

All good info and thanks for sharing. I’m aware of the difference between ACV and RCV. But given State Farm is literally the only coverage I can find, beggars can’t be choosers.

Beautiful trailer - congrats! Always nice to hear when expectations are met or exceeded. Unfortunately it’s a rarity these days.

1,6,and 11. But #1 would have to change the stupid tires

If you get serious about a Renegade give me a call. I've done a bunch of research on the engine/trans options, how to get your LiPo battery and dual inverter set up and the best dealers, etc. Happy to share all with you
