I'd hate to meet the "shagee" that could bounce those springs...

Doesn't the 'shagger' do the bouncing while the 'shagee' just transmits the motion so to speak?

That would depend upon whom is shagging who and "positioning"...Switching gears, I admire the work on the roof of the "HUP-like" Ford.

RH....
You are conversing with a "sheep shagger" and they are a different breed of cat altogether..I met a few in my days of northern service that were big enough to bend the springs on a MACK...burnt diesel they did...Hugh...
Good thing I wasn't paying by the pound.....
On an airman's pay in those days cheap whiskey and more draggin' than most guys had hanging was the ticket...
More tales to come at Gracies on the 16th..be there...

Default Concerns......

If driven only in parades fine..... but off road that expensive and well done roof "sheet" metal may trun to "shit" metal....... when the long frame flexes something will have to give...... even the short wheel base CGT and FGT had a flex joint in the cab 13.....

But I must say nicely done and impressive.....

More BS on Friday....
