That 20 is going to be great in the dunes. I'm having a hell of a time trying to track down an 18" rim and spokes to lace up my extra hub with.
My in at Excel does not even know when they are coming in as the demand is just gone.

Niice - Cal City is fun. My last trip there, we were off of Cadillac Blvd. (Next to Chrylser). Found a little track there too.

Thanks Mike, I actually found one at Rocky Mtn and they even had spokes in stock, so it's on the way.

I'm working on it fellas it's a bitch to weld lots of helium and it took an hour to weld not to mention making the manifold. I'm working on another idea I think will work just as good much less time. Then there's Bob who wants his double ended :lol:

Mike,
I'll drop one of my 2 into 1 adapters in the mail to you along with Goodyear heater hose #'s if you want to whip up a billet one and use mine as a starting point.
