June 21, 200421 yr ooo that look painfull and i aint only talking about you hope you can fix her, seems a pitty to loose yet another ea81
June 21, 200421 yr Author Oh, no...Trashwagon 5 survived this with precious little damage (we lost some foglights...) Good thing too, as we were still SIX HUNDRED MILES from home when they did this... The fuel pump wiring came undone, but five minutes and we were back on the road. Trashwagon 5 didn't really "bite it" until Memorial Day Weekend (after shooting...) and it will probably be resurrected when we promote the movie on next year's Hot Rod Power Tour. -Tim Hansen
June 21, 200421 yr I can't wait to see this movie! What you need is a Jackie Gleason type cop in some cut aways commenting on things like SMokie and the Bandit.
June 21, 200421 yr That must be the fog lights kicking up so much dirt in the front cuz it doesnt look like the bumper is hitting the ground... yet LOL When you guys said 'baja'n around in iowa' you were seriouse!
June 21, 200421 yr I don't know if this has already been asked, butwhat program are you using to edit the video? Are you using a mac or a PC? one more question, how long until you finish? thanks,
June 22, 200421 yr Author I'm using Final Cut Pro on UW/M's Macs. I'd be using my PC but I can't afford RAM right now... Should have it done the end of August. -Tim Hansen
June 22, 200421 yr Hey, this is cool! So is this the official status thread then? I'd like to keep track of this until the film comes out.
June 22, 200421 yr myoss feece behind the wheel, that one wasnt so bad, all the plume of iowa dirt took the brunt of the impact. but the next run with me behind the wheel was a lot worse since the first run shaved a portion of the mound away. pushed the bumper up a but, but no worry. well, once we got home and got arrested and baled out and got the car out of impound and installed a driveshaft and rear axles to complete the 4wd conversion, she bit it a lot harder in the pit in st joe, further pushing th e bumper up some more. well, i fixed it with a section of railroad tie bungeed down to tha battery trat and a sledgehammer, straightened her right up. car looked good until i ro-neeced my b-pillar powersliding into trogdors blindly parked wagon's bumper, just to hit a tree shortly thereafter. let me say that there was no alcohol involved in iowa, and now she has donated her goodies to a beefed up 3-door as corky would call it, watered down rx as anyone else would call it, the "TRASH3DOOR" , "T3D", and "fastback 2-door wagon(trashwagon7[superficially]) as i would call it sorry tim, trashwagon 5 has got to go, she has sen her purpose and her day. the story has been told, but the leganus continues! i see trashwagon8 in iowa (trashwagon will skip a number, as trash3door is unoficially trashwagon7, and subiemech has claimed deebo on trashwagon7 moniker himself. can we say carpeted 83 turbo wagon, ea82T and 5spd, and can we say ea82 spfi(or maybe ej22 and ft 5spd) 84 GL-10 sedan with 5lugs(trashwagons modified front suspension) and from 2wd 5spd converted(trashwagon's rump roast end) and dual exhaust? *i got a set of nice chrome bumpers and a taillight!* anyway the car will soon be junk. omni-source cant have her, as they ripped me off out of my aluminum. i think the railroad tracks would be a more respectable demise! (how do you take the vin plate off?) ok, i guess omni-souce will have to do, but not without a bunch of rocks, bricks, and dead batteries!
June 22, 200421 yr As I have personally experienced, small rotary tool with cut off wheel, and a drill, problem solved Yes, my car is trashwagon 7 no, I did not play on that sand, but I did find a suitable hole to mess up my rear bumper
