next atltf build off thoughts/suggestions small talk

If you guys are serious about fabing up some trophies let me know I can't weld or anything but I have a few parts left over from an opposed twin and about to have some from a 11 hp flathead I can send ya the piston and cams and maybe weld up the piston and cam some how or another for the first place winner and find some kinda wood for the base them sit on

So for the next build off, I was thinking of making a sort of replica of a steel wheeled tractor only lawn tractor sized. Possibly powered by a maytag engine. Any idea if that will fit into the rules? [/color]

I think the problem there, might be the engine. I know they type you're talking about. not sure if it falls under the heading of OPE engine. Could probably grant you a pass on that one, because it's in the right spirit.

Glad to see everyone brain storming ideas for this next build off, this is great and exactly what the forum needs I know some forget or work alot or even school but we can't let this forum become a thing in the past but it will take off again eventually and I think the last build off drawer alotta new people in from that, but yea admins are here to help check on behavior keep some of us in line to remind us hey don't cross that line lol but yea I'm rambling now but yes they paid out of there pockets for prizes but I never did see none of the winners post there prizes tho which I'm shocked unless I didn't see it but I woulda been blasting that stuff every where lol

I want to enter into a build off... but it might get kicked out :\ ....

Well, i'll see how things go. I might change my mind and come up with a different engine option in the meantime anyway.

Didn't receive yet. If it gets in before the next build off starts, then it's "legal". I think that's the rules...

Yea I kinda dropped the ball getting them out. Major thing I need to work on next year.

Theyre coming though.

Still ain't recited what your prizes!!!! Wow

Yeah, but like I said, they just have to get here before the next build off starts for things to be official. We're not over the deadline yet... Actually, Doug fackler had the prizes in his garage next to a huge stack of stuff as high as the ceiling. He was moving some things around cleaning up and the whole pile fell over. He's been looking through the garage for monthes trying to find them. Here's a picture of the problem...


He tells me he thinks he is getting close though, because he found a couple of the prizes and the other ones should be close by. You see, they were all sitting in about the same general area when the pile collapsed...

Thats almost an understatement lol.

Yep, it's on the way...

Two went out, 3 more to go lol. Everything is together just gotta box em. Will go out this week.

Next year everything WILL be done at least a month before buildoff deadline so I have time to package stuff. But who knows what there are for prizes next year.

lol thats good i think we need all member's on suggestions for what could be the prize's for the next atltf build off, I have a local shop that can make up any kinda trophy you would like with a name engraved and all i can check and see pricing one day if you admin would like for me too does great work does it for all the basketball and football teams here in our town!! just let me know if you guys would be interested im sure it wouldnt cost to much i could help out in some way

We've got plemty of time to consider prizes. I'd like to see more feedback on the competition itself so that we can proceed with scheduling.

When is the start date for this again? I might be able to enter it this year if everything goes right with the army and the VA.

That's the hope! That's also assuming I actually enter! Dang, I hope I can do this. I was going over some ideas yesterday, and holy cow. I'm biting off quite a mouthful. But- even if I'm not sure if I can finish in time, I might enter anyhow. Keep things entertaining.

Should enter in last minute like I did and have the whole thing spaghetti at the end.

is February yet ffs
