    Don’t think Norma would let me do that to her beetle

    Its cool looking but like any trike with one wheel in front No Handling and No going into corners with confidence...

    I took my Custom slingshot to dealer I bought it from Friday and hard to believe 8 yrs ago this month I purchased it..

    But sitting outside Rewaco Trikes.....God they are massive looking and I sat in one ..I would not want one for

    same reason ...One wheel in front......I will Keep Custom Slingshot and Vanderhall Carmel ..Two Wheels in front..LOL

  • My Slingshot just died

    Quote from Scanman

    Another disappointing update. The tech that is working on my Sling is going to be out of town all next week for training. That means I won't get another update till the 20th. I'll be lucky if I get it back before next month.

    No more to say other than just hang in there... I know I would be pissed and swearing .

    Scanman if the engine you bought is bad and they refuse to help you out then contact your credit card company and try to dispute it

    I did this the other week with a scam purchase I made on Pay Pal payment and they my credit card company

    did agree with me and reimbursed my funds that Pay Pal would do nothing about..

    So Pay Pal is doing nothing about scam asshole that is on their site stealing money ..

    I had taken pictures of the whole conversation and sent it from Facebook messenger...

    Our country and how sad it has become...

  • My Slingshot just died

    Quote from Scanman

    After talking to the service department guy, I had to OK them to remove the engine to tear it down and see why cylinder 4 has no compression. With that, I'll have a bill of just over $1900 not including repairs at that shop, $1411 at the other shop and $2700 for the engine. That puts me at just over $6000 so far. I could have bought the built engine from DDMWorks and for just a little more than I've already spent, I could have had a new engine. What the HECK was I thinking?!?!?!?

    So the replacement engine is bad ????? We all try and cut cost ... I know I did few weeks ago for windshield for Vanderhall and it was a Scam....

    Only thing I paid through Pay Pal with my credit card and PayPal did nothing to scammer but my credit Company because

    I am a excellent customer backed me and returned money to account...

    So we live in a Non Trusting country of Scammers..

    Did you call the place the motor was purchased from ????

    Hope you get it resolved ..

    I'm waiting on the shop that is supposed to be checking out a miss and check engine light. The Ft. Worth shop was supposed to take it to the Hurst, TX shop to get it checked out and fixed but I haven't heard from them even after calling. I never thought it would take this long to get it fixed. I'm very frustrated. Last week my daughter totaled my Avalanche in the school parking lot...ran into a lamp post.

    Sorry to hear on both Accounts ...Hope you can get SS back soon and hope daughter did not get hurt

    Quote from Br4hm4

    Can't tell you how many times I have been ghosted on Marketplace. I have been trying to buy a car for 6 weeks and 4 no shows, no messages after setting up a meet up time.

    And stuff out of garage and just remembered I sold my Vanderhall Venice ...

    Luck and timing I guess like anything and of course price which I sell to get rid of things and not hold on....LOL

    Quote from FunCycle

    What is this attitude for. My original statement was to say/tell what is going on with me. You are the one that asked the question. ---- ---

  • I am back

    Quote from Haste Maker

    Sold it 5 years ago to a friend & told him if he ever sold it to call me...but he didn't he sold it to someone he works with & they had it for 4 months & listed it on "Market Place" I contacted them & got it back.

    Sounds like a asshole friend I had when I sold him my 37 and ask him to let me know when tired of it and sold it behind my back..

    I needed a break from it but I built this 37 Ford on a Jeep Wagoneer chassis and of course he was a pain in the ass buyer at that..

    I have tried for years to find this truck but no luck in that

  • Noise from Rear Tire - Cyclic Rubbing or Crunching (with Video)

    maybe jack it up and let it free wheel and if you have it safe enough maybe start and put it in first gear and see if you hear something.

  • Slingshot to hot rod conversion

    Quote from SlingByron

    I worked at a Dodge dealership in the late 90's. No way is that anything Prowler. What was the engine in it?

    4.6 quad cam v8 ... all the pre productions had standard 302 type motors but they had cooler look for they did not need the big air scooper the big heads of 4.6 motor.

    After I sold mine I drove 21 hours in mini to go look and test drive pre production panel roadster and it was not even worth the ride.

    Did not handle or drive as good as the 176 production Panoz Roadsters..But sure look cool..

  • Slingshot to hot rod conversion

    Quote from SlingByron

    harleyujoe Ok What is that one? Don't think I have ever seen one of those.

    So Panoz hand built 176 roadsters 1997 to 1999 and approx 40 other test mules in Georgia...

    This was a special one with only high back bucket seats installed ...

    Was a pretty cool car..Me with my 1k Elio Shirt..LOL


    when we drove it people would yell luv your Prowler and she would say its not a fu'''' Prowler its a Panoz...LOL
