    This is huge. No, huge is an understatement. This is massive. You can measure first downs with this rig! Snapper's buggy is definitely one of a kind.
    So on top of being by far the largest vehicle I've driven to date its also the most difficult, thanks a ton to Snapper for letting me crunch gears in his one of a kind hot rod!

    Now you can drive a semi. It's much easier(less gear grinding) when you learn to "float" the gears or " speed shifting" without using the clutch except to start off and coming to a complete stop.

      Even going from one car to another requires getting used to the "new" one. It took courage to try something new.

      I don't know if you saw but I linked to his video there at the end, it came out pretty good! and I think it would make it a lot more user friendly with an auto but on the flip side thats part of the charm, its cool because its not as easily accessible. It was realllllllly hard to figure out, especially if you've never done it lol

    • @TheP5ychoJoe13
      @TheP5ychoJoe13 Před 7 lety

      Welp since you answered so quick, I'm curious how hard it is to register a custom ride like that for street use? Toying with the idea, but still a long way from even looking for a rat or kit to build out of.

    • @NeilABullock
      @NeilABullock  Před 7 lety +1

      +TheP5ychojoe13 well from my understanding basically what you would do is register it as the original vehicle (depending on state laws. Some are stricter than others. You could just move to Florida. Then you can register literally anything with wheels.) it all depends on how you approach it. Most kit cars (dune buggies, factory five cars etc) use the donor vin and are just registered as kits. It shouldn't be difficult at all! Just a quick google search concerning local law will give you a great idea. Also check forums, you're not the first to try this and someone, somewhere, documented it.
      Give me a holler when you start the project, I'd love to see what it shapes up to be!

      An ellipses is usually three periods (...) placed in succession to indicate an omission of an irrelevant detail. Stacking comas in succession while not grammatically correct indicates that you were omitted from learning anything higher than 3rd grade English.
