Title: Awesome C5 spy shot!
Post by: ScooterBob on December 02, 2009, 01:54:28 pm
This little beauty was spied outside the Skunk Werks at CMW ..... Hmmmmm - It doesn't look like an ORDINARY C5 ....... The boys may be up to something again!

  And of course Scooter Bob had nothing to do with it, right?

Why such a narrow ramp?

Since I am going to win that C5 in 9 days time, I have to ask, did the 19" front rim require wrenching on the mud guard?

Cool!  They're giving away two of them now?  I'm winning one as well!   :P

Gentle Modification Techniques were used. Nothing larger than a three-pound sledgehammer or any bigger than a #2 cutting tip on the oxy-acetylene torch was used - Hahahaha!! It's pretty much a drop fit ......   ::)

A 19 for the front will be my next project, has to be better.

Well, Br. Scoot, the term awesome might just be an understatement... and, due to my curious nature, I have the two following questions:

1. Any chance of getting a true profile spy shot of Frankie?
2. Is a 19" rear tire in the Skunkworks Plan, also?

A very Merry Christmas and a Very Joyous and Prosperous New Year!

Hello everyone, I think that is the classic 350 which has 19" front wheel and is a carburetor fuel system and the handle bar looks like the same we get here in India on the C500 and  350.

Brother Juan - Hold that thought on the pic - I'll see if I can break into Hangar 13 again and not get caught ..... As for the 19" baloney on the rear - no plans as of yet - although I heard that someone at CMW was just losing their minds over the wide open space over the rear tyre. Aesthetics, you know .... stay tuned! (BTW - there might even be a higher compression forged piston for the UCE being tested - one can't tell whether it's THAT - or a .50 caliber machine gun popping .... you never know what's going on in Hangar 13 THESE days ....  ::) )

Br. Scoot, I thank you for your response, which I simply love and, naturally, deserves a huge...
