Car show season here starts April 6 - 10. That will mean either 5 days of really lousy weather, or it will be to hot to enjoy. We never seem to get the perfect weather for the car shows.

A Poker Run is a pre-determined run with stops at various places, usually 5, where you are issued a playing card, at the end of the run you turn your cards in, the best poker hand turned in wins a prize.
(simplified version)

Mike,
You are to young to be playing Poker. First start with the Ralley Races where you are times at the different points and the mileage that you have on your speedometer is also used to determine the winner. A fast reading speedometer does not help you either.

Earl, we have four barns. 1 is for working on things like cobras. 1 is for tractors and implements ( dic, plow, giant rake, etc... ). 1 is for wood ( holds several cords and has tools and other things inside ) and the last is for tractors, boat, grain, feed, seeds and several hand tools. We are currently growing trees.
Mike, What do you need??? Steel? How much cash? give the da#n details!
Ron, Kristen, I'll message you after I get back from Minn.

Yewhoo!!! Mike!!! Where are you??? A lot of people are interested in helping you with your goal of building the frame.
Where are you posting details? Over on the thread Tru started for you?? We need to know: where to send stuff. Have you gotten the plans confirmed? This sounds like a neat challenge, for us and you!!!
Give us some details!!!!
Kristen

Tru,
I will be waiting for your e-mail when you get back. Have a great trip. 
Mike, how about some more details. I second what Kristen posted.  In another month or so you can most likely buy a completed Cobra for almost nothing and tear it down to see what you want to do to yours.

hey, Earl! I don't think you can get further away in Calif. than ron is from San Diego!!! He's way at the top!!! Looks like I'm heading into Orlando Sat. 3/12, leaving Thurs. 3/17. Probably won't make it to Daytona to scrapbook, , but if it works we could at least meet somewhere. I'll PM you sooner to my trip...

Earl,
I have spent a lot of time in San Diego and that area, but Kristen is right. I am a long ways from it now. Not a bad place, but I like here much more. 
Kristen,
For hevans sake, if you are going to spend that much time in Florida, you can go to see Earl. He will be at the beach with the girls.

I had a bunch of details wrote up that took me 30mins to write, then the comuter decided to shut off. #%!*$&&#$%$&^$&#**&$%@#!!  Lemme try this AGAIN.
Kristen, I go to school about an hour before you first post (I read the new posts during keyboarding.)
Tru, all I can think of that we need without the prints being physically in front of me are the twin 4" main rails. Maybe if we are not too much of a bother we can ask one of the Kirkham brothers how much of what materials they use to build their frames, since they build them to original specs as well. Im thinking of a Jaguar 9 or 8.8 inch based IRS, I need some time and ideas as to what to use on the front suspension, IFS of course. We also need one of those bender things (I can't think of what they call it, but it has a big wheel attached to two smaller wheels that puts an arc on tubing, anyone know the name of this contraption?) Mr. Howell (shop teach) said he will get a new Mig Welder for this project. I will keep all of you updated on the details. Maybe I can borrow one of my tech. teachers digital camera and take pics through out the build.
We have a Senior project meeting tomorrow, I am going to ask my advisor if I can build an engine (FE of course) instead of the house, as I think I will be getting in the way and holding up progress if I am always stopping work to take pics or ask questions. I just wanna get the friggin house DONE!

Mike,
Get a battery backup for the computer. The ones that I use will give you about 25 minutes when the power goes off. Plenty of time to save whatever you are doing and it has saved me a lot of grief several times on both computers.
I think you are referring to a Mandrell ( Yes Kristen, I know, spelling ), bender. That is what they used to bend my 3" diameter roll bar with. Makes a perfect bend with no crinkle at all in the underside.

you go to school an hour before my first post, but yes, I don't usually post until the i'm showered, dressed, 'madeup', kids are fed, dressed, lunched boxed, sent to school, breakfast is cleared and tidying for the day has begun. i feel like half my day is done before 8 am!!!! oh, and tomorrow I 'get' to take kids to school, as hubby is gone for the night. And, it's Wednesday!!! Scrapbook day!!! It makes 'hump' day the best day of the week.
so, regarding your frame. Can we keep frame topic over on the frame thread??? It's too confusing to jump from one to the other!!! Ron, is that a Mandrell, as in Barbara??!!!
I'm sure at some point I'll see Earl!! I'll be at the 'beach'? in disney with the girls, too! (2 of 'em)
It's gonna be a tight week; the trailer and cobra have to be loaded before I even go to Florida, so that when I get home Thursday evening I re-pack and head to Austin first thing Friday morning! Wow!! By myself. Sounds goooooodddddd.....
The logisitics expert at work..... Just trying to figure out how to make Tulsa (mid america) and Spring Fling work. Besides the fact that I DO have a family, and am expected to be around some this summer!!!! baseball, softball, etc..... I have to get my new tires before I get back on the track.... so much to do, and now I have this big ol school project I stupidly volunteered for.......

Ok, ill post the details on the frame thread from now on. Maybe.
Ron, no, its not a mandrel bender, I have seen it on monster house when they put an arc on a piece of square stock....
It has two little wheels stacked on top of each other like this:

()
and right beside them there is a larger wheel used to turn the top wheel to force the stock into the the center of the two and puts an arc in it.
