Now . . . and then. Yep, still driving the Toyota Tacoma.

Mike, Congrats on the sale. When will the Stalker show up?

Well, it's old news now, but I've purchased my old car back from Mike Sharkey, who originally bought the car from me with it being about 80% complete at the time of purchase. Mike did a great job of finishing the car and it should be back in hand by Tuesday, August 7. The photos below are recent shots taken by Mike that he sent to me. The car will be arriving with 15" wheels/tires. A set of 17" wheels/tires (see pic below) will be arriving with the car as Mike had plans of installing these at a later date. I have ideas for sourcing fenders, but will graciously and humbly entertain yours ideas as well.

Mike, Great looking car. Is it a live-axle rear end or IRS? Shane

Mike, Thanks. Looking forward to having it back. BTW, what chassis # is your Stalker? And is it an M-spec? Shane

Hello all, Mike purchased this car from me in late 2007 with it being about 80% complete. Mike finished the car and has owned it ever since. I have purchased the car back from Mike and it is headed back to Arknsas.

Gret looking car!!! What wheels are you running?

Good gracious!!! All this talk of R this and R that, and LH this and RH that. Aren't they all rare and fast? :banghead:

Beautiful car. A few questions: Did you tune the Haltec or was this done elsewhere? What make LSD (Subaru, Quaife, are you using are what is the gear ratio? Is the tranny gearing close ratio or wide ratio? Thanks.

Man, I hate spell check . . . back when he (Brian) owned the car . . . photo 'shoot'.

austin sr, I know Brian Anderson personally and took Goldie out for a spin back when owned the car (not long after the photo shiot). I remember Goldie as being a well-designed, well-built car. Good luck with the sell.

Sent you a PM

Did the sale go through?

Can you provide current pics? Thanks

Too much horse power is nearly enough . . . and about that cage. :willy_nilly:

Price?

A few more questions. You say the engine is new. Is this a crate engine, rebuild, etc? Do you have hp and torque numbers? How many miles on the engine? Is the tranny a close or wide ratio? What clutch are you running? Thanks.

Can you post engine pics?

Have you tracked the car and do you have any performance numbers?

Too much HP is nearly enough! :willy_nilly:

Anybody have a TAP? :cheers:

Jack, Nice to hear from you. All is well . . . and very busy with school starting back. As for powdercoating the Brooklands, any powdercoating facitilty should be able to handle this, but make sure you only powdercoat where you want and not where you don't; such as inside the frames where the glass is held and mounting threads. It's very difficult to remove once applied. Any pre-drilled/pre-sized holes will have to be redrilled as the powdercoat will decrease the hole size.
