Anaximander Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) Shane, The Stalker adventures for autocross and general street blats continues. Only this time, my car and new-to-me Stalker tilt trailer I got from Brit after he sold his Stalker XL are in the same bay of one of my garages. Note the really cool tripod floor mount trailer ball piece that I had a local machine shop make up that I bolted to my garage floor with (3) 3.5" Red Head concrete bolts. I just drive the Stalker off the trailer for a local blat and come home and drive it back up on the tilted trailer until the tilt is no longer there, shut the Stalker off and secure the intermediate ball hitch latch you can see just behind the spare tire. The person tasked with making the device got overly exhuberant and used their 60,000 PSI water jet to cut the base. Thankfully, the shop foreman realized the overkill and did not charge me x3 for the water jet usage. The piece is so stout that I could probably take a 25 mph run up the trailer, slam on the brakes and the floor mount would likely not even quiver. This retirement is killing me. I was coerced (:smash:) into making a 3400 mile roundtrip drive a couple of months ago to Gila, NM to round up a fully computerized (tracking/GOTO) 28" f/3.58 Kennedy/Webster Newtonian telescope that was in need of rehabbing from someone like myself who knows how to do that. It gives me something to do on those clear Florida nights when the stars/planets/galaxies etc. and or partial Moon are up and the Stalker is resting. This might begin to explain the handle Astro Bob instead of Stalker Bob. Shane, I just realized that you might be wondering about what happened to the blue Stalker #94 that I had gotten from Jim. It had the 3.8L N.A. engine which was really fine. However, a fellow out in Oklahoma had completed #156 with a 3.8L SC and only driven it 2k miles before I went out and picked that up a couple of months ago. I sold the blue, red and white Stalker to a fellow in Virginia who is tickled with his new ride. Edited July 8, 2017 by Astro Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
