Well the van will be a daily beater once he beefs up the suspension. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
I do hear where you are coming from though. I've seen some mean setups that are in daily driven vehicles that can still be USED as daily driven vehicles. Back seats, storage, etc.

Keep in mind that this is hank's demo vehicle and bassrace machine. He has other cars that can be turned into "daily" machines as well. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

He did have a build log of his escalade somewhere (he no longer has that car), I believe it might be over on ROE. Impressive build as well, but is nothing like this current build.

And you have to remember that this van is built to compete in the 150-159.9 bassrace class, a class that only a handful of guys can max out (i can only think of 3 other people besides 2000lade). It's the elite of elites and even if it's not in your taste you have to give them props for being able to accomplish such huge numbers. If it's not your cup of tea, then thats fine. But don't make it sound like any old joe schmo off the street could do it if he was handed the same equipment.

Believe it or not Bob perillo's E-150 is a daily driven vehicle also:crazy:, god know how its still running with 90 batts and 18 XXX-6500 amps

we have ran into a few bumps with painting the van. we have painted it already but had to strip it all back down and start over //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif it feels like im going backwards with this thing.

but ive got a little bit done with getting the stereo playing. still have TONS of work to do before thursday night when i leave to go to florida. we will more than likely roll the van down in primer if we dont have enough time to paint it. ***** cuz we wanted it painted but goofed and well we are payin for it now with having to redo it all over again

X2! I think I heard only 9 of 12 subs were functioning?

We kept having an amp hit protect which caused 3 of the subs to stop playing. We could get it to a mid 159 in bassrace and it would crap out and drop the score.

It could have taken at least 2nd or 3rd in bassrace but we were paired up with bob perillo first round. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

**** happens and hopefully hank and the crew can get everything sorted out. We think it might be a few bad battery cells so they are gonna tear everything out and find out the exact cause of the problem.

I'm tempted to take my truck down next year. We'll see. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

The switches on the podium are for power to the entire podium and the other one is to turn on the amps.
