nothing to brag about. just doing something different. just wanted to say thanks to kiel and charley for working on my burro/veepster.now all we need is a nice big ropin stompen T1/ CI monster and she will be complete.UD.

propper little stash of dubs tucked away :)

its Kiel and Charlie from Wolfsburg Motorsports, get it right Jeff!! hahaha

but yeah ive completely rewired the thing from scratch, rattle canned it, few little mods here and there. but this thing has come a very long way from where it started. and will continue to grow and grow into a beast. im sure jeff, you have some nifty ideas for a true powerhouse and trans to back it up with. what we really need to do, is eventually build a 6 inch widened beam and, and some 3x3's in the rear. lets keep it lookin mean! thanks Jeff, i really appreciate you trusting me and letting me work on this its been a fun project, and hope to keep doin business with ya  ;). now lets have fun!

Note to self- UD, I need to learn how to post photos of the four Burro's we have in the family. (no kidding, four) ;D
~DR.

 :o That thing is SICK  ;D I love the old Burro's - didn't Steve Mcqueen have one of them  ???

Any more pic's guys  ???

Yeah, let's get some better pictures of the windsheild.... ;D

haha... ya to show burrocuda and 2%milk everywhere? i dont think so steve hahaha, i should clean it off tomorrow

waitin on some parts :-D

things have been tight bujet wise lately. im workin on it. here you brits can relate to these tail lights. thanks to kiel for gettin them in the proper place on the burrocudda. LUCAS BABY!! the only way to light.  UD.

keep up the great work my freind. cant wait to take it for a putt even with the littel peanut whisel engine.thanks again kiel. UD.

I think a 3 litre would fit in there just fine, Jeff!

hey jhon. yea its deffenetly got the room for a WIDE ONE. UD.

You won't be needing the sawsall with this one. And you can probably R&R the engine without jacking the thing off the ground!

Hey Jeff!

yea ive got that one LOL. you know wich one i want to see MORE PLEASE. STILL SEARCHING . UD.

I actually found it, but it won't let me load it. I'll get it , though!

i say we throw the airplane tires back on, lower the psi, and take it down the track.... this thing weighs not 1 damn bit. hahaha

They're not airplane tires- they say specifically "FOR FARM USE ONLY" on the side...


...seriously, they do.

they are from farm airplanes!!!

you mean crop dusters  :D :D :D

Oh, can't argue with you there.   ;D

be careful what you say around jeff about airplanes.....next you will see frikin wings in that thing with a 3 litre in it and him trying to get clearance to take off!!! ;D

dont worry.. im the one responsible for the work on this thing.. id never put wings on this thing.. wellll.... for the right price i might ;-) hahaha

Just feed it some Red Bull...

well.. i was kinda thinking of leaning more towards Liquid Schwartz!

HERE ARE A FEW FUN UPDATED PICS  :D

dont worry jeff, we have shop insurance :-D so this thing is all ready to go, driving and all. and no, shes not ready to jump the grand canyon, we need to put on a 6inch widened beam, and if not converted to IRS and 3x3's we need long axles, and possibly some thing drums? :D

Yeah its a mellon all right.  :-*

drove it to the dounut shop this morning. yea even cly head guys need to have a little fun now and then its not to often thoe. thanks kiel and charley for all the hard work i apreisate it  ;). UD.

your welcome jeff, thanks for being a friend, and the chance to get to work with you. now for that wider beam, and long axles(atleast) and jump some dirt! ahaha

O.K. Jeff,

Here are two of our three Burro's... Mine has the fenders, was built in 1968, is powered by a 1968cc, single Zenith, has bus rear rorsion w/ reduction boxes and it's a blast to drive! I've owned it since 1990... Oh yeah, if you can make out the decal on the hood it says "Orange County Burros" and it's original.

The blue Burro belongs to my son. We found it in the local Pennysaver being sold at an estate sale... His was built in 1967 and even has black / yellow Cal. plates! It's powered by a 1776cc, single Zenith, and has Kubel reduction boxes...

Both are street legal and we love em!

~DR.

thanks dave for sharing those pictures. COOL BURROS ya got there look like alot of fun is that your flexi in the back ground if so thats bitchen NICE!! you know i cant resist a nice bus. take care dave happy holiday. UD/JD.

I'm glad you like the Burro's Jeff. We have another one that will be for sale soon.

<off topic talk>
The Flxible belongs to my oldest son Jeremy... it's a 1955 VL-100. My younger son Jason has one as well (it's a 1951-- looks more like mine). I've attached a photo of mine, a 1950 Flxible Visicoach. RV conversion done in Teak and Formica back in 1968 by a guy name John Sampo. John was one of the guys contracted to help build the Spruce Goose. Mine was one of only two Flxi's that he ever converted.

sounds like a deal. ill come by soon

That's looking like a lot of fun!  8)


That's looking like the makings of a dangerous stunt! Did Mr Steve D learn nothing from EBI?   :o

I hope not, I want to see this! ;D

Was I supposed to learn something?  I thought I was on vacation.. ;D

If you could let us know the ground clearance and the wheelbase Frank can design the ramp to the same exacting standards as the one he used in Belgium.  :)

By the way your Nachos arrived, do you want them sent on?  ;D

Look mine can do that too ;) :)

Frank used a ramp?  Did I miss something while I was on the slalom course?

Yeah, just send the nachos over, I'll assemble them when they arrive.   ;D

Kind of!  ;D


On their way.  :)

I might design somthing to go wiith a disability carriage this year, somthing i only need one hand to use ;D

Good to see you're taking a practical approach but a Burro with 3000cc or so should be capable of landing on clearing someone's head in 1st, take the gear change out of the equation and you'll be fine.

i have a weel you can have jeff ..
will be calling you tommorrow , so remind me about it .
