[@DownEastSaw]

Cameron, can you please put a little effort into approaching the companies whose components you use, for video sponsorships? Truth is, no one would ever go in the phone book or ask a friend looking for nutritional advice and would end up at you. You build race cars, not fully balanced diets. No one needs those gummies. NO ONE.

Great news and as always great progress, but i would like to point out that the audio was a bit jumpy, not good for those or us that use headphones, i don't a lot of the time, but just shouting out for those that do, if i notice it, then they certainly will.

Yes mullet trailer

[@onefastermonte85]

Yes mullet 1.0 trailer. I said that originally. Also. Mullet 2.0 needs a removable bed to take tires on and off.

Or hinge the bed so it lifts up like a backwards funny car.

Unrelated to this video: I watched the Cleetus video of Eagle doing a wheelie on the dyno. You guys have to be proud of your fabrication, seeing the chassis rise without distorting and twisting under such power. Nice job, guys.

Imagine a dragweek trailer with a complete rear end and suspension that could be swapped into the racecar if something breaks.

[@naufalkusumah2192]

I wouldn't recommend putting expensive race suspension and rear end on the trailer chassis and driving it around on the street with bad roads and potholes etc. Better just put regular suspension on the trailer and carry the spare parts inside it, much safer and economical

[@jeffreygrivas]

Doing it this way as a backup suspension would save room in the trailer for more parts to fix the car. The event is drive and drag, so the cars suspension is already exposed to road conditions. Sounds like a great idea.

[@naufalkusumah2192]

@@jeffreygrivas I understand the logistical pov, but actually some of the drag n drive participants swap their race damper with a less expensive one during the driving part (Steve Morris talked about this in his video). And generally you dont need a whole spare rear end cuz its quite stout, so you bring only the spare axles and pinion gear in the trailer

[@aussiegonz]

then what you put the broken parts onto the trailer as its now going to need parts for the drive. they dont have time for that method either compared to just carrying spares.

[@AB-80X]

The race suspension should not be run on the car, let alone on a heavy trailer. There's a reason why the guys running big power has a set of shocks for racing and a set for the drive.

[@eddiegruber6469]

Make mullets bed a drag week trailer and then make mullet full carbon 😎

[@robertscottdunn]

Yes! Make the old Mullet bed into a trailer. Make the top a tonneau cover that’s strong enough to carry extra wheel/tires and cargo, or make a cab-height camper shell to enclose the extra cargo.

[@dwight8269]

A Drag Week trailer would be sweet.

[@John_Conner222]

Of course having the original Mullet rear end as a trailer would be amazing. No other car on the road would be like it AND it would continue to make some people cry. Its a win win!

[@Icewalldefenseforce]

[@rodmailloux8156]

That would make a cool trailer. Especially if you could incorporate part of the cab into it.

Castlemaine rod shop in Australia put a Ferrari engine into a Holden torana with a 2 speed power glide. It would be possible maybe hit them up on how they did that conversion There is videos of the build on KZbin

[@RandomName100]

The only similarity is that it’s exotic. The Ferrari engine goes in the front, and should reasonably be a v12, while the Lamborghini v10 goes in the back. Different engines and different challenges to mate it up to something and or making it fit.

[@4nk8r]

Knew trans adapter would be challenge, looking forward to the video. As for the mullet trailer 100% HELL YES😂

[@MrZabel08]

Put a topper on the bed for the tools and such, weld the roof back up and mount the hitch on the firewall. Give some storage in the cab area, then utilize the doors for the storage of the doors not bring in use.

[@davidzimmer2694]

Happy New Year CJRC. Looking forward to seeing you soon.

[@Cantthinkofahandle117]

Yes, Mullet bed with a topper. But it has to be made to look like it started life as a trailer by design. I've seen plenty of pickup beds converted to trailers and they just look like somebody is dragging around a pickup bed. The front needs some bodywork that makes it look like a trailer designed to look like the back half of an ElCamino. I hope that's makes sense.

[@marcusvaughters1825]

Yes, that would be great. Turn it into a drag week trailer

[@elijahwright912]

100% should do that because at first when I found out that the car itself was not gonna be reused. Cletus should’ve kept it as a car either used it for a burnout car or put it next to the freedom factory helmet and put it on display when he first pulled into the track you would see mullets body right there but at this point, you should 100% turn that bed into a trailer would be absolutely sick

[@bigcurt6]

Yes 100% make mullets back a trailer that would be awesome

[@mfceo6.018]

Yes! The “mullet trailer” is an awesome idea! Drag and drive trailers are all the same, mix it up and knowing what y’all are capable of I know it will be cool.

I was one of those folks. Keep the B pillars and build the front into a upright cabinet of sorts to mount electrical and all other shit in, allowing the entire bed to be storage. maybe some flip up/out work benches and tool boxes uses gas struts and shit..

[@warrenmichael918]

@@johnslawnseasttn4489 I have an old 60s ford bed trailer. I agree its ugly as heII but its for hauling wood and trash so it serves my purpose. I agree about the el camino bed being being pretty short/shallow to haul much but it is going to be more about it being from OG Mullet. They arent going to be using Mullets rear end and suspension i bet. They will make a nice trailer frame and skin it with MUllets body. Yje ONLY reason this is even being considered is because of all the flack they caught when they cut it in half. This will be a good attempt to please the guys that were all butt hurt.

[@R6AAO]

Yes a turbo 400 will fit a lamborghini v10 BUT the t400 needs either an adapter plate or a custom bell housing. The major issue you'll have is the engine might not like being attached to 3 gears as it is built for 6 gears and more. You might have better results attaching a mustang 10 speed box to the v10...

[@stick004]

I work in the aerospace industry. It’s interesting to hear you describe 6061 aluminum as really stout. Because we consider it junk and only make fixtures out of it because it’s soft as butter. Almost everything we make is 7025, 7050, or 7085 aluminum.

[@nobuddy1364]

But strong enough for many purposes, inexpensive, and you can machine it with a butter knife.

[@CGT80]

You mean "AIRCRAFT" grade 6061 isn't 100% full skookum? Maybe it is only 60% full skookum...........as if full is anything other than 100%. Apparently, it doesn't bend for shit either. My metal supplier recommended a different alloy for bendable sheet. It is great for machining parts and weighs less. I just wish my 1965 Miller goldstar 330 abp had square wave or modified waves and frequency for welding it. 460 amps is hot as hell but not so great when you can't focus the power. Advertising is a joke, obviously. Stout, strong, heavy, fast, expensive, beautiful, cheap, smart, old..............all relative terms.

[@stick004]

@ , “aircraft grade” only means the chemical make up of the 6061 is guaranteed to be more precisely: aluminum (97.9 %), magnesium (1.0 %), silicon (0.6 %), copper (0.28 %), chromium (0.2 %), and a trace amount of other elements. Its rarely used for structural components. 95% of the time if we a machining it, it is for fixtures or for mockup parts that a not meant for flight. Why? Because it’s cheap. It’s also too soft for flight.

[@CGT80]

@@stick004 What you haven't addressed is, why is 6061 called aircraft grade? Was it previously used before the 7000 series became the choice, or has 7000 series always been available and used along side 6061?

[@stick004]

@@CGT80 , not all 6061 is”aircraft grade.” Like I said above, aircraft grade is certified to have a specific composition. Anything that doesn’t meet that stringent criteria, becomes regular 6061. 7000 series wasn’t always available, but the certification process of composition is required for all materials. Our company has an entire department just to make sure that what we receive is what we ordered. And the customer (ie Lockheed, Boeing, Northup, etc.) also gets all of the certifications that come with the material when they get every finished part. It’s a lot of paperwork, but they design these parts to function at near 100% threshold, not much safety margin. So I can cut .001” too much off a $20k part and it’s scrap. Always better to machine to nominal or the high side of the tolerances…

A Mullet trailer would look cool, but as a trades person and fabricator and after having my truck all setup with boxes vs. working out of a plain pickup or sometimes my K5, the dedicated drag week trailers they have set up would be much nicer to work out of. If you guys could keep the functionality but get the looks of the original Mullet, then it would be worth it.

[@naturelovertx]

EZ-Go also makes Carry-all carts which are all aluminum except for the nose and seats. They are basically golf-carts with an aluminum tilt-bed instead of a golf bag rack. You should see if you can find a carry-all short bed to put on the back of the golf-cart to make it a functional pit vehicle. It would be fun to see a carry-all micro-pickup pushing Cream-puff into the lanes.

YES mullet trailer. SPEED GEMS in Wisconsin makes all kinds of engine transmission adapters, give them a ring. I think your v10 is a O1E VW pattern. Also DomiWorks in Germany makes a v10 audi and hurcan engines to BMW transmission adapter, but given that the cad for the Chevrolet pattern is so widely available they should be able to help with making a adapter or you can pay them for the cad work.

For the adapter all you need is a 1/2inch plate that bolts to Lamborghini block with countersunk bolts,that the T400 then bolts to like normal, and make a 1/2inch crank spacer again with countersunk bolts to crank,which T400 flex plate then bolts to,you can, if you have room, bolt the starter to the adapter plate
