Possible T-Rex Build Coming Soon

September 30th, 2009 | Category: General Mayhem

I’ve been speaking with a guy that has a 2007 Campagna T-Rex frame & body for sale. It’s JUST a bare frame and wheels. No suspension, engine, electronics, seats, nothing. Just a bare frame and some panels. It’s a pretty good price, but friends and forums highly advise against it. But then again, would be a fun build progress to follow maybe? Maybe I could get Campagna to sponsor part of the build since EVERYONE coming to Rally Duc now is searching for Rex info. I guess in a way it’s still “Cage Free” Racing if youre on 3-wheels. If you have any T-Rex questions or comments, feel free to ask!

Oh so many ideas, oh so little sleep! Keeping busy doing freelance graphic work here and everywhere while trying to start-up and sustain a few of my own projects. Everything from the latest in cocktail revolution to  knock-off film equipment. I’ll be doing it all and fairly soon to!
