...That name again is Mr. Plow.

It can't possibly be functional, can it?

was that plow functional. Great idea to balance the car out to prevent donuts.


I have seen many strange fc's in my life time: 4x4, 6wheel, monster truck fc, fc limo, fc -el camino...

and now an fc plow

So to answer your question, the plow isnt functional yet. We are still looking for a way to hook the hydraulics to the power steering pump for the tilt functions.

wouldn't putting more weight on the front of the car lift the rear up and make it easier for the back to spin around? maybe not....? where are all those engineers....

my thanks To the Moderator for cleaning up the Thread..I should have actually used the Plow,to remove it!..OK..now back to Reality..I pulled up to my buddy's s-10 Western plow one day,and when I got out,I saw that it looked like it was Attached!..so Being as Wacky as I am,I got his son to Take some Pictures...Honestly If I had my Way,I WOULD make it Functional,If the car was gonna go to Rotary Heaven,But That car Is what I have been Pouring my SOUL into.It's an OLD pic.The car now has at Least 2k in Parts on it,with more on the Way.It isn't Much,But It is MINE and IT is PAID FOR.Isn't that the way it should be?..Enjoy your cars Guys,and Get them Runnin,not let them Run you.Peace Out..STYX!!~
