Anyone ever broken the safety on their 1911?

Looks like my Camaro. New quarters and in between. It had been hit in the back and the front. Lots of twisting and re-aligning. The doors were in good shape and the top. Everything else was toast. We were planing on restoring it for street duty but way to much damage.

Only original exterior panels left on mine are the roof and package tray! Wish I could have made the old steel work. You know how poorly stamped the aftermarket stuff is! Would have KILLED for solid fenders! She was a rusty mess that had an Earl Sheib "restoration", followed by a Maaco "Restoration"! By the time I cut out all the bondo packed rust, and replaced it all, she probably lost 400lbs! Even the dash and firewall were gone!

We never had fenders on the car. It was a shell with doors when we pulled it out of the field. Entire front end was aftermarket steel and yeah, it was a serious pain to hang. Hood was Harwood glass piece and had to be modified to fit in the hole. That car is in New Mexico now and still being ran hard.

Now you guys know why I'm too broke for a higher end 1911! Too many hobbies, not enough cash!

I am a Harley guy so that would start some serious discussions....oh yeah.

Me too, but haven't always been. (Look close, and you'll see a 115HP 1203cc Harley V-twin in my avatar!) Buell... BEFORE the stupid Rotax engines!

YOU sir, are officially a badass! Procharger?

Is this what a 1911 does when you put it on a glock mat!? Poor 1911!

No, Rivera engineering. It was the 3rd one he made and the first of its size. I spent more time and money on the drive train getting a package that would live. We re-engineered the supercharger 2 times and got it right. I smoked 3 top ends before I got the fuel right. Tore up 2 transmissions and 3 clutch's looking for strength enough to with stand my rock ape riding style. Look right behind the blower and you can see the air shifter. On board launch electronics and the air shifter put this piece in the 10:90's on motor (950 pounds wet with rider) and 10:30's on the button with wheel spin in 2nd gear.
It was my street bike. Rode it constantly.

 

[churchmouse]

I see what you did there..... if you like it.

 

[philbert001]

Now I'm just confused...and nauseous!

 

[churchmouse]

That is a proper crotch rocket.

 

[churchmouse]

The wifes bike is on the right. It aint stock either.

 

[philbert001]

That's how I see it! After a 1off muffler, Intake, and some tuning, she's pretty quick! Could leave most of the squids with liter bikes and swingarms scratching their heads when a short wheelbased American bike would leave them light to light! Don't even get me started on cloverleafs!
