Title: No experience at all, but we all start somewhere right?
Post by: O.D. on December 28, 2019, 12:13:17 AM

Hi all,

So I have no experienced at all, but have the time and money to embark on this journey. I’d like to start with the chassis for an aventador. Like I said I have the time even if that means months or even years of research and patience...I’m in , you guys just point me in the right direction, I’ll be your student.

Do yourself a favor and buy a frame from Strickland Racing (76mx on this forum).  That should give you a big head start.

Ty, I would be happy to discuss it with you. I have an Aventador chassis on the jig right now that is going to Carl at Duraflex next month for the body. Charley Strickland 940-781-5455.

So the New Member asks for help, three of us make the time and effort to reply, and get ignored for five days. I'm out.

Kudos, Charley.  One might think that after going down "that road" many times before that we should know that it leads to the large city of NOWHERE.  Probably our advice gets used by 2% of the tire kickers and ends up on the cutting room floor.

I give everyone the benefit of the doubt and will spend as much time as needed to answer all of their questions. It usually does not go silent until it is time to write the Build Order and pay the deposit. Maybe immediately finding exactly what they were looking for progressed this way too fast to that point of deposit.

I’m not ignoring anybody, I’m in the middle of moving to Puerto Rico. I’ll get with you guys as soon as I have time.

May I humbly suggest the obvious? Next time you initiate a long conversation, make sure you pick a time in your life when you actually have time for the conversation. Hope you enjoy Puerto Rico and the Caribbean, my next four Aventadors are going to Jamaica.
