I think you will find Mick is not as young and nieve as you!!!!! (this is coming from a dumb copper who owns old cars......and deal with you young fellas all the time with these lame excuses!!!)DeadSled wrote:Its illegal, doesn't mean you can't do it.
I've got a whole bunch of mates with bagged minitrucks, and i know Mark from Voodoo Tattoo has a bagged Caddy, Mez's EK is bagged.. ect ect.
Theres heaps of bagged cars in QLD. I'm thinking of bagging the ass end of my EK.
Just make sure you run spats or cruiser skirts, and don't lay rail around cops or drive too often, too low. I doubt they'd ever suspect it.
I think theres a couple of ways around it, kind of..
My mates with bagged trucks told me to make it a bolt in bolt out kinda deal, so if i got caught and told to go to QLD Transport for an inspection i can simply unbolt it all, put the stock stuff in and get it checked.. then put it back in afterwards.
I had the thought of if the bag mounts were welded to the diff, instead of bolted.. just get two EK or whatever diffs your going to use.. one with bag mounts and the other standard.
This EK is coming along real nice, i think the grill looks great. Ive got an FJ grill in me FC and it looks like it came from the factory. Keep up the good work. I have got my EK rear lights with the 59 caddy bullets in them, Dale actually uses your old EK for a reference when sending pics of them.

Interesting..
If you pulled over a young or old driver, in a car with cruiser skirts (EK, old Chevy custom, anything like that) would you bother getting under the car on the side of the road and checking for bags?
What would you look for?

there are cops that know what they're on about (although luckilly in minority when it comes to older cars i think 
) then it usually comes down to what you did and yor attitude deadsled

Your right Mick. Just gotta be respectful and not a jackass.
Although in saying that, theres definately some power trippers around.
Luckily all the cops around here ever see are pod filters and turbos, so i'm fine when it comes to old cars

Deadsled, You have to be shitting me, no wonder NSW tried to get those laws in.Its illegal, doesn't mean you can't do it.
So is that how you are going to explain the pile of twisted metal and broken bodies to the insurance company? If they cop one whiff of an illegal mod you'll be way up shit creekDeadSled wrote:Just gotta be respectful and not a jackass.
