Guys, I had her running for a few months hahaha.

Then I hit a pot hole in KC and RIPPED the th350 off the back of my LSx haha oopsie. Now I'm back to rebuilding her.

Here are a few pics!











Very Early Prototype Of RideController Seen Below. Windows 8 Tablet Runs The Gauges via a Megasquirt 3 with Expansion (i soldered together NOT worth the TIME and the worry)

The RED SRT10 is the Ratrods BITCH and pulls it to shows.



Also I just launched my iOS App dowload it NOW (Free) been so busy working on it and building out the production version of the Control Center ($249). Also in the process of building out the Android version!

Checkout RideController that's my startup and what I use on my Ratrod to control it.

That's a pretty sick app you have going. The details of my dream swap keep getting better and better!

However, that car you have there looks like a tire roasting death machine! HAHA

Yeah man I'd love to meet some more car peeps I literally don't know anyone in KC that is into cars. I just moved here not long ago and I've been so into my projects I literally haven't come up for air. I need some AIR haha.
