Holy Crap.... Pardon my french. But I now have another forum to add to my Where's Tyler List. His story has definitely put Frazee on the map. I've been registered here for a short while and just decided to search his name, then found this.
I regret to inform you that this topic came up here 6 days too late as tyler peacefully passed Feb 14. We did however celebrate his life with what we called the "Tyler Shipman Memorial Car Show" during the Frazee Turkey Days celebration weekend. I drove my poor Fiero from Cleburne, TX all the way to Minnesota in one shot only stopping for fuel and a vacuum leak. All I had was my home built hitch and a home built cargo rack carrying my 12x20 (HUGE) tent. Once to the state line I had to stop for a bit of a nap... On the hood and windshield. Did I forget to mention the Mosquitoes... Yeouch! So yes I'm in the market to build an ultralight Tear for a warmed over Fiero to pull. But that's not for this thread.
