They all start as a stocker........Hand built is another way to say aftermarket parts added....... just like custom built.....after market parts added.

There is a big difference from a true hand built and a sled that has a bunch of bolt on parts.

Stockers always need a substantial amount of tuning from new.

hmm news to me

Stockers always need a substantial amount of tuning from new.

My M8 required exactly one secondary spring to get it to run the way I want it, no other tuning required. Good god I just realized that your from my home town, I may know you.

Does building my own drop and roll kit and custom tunnel extension count as hand built?

Whats the differance then?
Whats the standard for a hand built?

I know of no shop that builds anything from the ground up, they all order parts and accessories from suppliers, have parts such a tunnels, wheels, steering post, axles, rails, cooler, resiviours, bumpers,exhaust, engines .....etc made elsewhere.

Then they aquire all the pieces, new and old/stock parts, paint and polish them and reassemble.

Is this Hand built?

 

[SHREK1]

does a hand build not require a complete strip down and add all the little secrets of a chosen builder , you put the best of the best for all aspects of what you are building , other than that you have a improved or modified :d

 

[maxwell]

so what iif you have a "handbuilt" sled thats not as good as a stocker.

what is it then?

if a handbuilt has the best of the best

Yes that is hand built......everything starts with a stock sled weather its just a bulkhead and built from there it started life as a stocker.....

even this started life with stock cat parts and they dont get any more hand built
