Was my tow vehicle for 7 years..
Cant wait to see that thing when you are done..
anymore progess? this is going to be badass when done :skull:
Just got it to my shop today. The engine is permanently mounted and we are going to rig it to drive. Just to make sure the engine is going to stay put so we can proceed with roll cage etc.
Gotta run the cooling system fuel system throttle pedal and shifter. And a little wiring.
Looks great ron i think we need to hear it when you get it mounted
in there. just to make sure.
That is one sick "SHAGGIN WAGGIN"!!! Nice job bro...keep the pics coming!!!
Are you going to back brace the nine inch? also did you use an aftermarket pinion support?
Btw, bitchen ride.
There was a dude on RacingJunk that had braces for sale reasonable. He wont return e-mails. i guess he really dont want to sell them.
No pinion support. It is just a pump gas deal.
For now. LOL
The project is still going but not at the pace it was.
All I have to do is get the engine hooked up, drive it to see if everything works OK. Then we can finish it up. Roll cage body work etc. I'm having a hard time getting anything done. Too many other things happening and after hours is the only time I can wrench on it.
A few random shots. water pump, radiator, steering column etc.
