yeah it's going to weigh a ton with 40s on it

i am going to stretch both ends. probably 4 in the front and 6-8 in the rear.

i'll ask him next time i see him.
the finger is a little fubar. i had some minor surgery on it yesterday to cut out a piece of nail bed that squirted out the side when the accident hapened. other than that it is doing great!

[sahara0207]

did you only shorten the long side?

[Brice]

yes. the short side is already short enough. heh

[Britain]

Yur lucky that finger didnt get crushed off there B.

How long u think the junk mods gonna take?

Stretchin that rear give you some great options fer the suspension..guess its new fuel cell time eh?

guess that fishin isnt to bad of pay fer a college student!

[Brice]

eh....it wasn't too great this year and it has really hurt me not being able to work these past three weeks


i should be done by this time next year. im chopping the frame after the skid in the rear and in front of the motor mounts in the front. body is getting cut after the quarter panel and will be getting skinned and bobbed at both ends.

Gonna do Bronco with robert-r sunday see if we can scrap up his old tube fendors a bit.

Brice, why coil overs and bypass? are you planning to desert race it as well as crawl it?
there is a lot of information missing from your "list of goals". fill in the blanks.

I would like to make this a street legal buggy (stock emissions/stock sending unit sunk into cell ect) and still be able to go fast when i want to. Unfortunately money is a problem so it will have the stock drive train (for now) with the addition of a tf999 in place of my ax15 and a homemade gate shifter, maybe a stak or atlas. My plan is to ditch the tubafter the firewall and skin it back with a new floor after all the tube work is done. Ditch stock dash/ac compressor ect.
Dovetail the rear and possibly the front. New cage with some unique designs built in (have to wait for pics to see that).

anyone intrested in purchasing the cage? hardtop still fits!!
