Nate Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Great concept! What kind of chassis modifications will you make to get it into the weeds?
texasfunk Posted July 23, 2008 Author Posted July 23, 2008 Great concept! What kind of chassis modifications will you make to get it into the weeds? well..i dont think im going to fully slam it..just make it have a stance like the pic. but..it could if i wanted..i notched the rear half and put a triangulated 4-link on it. in front i made some spindles out of brass and adjusted the a-arms. next is to cut out the tubs in the front and make sheet metal tubs. cowl is being scratch made and the firewall has also been shaved. still got alot of wok to go. but its coming along pretty good.
