The only thing cooler than feeler barwork is feeler body work

no just the bumpers
Can I be the one to give it its distinctive battered look. i have a fbh at home that would be perfect to create this look

I presume this is the coil-converted sierra you are going to be beating on Uphiir?

Errr NO you not serious are you
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
?? .. .. The bumpers etc are made form exhaust tube (why they are beat to death. The cage is very well made and extremly well used. They are there as "feelers" only That zuk spends about equal time on it's side\roof as it does on it's wheels.
Take one look at the bodywork and the check out the cage .. it will be very obvious that the entire vehicle is seriously abused and the cage is still in perfect working order.

Some pics would be good!
Are you going to remove all the paint from the wheel wells and chassis?

That mod takes time and you need an extension for your grider to fit the bogger

So you will be building it light as possible with a 1/4 eleptic 3 link rear, hand made 4.16 T/case gears, Shackle reverse front
Sounds sweet to me .. dunno if those Suzuki diffs will be any good though

Dare i ask - is this going to be g/f's car then? or have you twisted your own arm into owning two sierras?
