Nar no pics jk,few bits of skin missing off hands though hehe,
Sam want to use complete chassis diffs n motor 3.5 v8 chassis will be cut in front of fuel tank all body mounts removed,Not sure on the wheelbase yet,need to feel that out .The running gear will be from either a vertise or vandenplas ,3.5 auto th180 or trimatic in oz,I will buy a hole car,The next bit sounds a bit dodgey were going to run a seirra transfer case as i havnt broken one yet and they are super light,if i break it i have a detached mq diesel transfer that sets up nearlly exactly the same ,but has a daggy 2.5 or so high,I want somthing different so the body some will hate some will love,its based on the fire wall section of an lj,but really only using from the fire wall back to just behind door openings,the rest of an lj is hidious.Lets just say i love 30-34 ford roadster pickups, fenderless -chopped duvarl style screens .and wouldn't it be great if i could mix my love of 4xs with that of rods mmm. missus says im mental,so thats a good sighn it may all work together. and Jk hope to get the estimated wieght down to 1200kg, :roll:
