Man, you are doing some serious mods to that thing. As much as I like cutting, fitting, welding, and turning wrenches I don't think I would tackle something like that. Good job!

Average Joe · 10-05-2018, 09:24 PM

Very nice!!

Burb · 10-18-2018, 05:25 PM

Chassis crated up and ready go ... all 20 feet

Burb · 10-19-2018, 02:00 PM

My goodness ...

**Advanced Design** · 10-19-2018, 09:53 PM

Really crated up! When will it arrive?

Burb · 10-20-2018, 10:47 AM

probably monday. weather permitting

Burb · 10-24-2018, 05:13 PM

Well here are the shots prior to body test fit

thanks ... fingers crossed

Burb · 11-29-2018, 10:20 PM

Here are some pictures of the body on the chassis

Burb · 11-29-2018, 10:22 PM

And it on little 14" wheels for moving around the shop

Burb · 11-29-2018, 10:26 PM

Now the question is ... do ya think I can get a 177 compressor and a Sniper EFI on top of it and still use a stock hood to hide it?

I can't help you there, but it's looking good, that's for sure...

**KFF 1** · 11-29-2018, 10:35 PM

Looks good !!!!

Average Joe · 12-01-2018, 01:51 PM

Nice work!

Making serious progress!!

Burb · 12-01-2018, 08:19 PM

Body mounts were off ... But Mo's took care of it ...now they need to work on trans and shaft tunnel it was a low and now needs to be cut and slightly modified so the yoke is clear and then get a "single" drive shaft made for it

Burb · 12-01-2018, 08:26 PM

All settled in place but need some clearence Doug said he will make it a high hump and add just a little height to the stock raised portion down center

Burb · 12-01-2018, 08:30 PM

Body and chassis seem very tight now and once the rear wood is installed the body movement thanks to the poly will be zero

Super job. That crated chassis pic is one of my all time favorites on the board !

Burb · 12-14-2018, 03:51 PM

Made one of the many big decisions on the project ... The Wheels
Going to run 20" all the way around and have chosen a BOZE wheel called "Traction" for the front and "Traction Concave" for the rear, now I need to decide on whether to color match or leave polished

Burb · 01-17-2019, 07:31 PM

can't wait to get the 20" wheels on to see the stance better

14" wheels aren't doing it for me

Burb · 01-24-2019, 11:09 AM

A Fresh slate ... with the wheels, smooth bumpers, mirrors and grille modes applied...

Burb · 01-24-2019, 11:15 AM

Well it is time to get my ideas and vision visible for the build

And I have happened across a fantastic digital rendering specialist that I am sure has been used by others on this site ... considering his work

Give him your ideas and he quotes you off of that ...simple.

Burb · 01-24-2019, 11:16 AM

bit by bit ...

**Advanced Design** · 01-25-2019, 12:00 AM

A good direction you are taking the Burb. Will look sweet!
