Awsome! Cant wait to see it done.

TimE · 06-01-2008, 07:01 AM

Wow! That's pretty cool right there. Keep us updated on your progress.

greg64 · 06-01-2008, 07:06 AM

Great work Scotty! That chassis looks really nice, as does your metalwork over the rear axle. Looks like quite a number of mods had to be made to get it that low. What size rear tires are you going to be able to fit under there?

Nah I kept it 20's all the way around with a decent size tire. My son also has the same rims on his as well.

Haha thanks man , Im leaning to the simple dropped clean look on it but by the time he turns 16 Im sure it will be like mine.

**scotts62** · 06-04-2008, 10:42 PM

Oh ya that thing is sweet! Man your doing a good job on that, i like the tubing in front! Keep the pics coming in

drasticwagon · 06-04-2008, 10:46 PM

Thanks , I thought I would be different and get rid of the rusty core support. Im debating on chroming or powdercoating it, It's all bolt on.

Alan's Classic · 06-04-2008, 11:33 PM
