just got the cowl hood hinges in from Self Made Fab...

Burb · 08-06-2019, 10:00 AM

Swung by to discuss wheel well changes and got some pics ...

Burb · 08-06-2019, 10:23 AM

So it seems we are having 1 off chassis to body issues once again, this time being the front inner wheel liners ...

I have a set of "Hill's Rods and Custom" drop style inner wheel well liners, but they won't fit this chassis without major mods which could make them weak so instead of cutting them up its time for a even more custom approach.

The Hills pieces fit a stock or porterbuilt set up, my body is lower on the frame by a few inches so I can't use them now.

I tried unsuccessfully to look it up, but I think Hill's has 2 versions of their inner fenders - slam and super slam. Maybe give them a call before you go full custom and see if you can swap them out. If not, someone will buy your current ones for sure so it isn't money wasted.

Ya, I have been informed they no longer sell parts

Guess I will be selling some front tubs pretty soon and switching over to my other choice, Self Made Fab ... it was what I was looking at for a non-stock appearance, and they are metal and will allow for modification work with ease.

some rack shots

Burb · 08-24-2019, 02:24 PM

New GSI handles on the way.
Just need a solution for the rear hatch lift handle

Burb · 08-24-2019, 02:32 PM

Looking for the creator of this and see if another is possible

ajgriffin · 08-27-2019, 06:19 PM

Lots of machinists out there that could handle that kind of job. Check out Mike Curtis of Curtis Speed, Jason Britz on Instagram @jason62702, Rad Machining on Instagram @radmachining, or EVOD Industries

Burb · 12-22-2020, 12:26 PM

Needed to make some changes on the front to get the height I was hoping for

Burb · 12-09-2019, 04:10 PM

Picked up a Flex-A-Lite Extruded Tube Core Radiator and Dual Fan Combo to hide under the SelfMade radiator cover ... the product reviews seem good, also came with their multi-speed fan controller built in...

Average Joe · 12-12-2019, 10:30 PM

Nice work! ^^^^^^^^

Burb · 02-04-2020, 05:23 PM

Have some cleaner shots of the engine bay

Burb · 02-04-2020, 05:26 PM

And solved that transmission / tight body mod ... made the frame and body real tight but when we lowered the body the 700R4 got crowded so I thought maybe high hump for clearance just need to remember to change the carpet selection

FLYNAVY30 · 02-05-2020, 08:03 PM

Love your build....hoping to one day go the same direction with mine, but with a 4 wheel drive set up.

Burb · 02-24-2020, 01:32 PM

Rocky working on the fire wall

Burb · 12-11-2020, 04:11 PM

Hood is complete

Burb · 12-11-2020, 04:14 PM

project is home for Covid but must endure ...

**kev2809** · 12-13-2020, 08:07 PM

build is coming along nice man love that underhood work!

Burb · 12-17-2020, 05:49 PM

Ya gotta a lot of work to do ... waiting on the holidays to be over so I can try and get a lift in at the house, so I can pull the body back off.

Burb · 12-17-2020, 05:51 PM

Still need to raise the floor in the back and will probably do a mini tub at the same time

Burb · 12-22-2020, 12:30 PM

I think this is pretty close ... now I need to put the inner fenders back on and work on tire and wheel numbers

Burb · 12-22-2020, 12:36 PM

Fun space

**kev2809** · 12-22-2020, 07:21 PM
