autotr8er2 Posted May 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Not going to be able to slam the car without some major cosmetic changes. I'm not going to go smaller wheels and tires. I'll come up with a sketch or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autotr8er2 Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) Me too, aconro. It's evolving as engineering challenges arise. @ Extreme. To drop the chassis to the ground. I'll have to make some cosmetic and structural changes. I'm struggling with the concept. Here is a good example of the direction I'm heading. http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l543/autotr8er/Mobile%20Uploads/13848795-4D30-4A74-BD21-43ABE07B9824.jpg Edited May 6, 2015 by autotr8er2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autotr8er2 Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 The fenders will have to be higher than the original hood line. Not sure if I want to go that radical. The body surrounds the frame. It's 1/2 inch narrower than the pinch welds. The ledge of the inner box tubing of the body is resting on the 1/2 square tubing I welded onto the fabricated frame. Once I install the rollcage (reinforcing the body structurally) i'll remove the body and weld in boxing plates. The body will be welded to the frame when all is done and I don't need to lift the body anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autotr8er2 Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 The front and rear existing bumper channels will also be used and welded to the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedyquest Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Heya auto, I have been watching a youtube channel for about a year now and these guys are building a one off custom setup kind of like what your doing. I figured I would give you a link to the videos so you could watch them. I figure it might give you some inspiration plus I can only imagine you will enjoy it just as much as I have. Watch all the project Binky videos. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHvBHWBzzB7NyU5tIiEZHBg Let me know what you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autotr8er2 Posted May 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Thanks for the tip. These guys are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedyquest Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Yea they are. I'm not expecting anything to directly relate to what your building but I thought it might give you some cool ideas or inspire you in some way. Either way I am always a sucker for stuff like this so if you happen to come across anything let me know as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
