| Day 1 - SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED, as you can see, this is a real project. Someone else stopped. Their loss is our gain. |
| First step, we built some heavy duty saw horses & lifted the body off the pan. Allows easy access to the pan & the body. |
| Narrowed the beam 4" total, added Adjusters, 2.5" dropped spindles & conversion to disc brakes. |
| Beam narrow, now need to narrow the torsion bars. |
| Adjusters welded in, started narrowing the beam, 2" per side. |
| fabrication, powdercoating, painting, engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, upholstery, everything is possible. Contact me for a quote. |
| Compare before to after, 5" to 8" wide rims, 4" narrowed front end, 2-1/2" dropped spindles, adjustable height beam, lowered shocks, flipped tie rods, shortened torsion bars, shortened tie rods, narrowed sway bar. Ground clearance has been cut at least in half. |
| Disc brake conversion. |
| We decided to start building the Engine now. Engine will be 1776cc, with all new SCAT internals. CW 69mm crankshaft & C35 cam shaft are shown here. |
| Short block, with oil cooler, 90.5mm pistons, aftermarket pulley & Awesome Ignitions Twin Plug Distributor. |
