She's a crawler. And she pulled a line I've only been able to do with Southern Comfort.

She's capable for sure! Just keep the tires out of reach and have plenty of chew toys available or she'll vent your swampers in no time flat.

Not a flashy kind of guy but a titanium chassis, and crazy custom axles are going to need some nice wheels. Serial #001 from TSS. Only 8 sets made. I added the lug nuts. Brake discs will look killer behind these.

More goodies from Mthead.

Sick wheels and killer lug nuts. The brakes should shine through.

CarterFab · 04-15-2012, 02:08 PM

Just working on more detail while waiting for parts.

Everything else is out of my hands at this point so I ordered up a couple more trucks to work on to keep me busy.

Looking awesome man!! LOVE the axles!

CarterFab · 04-26-2012, 05:09 PM

Well I got the custom rings in today, so the wheels are done. They have the Southern Comfort logo etched in.

Bulldog · 04-26-2012, 11:43 PM

I think you need a little more detail in the wheels.

Going Up! · 04-27-2012, 11:21 AM

Get it going!! I wanna see thos axles rolling!!

A local got a set of those wheels that have black in them....MAN THEY ARE SEXY WHEELS!!! Needless to say I have been pestering him about selling them to me haha

CarterFab · 04-27-2012, 11:27 AM

Me too. Waiting on chassis. No hurry though.
You mean wheels like these, except I added a machined lip to these.

Going Up! · 04-27-2012, 02:10 PM

He was lucky enough to score the re-machined ones, they look gooood

NCT_Guy · 05-15-2012, 10:51 AM

Whats the latest and greatest on this new chassis Clay? Hope all is well

CarterFab · 05-15-2012, 01:10 PM

Me personally, I have been to busy to finish the axles but I'm taking a break from fab work to work on my stuff for a while. I think Shawn(ShooterFab) is in the same boat. I'm not goin to rush him as I'm not in any hurry. I'm building another scaler based off of the Titan 60s right now to keep me occupied and allow me to go scalin with my son.

Take your time. We love updates, but the time with your son is WAY more important. We'll be here. Best part about the hobby...it can wait and still be amazing.

Blah blah blah ... lol but seriously stop posting and get back to work on your build Bulldog. Just kidding buddy CFM's build is sick though.

CarterFab · 06-21-2012, 07:24 AM

Alright guys,, good news and bad(maybe).
First the bad. Titanium frame is on hold for a little while. Shawn and I have both been crazy busy and life takes priority over the toys.

Now the good. I have another chassis being built that will be a family rig, but still be able to wear the title "Southern Comfort" well.
It will be getting all the same goodies that were going into the titanium chassis. I have enlisted Matt's(muddauber7) son Tyler(muddauber jr) to build the chassis. It's a clone of WOD's 4 seater Revolution chassis. Sending mock up parts to them today to get the ball rolling.

Stay tuned, this is gonna be fun!!
