warriorsimi's "90 proof" southern build
 

i started this build after i sold elenore,and for you that didn't see that build here are some pics of it before i sold it and also pics of the new build i still need to make shock mounts and need to make longer links for it maybe 1" total for the shocks to look right.

Badass, speechless!

Re: warriorsimi's new southern build
 

thanks ,i think the truck i got motivated by was called " 90 proof " so think that 's what i'll call it.

Re: warriorsimi's new southern build
 

sweet!"thumbsup"

im becoming a southern buggy fan.:mrgreen:

Re: warriorsimi's new southern build
 

I was gonna suggest the "The Hog", the shock hoops look like tusks on a Razorback.

Call it the "Moonshine Runner"

Re: warriorsimi's new southern build
 

now moonshine runner i like maybe "moonshine"

Re: warriorsimi's new southern build
 

I like your work Bro..you keeping this one?

Re: warriorsimi's new southern build
 

Stock wheelbase?

You do awesome work!

Re: warriorsimi's new southern build
 

i got most of the welding done on this rig aka "90 proof" i like the other suggestions but this is short and sweet.i need some honest feedback on this most of it is made from looking at a couple of pics from a chassis that is not finished yet so i had to come up with my own design sugestions are welcomed but most likely be on the next build cause i can't hack it up now so please tell me what you think honestly.i know for one that the wheel base is about 1" short but i have no money to change it right now.here's the pics again i need honesty even if it hurts.

Re: warriorsimi's new southern build
 

still need to do the panel mounts ,all the little washers that take forever,also need color suggestions for the chassis .thank you all for taking the time to look at my builds.

Re: warriorsimi's new southern build
 

Why did you delete your last one?

Re: warriorsimi's new southern build
 

the wheelbase will be stock for now till i make some new links another inch should do it. so 14.5"wb i have looked at alot of the southern buggies and them look really long to me for example screaming blue looks like scaled down it looks like 15 " wb.

Re: warriorsimi's new southern build
 

hmmmm color......MY FAVORITE

Re: warriorsimi's new southern build
 

This rig is badass, tube work is looking great my friend. I bought a FJ40 tuber from you a couple years ago and always thought for the price it was a great piece of work"thumbsup"

Re: warriorsimi's new southern build
 

If there is one thing I have learned in 25 years of life it is that this is absolutely true. Not saying I know what happened in this situation but I will say that I'm glad your back on here because you are an excellent builder and seller"thumbsup" keep up the good work warrior!

Re: warriorsimi's new southern build
 

That tube work looks like a work of art!
Sooo impressive!

Re: warriorsimi's new southern build
 

X2 on that!!!!

Re: warriorsimi's new southern build
 

I'll reinstate the classifieds when you make the deal right.

Re: warriorsimi's new southern build
 

Ive been looking at building a custom chassis, Would you tell me what tubing that is? Looking at building a fairly large scale electric for the mud runs, as kind of an attraction type thing... That thing is really sweet by the way...

Re: warriorsimi's new southern build
 

I did send a PM, no reply. And I did not want to see any other people have issues. So I did what I thought was right, not based on my "buddy circle"

Re: warriorsimi's new southern build
 

:shock:

Re: warriorsimi's new southern build
 

it is all 3/16ths solid cold rolled steel tig welded .3 times cheaper than tube twice as heavy but alot stronger .also easier to bend cause it won't kink.

Re: warriorsimi's new southern build
 

thank you for that.

Re: warriorsimi's new southern build
 

trying to think of something negative to say.................
awful wood it is resting on ?
seriously though, its like watching american hot rod. every time i look at this thread im in awe of your skills.

Re: warriorsimi's new southern build
 

do you know of anything i can read or watch to teach me brazing ? i dont know anyone who does it.

Re: warriorsimi's new southern build
 

try you tube ,how to braze, i am sure there are a bunch in there,or maybe the library might have something.i just started doing it till i got good at it,i tried mapp gas which alot of guys do good with but i ended up with a oxy aceteline torch kit and tank set and just buy the coated brazing rods by the pound.the main thing is clean metal and adjusting your flame ,you can also buy the kit i also used which is mapp gas and oxygen kit the only thing is you go though oxygen really fast if you use the small bottles.i think i still have that kit somewhere.

Re: warriorsimi's new southern build
 

Not a prob! Always had good dealings with you and awesome tube work"thumbsup"

Re: warriorsimi's new southern build
 

Thank you for the info!!!! I have a blitz body, and 40 series tires... Just need super strong axles. Have a great weekend!!!!!

Re: warriorsimi's new southern build
 

Hmmm...how bout....Shine, White Lightning, 151, Hi-Octane, High Octane, 100 Proof...

Re: warriorsimi's new southern build
 

i really need color suggestions ,think i am sticking with " 90 proof "
or maybe "EL PATRON" :ror::ror:

Re: warriorsimi's new southern build
 

Go with Trans Purple.... over that silver ,It'll POP!

Re: warriorsimi's new southern build

Re: warriorsimi's new southern build

Re: warriorsimi's new southern build
