Look what showed up at my door



This might help!



Looks like it will need a trailer and hitch:



I plan on running it for a while and then it will get a complete make over. All of those trips to the beach did a number on the hardware and all of the aluminum pieces. I will eventually finish the rear to look something like this:



The interior is going to get a make over as well. I need to think of something cool for that. and yes it will have a cup holder in it for my BEER!!!!!!!

Default update

Here are a few updated shots of where I am at now with the body mods.










I also plan on swapping the trans out for a prototype I had made for my racer. I got two additional HH 10t to use for testing. Here is what it looks like.



If all goes well I may have to get another trans machined up.

Well the new owners have it pretty much striped down. All that is left is the tires and axles, then they can lower the chassis to the floor and work on the interior and final fit meant of the body panels.

In the time that I have had this rig, I have had a lot of fun with it. I greatly apreciate all of the kind words. I will never let this thing beat me. It may win the battle but in the end I will have won the war!

Well the longer it sat the more I did not want to let it go. So I have decided to keep it. Here are a few shots of it in it's present state.








it will be some time before i get to work on it with the holidays aproaching. I am also modifying a used wheelchair to be able to go all terain more easily.

More to come!

Well I have not had any time to work on it. I am completely rebuilding my shop so that I can use it in my wheelchair. Have to lower all of my benches and drop my machinery so I can use them. Will be a nice winter project.
