Nice work!

Will you be using that integy motor to drive this beast? Nice Hemi by the way

-Corrupt

[jeeper03]

Corrupt, I plan on starting out with the integy motor, but I'm sure I'll replace it with something that resembles the power of the hemi!

[Corrupt]

Throw a castel crations mumba munstor in there! :P

where in the world did you find 6.5" TSL's??? i would love to get my hands on them.

[jeeper03]

Found them in the classifieds, someone had made them but had them on 3.2" wheels, so I added a 2.2 sidewall and they turned out nicely!

[jeeper03]

Haven't had time to work on it lately due to this new addition



I finally went down and worked on it some tonight though. I cut the hood away from the grill, and started making the grill thicker for the radiator.







While the grill is drying, I started working on the removable firewall to hide my electronics behind!

open space for electronics:


firewall to cover them:

Looking pretty slick, man. Love the "fake" firewall idea.

any updates

[jeeper03]

I got started on the other tube fender last night, and I may try to start the inner fenders tonight

I can't believe you don't have any custom exhaust on that hemi. That TJ is huge.

[jeeper03]

Chwhpa, just wait! It will be getting exhaust, just have to figure out how to get it past the upper control arm mounts.

[papasnachez]

Sweet.

Guess your body mounting method is how I'm going to do mine also. "Grinch" here in this section.

[jeeper03]

This body mount is the best I have found to hold the body and not have body posts sticking out.

[jeeper03]

got my hood hinges put on! thanks to Runswithscissors on the hinge idea.

[OllllO Fanatic]

Your jeep looks awesome. I like the 1 ton look, I contemplated doing that to mine. What wheel wideners did you use? Again your jeep is looking awesome.

[jeeper03]

Thanks! im still trying to compete with your awesome build!! I wish I knew who makes them but I got them off Craigslist a while back. They are at least a 1" spacer.

[OllllO Fanatic]

My rig is only awesome because of Lue and his excellent fab skills, most of the credit goes to him for making it possible for this rig to exist

[jeeper03]

Worked on the jeep most of the day.

Don't want that hemi to over heat, so I fabbed up a radiator!




Also got the exhaust done. I wasn't able to run dual exhaust due to driveshaft issues, so I did 2 into 1 and ran it down the passenger side.



Hard to see but just went with a simple turn down past the skid like my 1:1 jeep has it.

[papasnachez]

Now those are some sweet additions to the scale details.

[jeeper03]

Thanks papasnachez, I should be adding quite a few more touches before its all done!

I'm trying to use up some of the space between the engine and radiator, what do you guys think about this air filter?
