Default VP DP Phoenix

This turd showed up Saturday from RPP and I still haven't opened it.


I've been needing and very long overdue now for a new legit C2 rig and this has got me pretty excited!!!


Stay tuned!

Nice! Interested to see what you come up with. All else fails, maybe you can sell this one to Harley too.

Can’t wait to see how it goes. Planning some tube work I’m guessing?

Yes gonna add some tube work for sure. But keep this simplistic for weight purposes for C2
Will most likely be leaving some factory parts off too for this purpose.

Just picked up some more braze flux and some stainless

Also cutting the heavy junk out of the trunk!! I love the look and rigidity of the rear fuel cell etc but it won't be needed for this build, getting rid of that weight on the silver line....


Also these axles are super cool!!

Emblem design reminds me of transformers for some reason

These axles are just cool, went together perfectly

This is fun. Look forward to seeing the tube work. I built the chassis last night. Was quite surprised at how heavy it is.

Front shock towers done and brazed on

Also started on front bumper. Made it a bit narrower.
Still need to drill for fairlead, mounting holes and braze a stinger on....
