Looks like it's going to be pretty poor vision over the hood, or is that an optical delusion? Outside of that, pretty cool!

 

Don't need vision... we're gonna have nitrous....

and I can see straight through the front end and look at the tires....

I was thinking of making the fire wall out of expanded steel... would that be a safety factor?

oh, and the cooler will inset in the dash between the two riders and just in front of the shifter.... bwaaaahahahahahaaaa (that was an evil laugh)

 

WOW!
Motor
Trans
T-case
Axles/Wheels
seats
and a little bit of tube.

minimalistic approach huh?

how beefy are those control arms?

.280 wall ...... ya, I know...

 

My best guy just put your name on it.
Let me know what else you need and I'll dig around the shop.

 

thick wall tube to remake my lower links...... I'm gonna go after some big heims....

and a sheet of metal for the dash.... and a sheet of metal for a top..... one case of bottled beer...... ya got any NOS rockwell wheel bearings? ..... and some seals... and ...... oh a bottle for nitrous.... and a bottle for nitrogen.. and a set of regulators.... and ......

 

better make it a big bottle for the nitrous.... and remember.. it has to corrolate to the size of that cooler.. big cooler=big bottle of nitrous

 

how big are those lower mounts??? you might want to use some trailer hitch stock... thick.. and has 4 sides.. would nicely welded to that roc..

and i like the heater you have mounted there...

I was going to use some trailer hitch stock but: at full flex that axle moves about 40 degrees, so that lower mount has to let the shock swivel 40 each way...... and that's not a heater... it's a hair dryer when the fan is on. (the fan pulls the air out the back)

 

well, I went through and labeled all of the wires in the stock harness....
then I traced them all and made sure they were hooked up right...
then I built a firewall and a dash...
then I installed the ingition and starter switch, fuel pump, fuel lines, relays, fuse blocks bla bla bla
I hit it one time to make sure I had the wires right and the son of a b!tch started right up and idled fine....

yee haaa...

 

 

the passenger side of the dash serves no purpose... maybe I should install a sink and wet bar?

 

Oh Sh!t bar.

 

sushi bar...

 

maybe a glove box / tool storage spot..... (cheif-boy-r-dee, and a colman flask)

I still can't believe the d@mn engine runs. Steering column will be here Friday... maybe I'll be able to drive it a little next week....

 

you gonna support that hood tubing??? take it down to where that joint is???

 

Yeah, we're not done yet.... I'm gonna throw 3 pieces of tube on each side and skin them... I just wanted to leave it open until I was done with the engine...

got the exhaust done and some more wiring today... the radiator plumbing is roughed in but not finished yet...

 

no brent.. in aaron's vehicle motion it's known as "you dumb ass" bar

 

I'm big enough to say when I'm wrong...and I stand corrected on this.

 

you know you have a drinking problem when you design a vehicle centered around a cooler built in the dash......

 

Only a "problem" when it's empty! :laugh:

 

I almost dropped my crack pipe on my keyboard, seeing that cooler thing.
The man has his priorities fo' sho'
What would be really cool (literally) is to figure out a way to install an A/C compressor to cool the cooler and not need ice.

Ricky

 

ole.. johnny.. misses his boy aaron...

 

Here's a thought about that cooler. It will need to be water tight, cause on an angle you will have water dripping on your switches and electrical stuff.....
I like it though. You need to install a dispenser for the Capt. like a water cooler and you can use those gay little cone cups everytime you need a hit.

Not enough trees in the forest to make that many cups.

 

Got the front drive line in.
Brakes installed and bled.
Tranny shifter installed.
OBA done.
Steering is all done (except I need to install a wheel on the column).
Radiator is plumbed and the tarus fan is wired and working.
The ALDL is working.
Guages installed.
I even wraped up the engine wiring and mounted the ecm.

Drove it today... steering the front with a wrench....

Sorry no pic's...

Lots left to do. Should be on the trail in a month .....

 

and so it has been named by my step-daughter.....


The "Junior McNasty"......

 

i like it.. the "McNasty"... i am sure it suits it fine..

 

 

You Ain't Right.

 

We all KNOW he ain't right!

 

I have done so much work that is unseen by pic's it's unreal.....

I do like the front end better this way...

 

yes.. i do like it like that much better.. are they welded in?


it looks.. NAS-TEE!!!!

yup.......

 

What did you do? Did you push the front out some more, I cant tell.

 

I see it, Its like in your Dentist office they have highlights magazines for the kiddies with 2 pictures side by side and you got to pick out the differences.

I do like the metal on the inside, it gives it that exo-skeleton look.
