little more tinkering on Dopey\'s confusion

Well since the last post on his newest Sammie, we have removed all goofie leafs and replaced them with toyota rear springs and izuzu rears in front. Shackle reversal config. in front and inboarded rear. Extended drivelines, rerouted all brake lines, and reworked most of the wiring. So we cut back a little this weekend. Here is what I had to work with as he and the better half, my sister, decided on colors to make it on the Sammy.

If you remember the last pics of his Sammy, it was indeed red. His first Zuk ever was red so he chose not to go that route again. Here's what we have come up with so far. More pics prolly later.

Re: little more tinkering on Dopey\'s confusion

I can take some quick pics, but the whole thing is a custom job. From the shackels to the mounts,all were special made and with no patterns. Didn't know if you were going to use some stock spring locations or what. The rear is inboarded about 8" and the front has been outboarded to accomidate the dana 44's. Front mounts would only work on what we have due to the crazy big bumper on it. Let me know if you still want some pics.

Weeel, now I have 2 colors of fresh paint on mine....Figg is a desease, I been meaning to paint mine for a bit now after the reconstruction, and painting his got me moving on it again. Still may have 2 more colors to go but here's what I got so far. Wainting on my stickers to get done before I decide for sure what to do. Also thanks to my sister, its now named "PHOENIX". Always coming back from the ashes.
