Ok Ok.... It's going under the knife.

Artec trusses on the front and rear axles, chromos shafts, 4 link front and rear, 1.25 ruffstuff heims maybe aluminum links, new bigger radiator and new dual fan, front half of frame, moving the motor, back half, tubework, rebuild trans with new e4od gear set, new body panels..... That'll keep me busy.


Current status



Front axle is stripped, need to tweek it back straight then truss it

Next I'm pulling the motor and trans.
