They will be slow, thanks for your interest. Also forgot to add im going to be running a dual stage nitrous kit with 2 bottles, i have 5 or 6 zex bottles in my garage and one in my daily s10 blazer (which surprises some people)

Talking about the tubed front end?
I used to build cages for 4x4's so i looked at this as an easy task, the only setback is that i dont have a mandrel pipe bender anymore so ill have to get my measurements perfect then bend them up at hanksville hotrods #1 cage builder in CO

 

[Scoobystyl]

Got started on the tubed front end today, must say i was surprised at how easy it was but it was the simplest part

Started playing with ideas for nitrous and all the lines

And just got back from picking these badboys up, and there awesome but you def cant be much bigger than me

Looking good so far and I like the seats. -16AN or -20AN seem to be popular lines for the radiator.

Car looks great, keep up the good work!

I am going to use a lightweight 1/4" piece to replace that, I'll post up some pics next weekend. I am going to do a chromoly cross member with a new roll stop as well.

 

[Scoobystyl]

Im trying to figure out if its even necessary to use if using solid motor mounts and rear roll stop, cause then i could tottally change how i have it set up, id really like to do it how ive seen most 1gs set up with the roll stop welded to the new front end, i look forward to your update

 

[Scoobystyl]

Been a while since ive updated this, blew my turbo and... this is how it sits for part out

 

[buhay6]

hhhmmmmm do I see another 2g in the back ground there with the missing white fender and passenger side door? I think I do.

 

[Scoobystyl]

Haha yes that ones getting a full build, tubed, caged, Borg Warner s400, 2.4LR aluminum rods, and.... Automatic

Hows the interior on this thing? My DD could use some better panels/seats plus Id like to stop by and shoot the shit and talk car.

 

[Scoobystyl]

Oh man it actually had perfect grey panels and leather seats but I just tossed them in the dumpster cause I figured no one would want them since there the generic color. Ill check and see if they are still in there tomorrow morning and grab them. I'm down to shoot the shit anytime man

 

[TJCTalon]

if the seats are perfect Id love to take them

shoot me a txt 3-2426286

Well all the plastics were gone by the time i checked, i do still have all the seats though, the drivers side has a decent tear in it but all the others look pretty good
