Absolutely an awesome build!!
Doesnt all that tubing add a bunch of extra weight for the engine to push? Curious about the car's weight.

Finished Wiring Dash today.. Installed Forward Lights and Mocked Up Rear Shocks.
Next week install Motor, Trans and Suspension. I have Method 15 inch wheels What Tires work the best for Desert?? Still trying to decide between BFGs at 40Lbs each or TOYOs at 35LBS each..

My suggestion for tires is go with the lighter of the bunch rotational mass is big concern on these

I agree that you should get the lightest tire and then for a little overkill add some tire balls and some slime. it will bring the weight up but you should go for a while hopefully.:D

The actual fab work was never the issue with that guy.

Good luck with the build. Looks awesome so far.

I've been on these forums for awhile and always enjoy the build threads. I used to like watching American Chopper until I started looking at the stuff on here and elsewhere and discovered Junior was a hack. I know computers and C&C machines make things easier but someone has to have the skill and vision to develop these builds. Like anything else the cream rises to the top. Awesome build and look forward to seeing the finished product.
