Slacker, ............. HOLY CRAPULA! lol..... Dude, that is just some amazingly inspiring Fab-a-mod-a-swap-a-lot BEAST! hahaha.

I'm watching!

 

I think the bed looks good long

 

not sure if i want to bob it yet or not . Hopefully , this weekend i'm going to put some stock tires on it and get the bed kinda sorta in place , then I will see . If I do , the bobbing , probabally 8-10"" . I'm thinkin' I want the back of the bed the same "size" as the front of the bed . bobbing though might interfere with fuel cell placement , so I dont know ?

If you gotta run a different wheel/tire combo, I kinda want to know what this would look like with slightly stretched tires.

 

not quite sure what you mean by "streched tires " ?



.

 

Basically, you mount a tire to a rim that's slightly too wide. It started in euros and has worked its way over to imports. I have to admit, I do like the look!

 

Stretched tires look okay for tuner cars, but there are limits. If you go too wide a rim, it just looks weird. I'd say the back tire of the blue car in the second pic is about the limit before its just plain goofy. I have also found that stretched tires look particularly bad on 4x4 trucks...

 

^^Agreed. In the case of this build, I think the stretch on the 240sx in the last picture would be enough.

 

ok .. sure I have seen that , but i'm not sure I like it . defanatly and iea though


.

 

I think they all look really dumb. Please don't ruin this fantastic project by doing that!!

 

Wow! GREAT build thread! I really like the custom frame and all the fab work!

 

Thanks ..
sad I havent even touched it in 2 months but happy my shop is packed with customer stuff



.

 

any updates?

 

other then being a coat rack in the old shop , sorry no ... expanding our shop , and hiring new staff , supertoy has now a dedicated space in the "NEW" shop area ..., hopefully now , we can get some work done on it

Hey Slacker, when you get to the doors, a really cool idea would be to fab up some special ones that telescope down into themselves like the doors of a BMW Z1.


What do you think? Seems it would be just as outlandish as anything else going on here, but would also add to the one-off epic nature of this build.

 

Interesting idea, but wow! that = TONS of fab work!

 

very , um ... unique , but I would have NO idea on how to ?

Are you going to chop the top too?

 

Any progress on this? I still can't wait to see the final project!
