Projects Border Bandits Gas class builds to the Southeast Gassers rules.

More than you can imagine...these are off the ChevyII and Vicky I built...

 

Forgot one...

 

Can't ya con 3dnsouth into doing one...that guy has skills!

 

All I have to say is that the Swiss cheese bandits and tunneless Tony better get ready for 2016!

 

DOH!

 

I just get my money's worth on my drill bits and hole saws. I bought them from matco and they are lifetime warranty so I just get new ones every week. This is a every ounce counts car so most of the Swiss cheese will get covered up with tin. I also have a huge bag of metric thread titanium bolts I am re tapping to 3/8 so I think I can get at least 15 pounds off just changing out some fasteners as titanium is lighter than even aluminum and still stronger than steal. Tony come on up I will take u up on that offer drilling holes really sucks but I can't find any other way to get some more weight off.

 

AH CRAP! All this light weight preaching has blown up in my face. I'm either gonna have to break out my own set of Holey Drilleholes, or go hide in C/Gas.

 

With all of these bad ass cars being built for this year, and the ones being hopped up that are already going, I'll probably be running in the middle of the c gas pack before the year is over!

 

Sounds like I'm gonna need another working vacation at tonys house soon...ready the stuffed cat room!

 

Tony offered the Catacombs to me on my failed attempt to be at Greer for the SEG Finals (DAMN RAINOUTS). I told him that room was for dirty hairy pussies, and I wanted none of it!

 

Shoulda took it...bit creepy but priced right!

 

This aught to scare the crap out of some people.This is my ford on the scales with everything I could possibly think of except drive shaft and front and back lexan and I had extra weight that won't be on there to hopefully to compensate for the things I forgot. Also will be changing out the heavy g body disc brakes up front for some light weight drag brakes. And did I mention I was also sitting in the drivers seat.

 

Don't put on to much paint and you should be good.

 

Ju

uuuh.., just crapped myself.

 

Just weighed the drag brake brackets and calipers compared to the stock g body ones I had on the front when I weighed it the drag brake calipers and brakets are 18 pounds lighter and the rotors will take off more yet lol

 

That's awesome.

 

Ole Scarelane, might become the Helliumlane

 

That pussy is freeze dried not enough stuffing going on .....

Dirty Harry? Feel lucky punk?

Get what ya pay for - didn't look under the bed at the cremated pet cemetery in little urns ? - hell I won't sleep in there

 

Damn it man! That's lowering the bar right there. Please do measure it before and after paint - want proof that paint is 100lbs

 

In my case Tony,it's 100 lbs for paint,and 150 lbs for bondo.....Lol!

I will definitely be weighing it before and after paint. I am hoping the titanium and aluminum bolts will offset that weight I am also using direct to metal paint on a lot of the interior and suspention so I don't have to prime it I was just talking to my paint rep this week about that. . The roof has like 3 layers of paint on it now so I'm hoping that that old laquor paint twice as heavy as the new urithane paint.

 

I quit lol i havent even got mine home yet, but ceeripes man! I would be happy if mine weighed that without me in it.

 

I finished up the lift/traction bars...I'm going to trim off the extra material off when I figure out where the shocks go.

I modified some brackets for the lift bar mounts that I had made awhile back. I was going to use square tube, but had this bent pieces already. You can see my redneck 4X4 spacers to keep everything square...

I modified the front spring mount I had made to fit as a trans crossmember. It worked out perfect.

The motor mounts turned out good, but they are a little different looking. I think they will work fine.

I also removed a little more material in the "A" pillar area.

Here is an inside shot of the chassis through the windshield area.

 

I also have this patent pending lightweight drive shaft...you can pm me for details[emoji51]

 

I like your drive shaft, It just needs a Muskrat trapped in there for good measure and Power! LOL Gary

 

Are one of these yours?

 

Nice job Kip! "Shemansip'ngin" is looking alreeeet! Has a high end mid 60's build vibe.

 

Couldn't find a rear sump oil pan that I liked so I decided to just make one. Had the flange water jet. Then made the rest out of .080 aluminum. I didn't want it to look like a squared fabricated pan so I rounded all the edges. I bout rounding dies for my bead roller but they don't work rite on my bead roller so I had to hammer the sides out the old fashion way hammer and dolly. Came out better than I thought now I just gave to make a baffle in the bottom and put a drain plug in it.

 

Speechless or I'd say something meaningful
