Yamaha Project silverbullet liftoff!!

Ok this is going to be a slow build, i finally made up my mind to cut it up and widen/drop the rhino cage!!

i am going to do all the work myself and take my time on it...

so just right up front cause i know people always like to see the progress and i will do my best to keep it coming as soon as i do stuff...

here is the start!!

(mobile pictures hope they came out ok)

Looks like fun....how low are you going also how much wider ?

subscribed! Right on Brian!

 

[RHINOdan]

Nice! Ill be following your build Brain. Ama a sucka for chopped and dropped rhinos!

 

[BrianAshby1]

not to sure on how much wider and lower... but probably just as wide as i need to get the seats about 3 inches from the floor... and i want the roof as low as possible to where i have about 5-6 inches of head clearence...

biggest thing i want to accomplish and i know i will have to play with is visibility... i drove my freinds chopped and dropt rhino and it was hard seeing over the hood for duning... i am going to try and do things differently for visibility reasons...

good news is i think i am picking up about 5 sticks of .095 DOM this weekend... 1.5 inch!!!

wooo hoooo... more grinding and stripping down tonight... cant wait!!!

[BrianAshby1]

Ok so its been awhile since i have shown updates... thats due to the fact that originally a friend was going to let me build it in his garage using mostly his tools....

its nice to have friends that are willing to let you use there tools... but dont rely on it lol

since it was taking to long and seemed to be falling through i started buying my own tools... and building my work area in my garage... thats what took so long

new welder!!

JD2 Bender

Pipe Notcher

Work bench I built with 4 110V outlets up top and a new chopsaw
