Sounds like some good plans, I look forward to seeing it come together.

Isnt the max wheel base for sr1 103" and don't you have to use the stock suspension pivot location?

its not a race car, I don't think.

 

[Kustomfab2003]

Ben is correct, not a race car... a 4 seat car for my kids and I to romp around the desert in. If I were to build a racer, I would stay within spec's. I just wanted to have a unique 4 seater that was not on the market. This would have been out about 6 months ago, but the builder and I got behind and focused on other commitments.

Subscribed...........this'll be a fun build to watch.
Are you building it more for desert or dunes or ?

 

[Kustomfab2003]

Desert mostly. Johnson Valley, Ocotillo etc...

Found it

Cool build Josh

Keep the pix coming

Basic skeleton started... going to need a wider and deeper hood. Changing the front to a J Arm instead of a A-Arm top and bottom. Will post more over the weekend as progress continues...Wheels are set at full bump with 5" of clearance under the chassis.

Sweeeet!!! Can't wait for future updates.

A few more pictures... been out of town at the World AG Expo the last week... Hopefully more to show next week.

 

[Kustomfab2003]

I am going to need a wider hood then the Empyre I have... JoeyD any ideas? My chassis is about 60" wide at the A-pillar and would like something just as wide.

I work for ESAB and was in the ESAB booth accross from the main Praxair tent.

I've got a Hellion hood that would be fairly easy to widen/lengthen. I don't think anything exists wider than an Empire.

I mostly need it wider where it mouts towards the A Pillar. The empyre is still set up to use the stock style dash insert so it narrows up quite a bit up front. What type of price are you looking at for the Hellion? I found a Frod Ranger one piece clip that would possibly work as well....

 

[Wild Earp]

The Hellion hood is 61" wide at the A pillar. Its made for widened a-pillars cars, thats why I didn't use it on mine. Id like to get $200 for it. If your interested, shoot me a PM with your email, and Ill send you some pics.

But yeah, with as big as your car is, a mid size pickup hood would fit better, but would loose the look of a UTV.

PM sent... sounds like a perfect fit!

 

[Kustomfab2003]

Couple of more from today. Front bulkhead is going in, Pro-Am steering rack and more of the bracing. Picked up the Hellion hood from Wild Earp and got it up there. We will be adding to it to make it work as the midrail on this is 66" wide
