I cant take credit for that Haggard Fab welded the tank up I tried but had a bunch of pin holes so I cut out what I did and took it to him turned out great. Probably one of the only things that wont be done by me on this build.

I think the gas tank has to be TIG welded to be leak free, but I could be wrong. Looking great though man! I like your work

[MrBarky]

Ok so I was out in the garage today trying to figure out my rim backspacing and offset. And I came up with 22x8.5 rim with 4.75 backspacing. Thats a 0 offset correct?

[Something Different]

That sounds correct I have 20's with same backspace on my 4 door and it tucks good...there is a menber on here that would know for sure but I dont remember his name off the top of my head

[Something Different]

Norcal SS is his name he helped me with mine

[twist_of_fait]

updates?

[MrBarky]

Yeah Ive been doing some work on it Ill post an actual update before the end of the weekend.

[MrBarky]

Ok so heres a small update!!

[MrBarky]

Well Ive been spending a little time out in the garage lately and got a little bit of work done.
Welded in some shear plates cut out of 1/4".

Dont mind the hammer marks inside the wheel tub she needed a little massaging to get it as close as possible to the outer body skin.

Got myself a new toy JD2 model 38 bender this thing works great!!

Put some bracing in out of 1.25" x .25" wall round dom tubing.

Also got the tubs welded in

Front shocks reinstalled after moving them cause the new control arms were hitting the upper shock mount.

Istalled my exhaust manifolds and they just barely clear the steering shaft.

So now that all the fab work on the frame is done I started working on the floor.

Threw the rear seat in to get an idea of what I need to do with floor in that area. Thankfully it doesnt look like its going to be to bad.

[JDrummond Service Inc.]

Wow, tons of progress! Looks great man keep it up

[blake293209]

Wow, looks awesome man. keep it up and let me know if you ever want to sell it


















no, seriously.

[MrBarky]

Thanks guys I need to order some sheetmetal tomorrow and make a brake then I should be able to rap up the floor.

[88redblaze]

awesome. I know it's far off but are you planning on keeping the red paint?

[MrBarky]

I was planing on it but there are so many damn people with maroon in the NE now I might change it up

[JDrummond Service Inc.]

[Z06killinsbf]

Jeep had a chili pepper red that I always liked. Have you concidered something like that?

[MrBarky]

Thanks guys and thats chilli red isnt a bad color. I dont know guess its gonna be one those last minute decisions.

[gunther19820]

I love the shear plates, and now regret not putting them on mine..

[twist_of_fait]

[TRPLS10]

Not really sure what the loop in the back seat is for. Assuming driveshaft loop, but why does it need to come up so high? Would probably be easier to figure out seeing it in person. Looks good though. Nice work.

[Back_N_Black]

i wanna see a back seat in this thing lol im sure its gonna look sick

[lwrthnu07]

Faster Faster! Workie Workie! Lol. Way to go Rich!

The driveshaft only clears it by a 1/2" when laid out. Still need to do some cutting to the floor and make the new tunnel.
