Just wanted to take the time to thank the members of the for accepting in a very polarizing type Rig build. I have several builds threads going on and some really hate the site of this Rig.

Thanks Tan Zuk

Their loss is our gain! Great fab work!

This will be a slight distraction and a bit off topic to the build. So, hope you don’t mind.

Remember this pic and the Hotrod peeking through to the right. Thought that you may have been interested in seeing it.

This is another one of my ridiculous, impractical Bucket List Builds.​

Stats:

1933 Willys Fiberglass body and I built the frame. Yes, Willys really did make cars for a little while.



671 Littlefield setup for 1 to 1 ratio, 383 Chevy STROKER all the high dollar internals, 4L60E auto manual valve body beefed up to hold 1000 hp. 8 3/4 456 gears with a 4 bar suspension, Mustang II front, It has 800HP and is a beast.

Now for the Beast

Kept this one separate. It is called a Watts link. It works great for this type of application because it keeps the rearend centered at all times. There is only 2 inches between the frame rails and the back tires. If I used a panhard bar it would have been way too short and would have been pushing the rearend from side to side during the suspension cycling.

It took me a while to get all the info to make this up. It is a few different ideas put into 1. I also have Mustang II front inner and outer wheel bearings and seal in it and a cap for the top to keep the dirt out and to adjust and grease.

As I said this was a bunch of different ideas put into 1 and sealing everything off was mine to add. They don't make anything like this. It is a real chore to get it all set up correctly. I works great.

Hells Yeah!

This is a helpful hint on how I start my builds. This is done before any money or time was spent on any mods. Used a few simple free grafix progams that came with my computer.

Here is a rendering that was made before the build was started. This was done to give me a real time look at what the mods would look like. So, there wasn’t wasted time on something that looked bad.

This rendering has a pie chopped top and the dog house part of the front clip has been removed.

This is a build thread.

Awesome work man!

Some progress. The blending of welds takes a long time. I prefer that look because the parts look like a stamped piece.

Reminder Before Panhard Mount

Panhard Mount welded up and sleeves were added for strength. The welds were smoothed out still have to pop a 3/4 hole for the Heim Joint. There will also be a Bumpstops mount added to the bottom. Bumpstops on order should get them this week.

The parts were also painted with welder’s primer before tacking together..

Here is the HS Extension clearanced for full steering. Still needs to be welded on. Making triple sure that everything is working before this is done.
