The Anti-Leafer
I aquired a '78 frame & tub many years ago for free & it's been stored away, scattered throughout my basement. I finally got around to piecing it back together. I've also been gathering drivetrain parts over the years. I have all the body parts & all of the drivetrain w/ components installed, except the engine. I sold the 2F I was going to use a while back, so I'm lookin for another.
Drivetrain:
SM420 tranny w/ Dana 300 & Tera Low 4:1
Dana 60 front w/ ARB 7.17's
Dana 70 rear steer w/ Detroit 7.17's
Wheels & tires:
H1 double beadlocks recentered w/ Stazworks centers & Copperhead Fab rock rings
Don't have the tires yet, but I'm planning on either 42" SX's or 42" Iroc stickies
Engine & accessories:
2F (don't have yet)
Fuel Injection from a Spaceghost adaptor to use a setup from a Chebby S-10
Premier Power Welder
Warn M12K winch
Body mods:
I will use all the stock sheetmetal from the cowl forward, the door sills & stock half doors (modified)
I extended the frame 18" in order to form the base mount for a cage (similar to a dbl. rollbar - more on this later)
The rear section behind the rollcage will be tubed out & I'll use a double gas can carrier already fabbed for the tailgate.
No front bumper plans yet as the P.O. cut off the front frame horns @ the crossmember
I'll run Fiero seats
Stock gas tank
I'm planning on using perforated metal for the floor since I cut out the old rusted floor.
Spare tire will be mounted on the rear of the angled cage
Suspension:
TJ 8" lift coils front & rear w/ stock TJ coil retainers
3 link front w/ panhard & triangulated 4 link rear
I have a little bit of 1/4" wall DOM link tubing but no joints
Steering will be PSC full hydro
That's about all I can think of right now. So far, I've started on the frame, wheels & half doors. The doors bottoms will extend inward & have storage, similar to the one's I built for the . I'll continue fabbing smaller stuff till I get a garage bay available. I'll be using Rustoleum gloss white for all the body pieces, hammered silver for body accent pieces, rollcage, tubing, coils & black for the underbody. Stay tuned.......
