Those are portals:

Differential Engineering portal axles; armored Humvee portal boxes on Ford 9” diffs on custom axles housing & GMC K2500 disc brakes & Humvee CTIS

Search "Drexx u80" -- it was a purpose built machine!

I'd like to see a 2 door section job like I did with my pig.

Four doors and bobbed rears all look the same and they all look chopped up.

Lorena was two-door. And looked like nothing else out there. Even confused a very reputable shop owner and 80 chopper. At an event once, he said, "That thing has an 80 rear axle under it...."
"Think cause maybe it's an 80??"
As he turns to me, shaking his head, "nah..."

So, Eric, how (or why) did Lorena Bobbit go from that to this?

 

[Land Speeder]

From her being bad. I beat her.
I cut off the body to do a tube frame. But had to move, and about that same time a friend wanted the 3FE for his 40, so I sold him Lorena. Since only the drivetrain was left.

That's a shame. You really did nice work with the original bob job. I do recall now that you were living in a motorhome for a bit. Tough to build a tube buggy behind a motor home in a state park.

"were"? Why use past-tense?! Still do! ...but in a shop now!

Sweet!

Lorena was two-door.

I've done that in photoshop a few times...

It's way easier than doing it for real and satisfying for a moment or two.
