Good Lord man. That's quite a collection. Almost bought a Banshee a few years back but my sis couldn't drive a manual so we bought a Polaris. Still trying to figure that one out. I bet the neighbors love it when ya'll fire those babies up in the garage.

oklahomaduner · 05-01-2009, 04:55 PM

ya my sister had a polaris... she hated it. lol then she moved up to the banshee.

TwiggyTheDrummer · 05-01-2009, 04:58 PM

It wasn't too bad. You just couldn't go into much water or else you would be sitting there until the heat dried off the trans belt some. What color are you going to go with on the '66?

oklahomaduner · 05-01-2009, 05:10 PM

i'm thinking either a really dark charcoal or a little lighter charcoal with two black stripes down it and black tube bumpers, cage and tire carrier.

TwiggyTheDrummer · 05-01-2009, 05:13 PM

Sounds sweet. Matte Charcoal or cleared?

62 short step · 05-01-2009, 08:32 PM

Lookin good!!

oklahomaduner · 05-02-2009, 12:40 AM

thanks! and i think cleared. i want a high gloss with some depth to it.

TwiggyTheDrummer · 05-02-2009, 09:23 AM

Agreed. Are you going to be driving it alot, shows, duning (duh)?

oklahomaduner · 05-02-2009, 08:51 PM

probably a little bit of everything. mostly daily driver to school and every show i can enter it in. and a little fun in the dunes of course

oklahomaduner · 05-11-2009, 06:44 PM

Thanks for all the replies guys! Update time, last week my dad managed to find the last two Flowmaster off-road super 44's in the city and picked up some 3 inch pipe also. He did the fitting, cutting, and welding on the pipes. He also made a pretty dang good looking little bracket for the mufflers. After he got the pipes and mufflers done I coated them with an aluminum paint and some flat black

After playing around with a 45 degree bent pipe we found a nice way to make some tips. so a few hours with a sawzall and grinder i came out with these...

Then friday we got the call that said my tank was done with powder coating so we ran and picked it up..

Here is the baffle inside

oklahomaduner · 05-11-2009, 06:45 PM

And saturday we got it out of the garage for the first time in two years! but just for a reference, im the one in this pic and im 6' 2"

62 short step · 05-11-2009, 09:04 PM

Wow! Thats awesome!! Nice work!!

**Captainfab** · 05-11-2009, 11:42 PM

Looks good.....making some good progress.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get that fuel filler/fuel line unit?

jason65 · 05-12-2009, 07:36 AM

oklahomaduner · 05-12-2009, 05:44 PM

Quality work, you should be proud.
Can't wait to see the body go on!

hAetWagon · 07-11-2009, 09:04 PM

You MUST demand that the body shop take pics of the extended cab process. I have an idea but I'd love to see it.

oklahomaduner · 07-12-2009, 12:16 AM

Hey thanks guys, I got the bed off the 66 finally and have it setting on the 86. I'm debating whether to get new bedsides or work these into shape... but we are going with a new tailgate so if anybody is looking for one..... make an offer. here are a few pics...
