It's not what you are thinking

I bought a m1009 from the military and I am making a trail rig out of it. Put a 14 bolt full floater and a dana 60 with 4:56 gears, 5 in lift, 38" swampers on h1 beadlocks, winch, etc. I will post some pics of it the next time I have the camera out.

See I told you it wasn't what you where thinking

Just an old military blazer to beat around the woods in.

jkade · 04-05-2009, 07:09 PM

Not much progress and no pics to show. I got the inner bedsides cut out for the new tubs now I have to go pick up some sheet metal to make my tubs, notch cover and we are going to cut the firewall out and weld in a new piece instead of patching all the holes.

Here is a pic of my rear tires. They are 335/30/20's which are nearly 14" wide

Amazing, is all i can say about the vette, i am no purist by any means, that is how one is meant to look, congrats to carter for the unbelievable work.

*project 67 sub* · 02-19-2009, 01:15 AM

got any vids of that sick a$$ vette

tvblazer78 · 02-19-2009, 12:15 PM

Bad ass vette!

jkade · 04-06-2009, 09:28 PM

I called today to see about getting a set of americans re-hooped on some 12" hoops. I can buy 2 new 20x8's and have the centers put on 12" wide rims as cheap as I can buy one 20x12 from most wheel companies. I wish I could afford some rushford's but I can't see swinging $3000 + for new wheels.

jkade · 04-11-2009, 08:10 AM

These tires are huge

I think I am going to be tucking since that is the ride height

jkade · 04-11-2009, 08:14 AM

I finially bought me a engine cover from the land down under. The orange one is the one my Old Man had on his camaro.

Rokcrln · 04-11-2009, 09:55 AM

I like the cover, what is is off of? Will it work with a truck Vortec?
Also in order to tuck those tires how far in will they need to sit?

The cover is from GM's Holden division, I don't know exactally what car it is from. They are usually a few of the covers floating around on ebay.I think the new pics will answer your question about the tires.

OARNGESI · 04-12-2009, 08:28 AM

wow that going to be cool

jkade · 04-19-2009, 07:41 PM

I have been trying to decide what type if motor mounts and plates to buy but couldn't come up with anything I liked. I drew out a design on a piece of paper and went to work on it. Nothing special but I think the will look cool when done. am going to add a piece of flat to the bottom for strength.

Rokcrln · 04-19-2009, 07:50 PM

Looks good, how tall are the front and rear tires? As for the motor mounts I like the design but I think it would look better with a piece of flat plate on top and bottom drilled like the center piece. Kind of a speed hole I-beam look then paint them alum so they match the A-arms.
How is that kid of yours doing?

The fronts are 26" and the rears are 28" tall. I might look into the I beam idea, not going to be much more work to add a piece to the top but I think it might get it the way of my steering with a piece on top.

My little boy is great. He has started trying to crawl this week, he is saying Da...Da... all day long. He is off the charts for his height, the doctors can't believe how tall he is. We went to Savannah this weekend, which is a 6 hour trip and he didn't pitch a fit one time down there or back.

Yeah my son was 9 months and his clothes were for 18 month. Now at 21 month he is between 2 and 3T. It seems like just yesterday he went for his first truck ride to the dumps at 1 week old or so. Now he has his own 51 F1 and loves climbing inside and "driving" but wants me out side with the door shut!

I love the flat firewall look. Watching you on this one...

Happy to see you back on this, looking good man!

By the time it is all said and done this won't take much longer than patching all them holes and it will look better too. As far foward as the motor sits I won't even have to pocket it to clear which is good news.

nuke1 · 04-28-2009, 01:12 AM

Hey, that is looking great, and yes those tires are huge, i am doin a set on a 69 camaro at work right now, wow i love them, complete DSE underpinnings, i drool looking at it every day. Your engine mounts are just way to sexy, makes me want to throw my crappy ones out and start all over!

Yes those tires are huge

and they look sick on a camaro. Those engine mounts where pretty easy to make and it was Rokcrln's idea to do the I-beam deal so I give him credit.
