Yes, the 8.1 is an option if we can find one at a reasonable price. They range from $200 blown up to $8,000ish. Its almost cheaper to buy a whole truck with one in it.

Scooterbilt · 05-17-2013, 08:38 PM

Ok fellers, The cutting has begun!!!

Scooterbilt · 05-17-2013, 08:50 PM

The suspension is off the back and the double frame has been removed.

Scooterbilt · 05-17-2013, 08:57 PM

Here it is as of now. We dropped the frame 20" over all, this will give us enough clearance for when the bags are all the way down the frame will sit right an an inch above the axle.

Scooterbilt · 05-17-2013, 09:02 PM

Once it is back on the ground I dont thiink it will look like so much of a drastic of a drop. And BTW we have made a choice on what is going to power this thing, and boy are you guys in for a shock!!! lol

Scooter,

I believe your supervisor in the blue top and green pants is beginning to wonder about your sanity, LOL.

whoa!! killer work

Scooterbilt · 05-20-2013, 07:55 PM

Thanks Dinos63, We got a lot done in a short amount of time. next is the front end. It has to be narrowed at least 8", It should be interesting to say the least! lol

Scooterbilt · 07-18-2013, 06:18 PM

UPDATE: We Moved The Shop!!

You never know how much crap you really have until you move!! Holy Cow!!!

Scooterbilt · 07-18-2013, 06:33 PM

Well, we got itchy so we did some work on the truck. Since the shop is in disaray we decided to chop the cab! Mind you I have never done this before, but hey you gotta learn sometime right?? LOL

We chopped it 3" in the back and 4" in the front to give it a mean look.

No Pics? what gives..........

Scooterbilt · 07-18-2013, 06:47 PM

After many hours pondering the best course of action we hacked it up!

Scooterbilt · 07-18-2013, 07:36 PM

Here is a few more. We ended up finding another cab to make the finish work a bit easier.

This was the first ever chop top for any of us here. We took lots of time figuring the best way we thought it should be done. After we got it to the point where it is now, there has been 3 different high end hotrod builders stop by and look at it. All 3 said we are doing an awesome job so far. That was a relief!!

jonzcustomshop · 07-20-2013, 04:34 PM

looks cool!, check out how I did the chop in my 60, (link in my signature) for an idea on how to do the headliner

Scooterbilt · 07-20-2013, 05:54 PM

Jonz, thats pretty cool! We are hoping that the windsheld isnt going to be to much of a headache. The way we chopped it it an are putting it back together, it should only have to be shortened and not reshaped.

jonzcustomshop · 07-20-2013, 11:17 PM

you should be ok, as long as you don't move the posts inward, the chop should work, my 2 inch chop required the top of the windshield opening to spread apart about 5/8 of an inch.

**Ol Blue K20** · 07-22-2013, 05:34 PM

Looks downright wicked, gotta love it

_Ogre · 07-23-2013, 01:29 PM

do you have the windshield cut yet?
you should fit the cut windshield to the frame

Scooterbilt · 07-23-2013, 05:07 PM

No, we havent cut the windsheild yet. I plan on cutting it then fit the cab to it.

82ccshorty · 07-25-2013, 11:19 AM

this guna be awesome

fluffyfreak · 08-01-2013, 11:12 PM

Badass! Personally id shorten it up, make her single axle, and put a flatbed on it. Flat black all of it on 22/24 semis, and keep the motor under the hood anddrop a 572 or bigger with a 8-71. But thats me

Scooterbilt · 08-02-2013, 01:06 AM

To Much Mone For A Blown 572. JusT Wait Till You See What We Have In Store Fo This BadBoy!!!
