pics of my friends 4x4

I know I should post these in the newer section, but dang, I hang here. Started with nothing but pieces and parts. Donald has to be one of the craftiest guys I know. The last 3 pics are of a " buggy " he made. He has a small junk yard, and shop. Someone gave him a 1974 Corvette. I go by one day ,and here sits the frame and suspension. On top of the frame is the floor pan from an 80's Buick regal. Next time by he is bending metal electrical conduit to form a pattern to shape the body. I will guess that the all steel hand formed body must weigh 1000 pounds plus. I just enjoy going there to see what he is up to. We have know each other 40 years I guess. ENJOY

Re: pics of my friends 4x4

The 4X4 frame looks great and I bet that "buggy" would be a wild ride

Re: pics of my friends 4x4

I made the exhaust for the BUGGY. Went by to check on Donald one day and he had the cylinder heads off of it. Seems Donald and a buddy went for a ride, and were in it hard when one of the ujoints snapped. Floated a valve, and bent every intake valve I think. Should be wicked fast!!
