Daring to be diffrent!!
Well Im doing a little facelift. She is going to get a whole new look about her when im done and hopefully a few more ponys under the hood. :evil
Im not letting anything outta the bag yet... Only a select few know whats going on right now. But if all goes well she will turn some more heads both on and off the track...:blahblah1:

Well just as a little up date, She has been put on a little diet here and there and is getting a whole new paint job plus a more streamlined look. Out front she is getting some leaky spots fixed to help keep all that important stuff togeather. Ill get a little teaser pic up here shortly.

Some progress....

Well heres some progress we have done so far, Paint is almost done, Still waiting on a charger, cam and a few other goodies to arrive so we can get her moving under her own power. Working on skirting out the bed after it was shortened 8 inches and narrowed 6 inches on each side. Have to rethink a hitch design but I have a good idea. Pulled out the ol bench and put in a couple of buckets, gotta fab up some kind of console, and get all the wiring done to all my switches and relays. I thinks she is coming along well. Hope to have her ready to run by TS.

Heres a rough idea of the new hitch set up. The two bars in the center are going to be set farther forward at the top. Then the reciver will be welded between them acording to our measurements. The Hitch we are making will be adjustable between 24 and 32 inches. So much work so little time...lol wait I said that wrong Plenty of time... so little moneys.:kick:

Oh pay no attention to the crappy 2 min sketch job.....:hehe:
