im doing some new work on the red dragon. ill be putn pics up as i get them onto the computer and as i get things done.
since i dont have pics of what it looks like currently its a suzuki sj410 that ive cut the body off from the firewall back and have caged it all, toy axles 5.29 welded rear warn hubs, yj springs front and rear, 4.9.1 in tcase, use to have a 1.0 liter engine in it swaped in a 1.3, header, ford motorcraft weber carb, accel coil, gm alt, ac pump for on board air fire extinguisher for tank, celica powere steerong box, custom over the top steering made with tractor ends, 5 point harnesses, 12 gallon gas tank. 1.3 master brake (originaly didnt have a booster it was all me brakeing) and thats about it
things to do...
first project is the stock sami bolting locations on the frame (one mounts on the drivers side and two on the passenger side) have bent very bad and all the bolt holes are ovals now. there for leting my tcase flop around. ive gone through like 5 tcases now and nothings working so ganna try something new.
making a skid plate that my t-case will bolt to and will bolt threw the frame rails. and the t-case will bolt to two pads that will be just like stock but also making one that will bolt to the back flange were theres four unused bolt holes and a smaller tab in the front were the two lowest bolts will be bolted through. probly doesnt make sense but i guess youll see the pics as they come.
second project ive destroyd the front of the samurai to the point its just not worth keeping and its tearing up my tires.
will be tearing the front clip off and replacing the fire wall and tubing the front adding a bumper and winch. end result will have the winch be in the engine compartment. (radiator is located in the rear) the hood will be narrowed in the front and the lights will be relocated into the engine compartment and shine through the grill.
third project is quarter ellipting the rear. my wheelbase right now is just way to short and with the 36's and that same wheelbase just love to flip over up and anything steep.
so by doing the quarter ellipt itll be moving my rear axle to the end of my frame and with 36's will make me not have a departure angle and have a wheelbase of about 98" (distant future will move front axle forward about 5" when moneys better for coil/airshock/coilovers whatever i end up doin.) will be three linking it with a wishbone design for top link and the spring will bolt strait to the frame.
project four tin roof and electronic consule center thing built into the roof, with cd player, cb, all switchs for lights/ fans/ horns, and two speakers
project five makeing a dash
