i'm going to keep my truck

i'm also going to be posting a whole heck of alot more again as there are now a million new things i have to learn in order to do everything i want.

plans-

roadster
lay body
tonneau cover mounted reverse (so it the front folds up) w. plexi window showing amp rack
keep the front suicide, rear pass suicice and tailgate door configuration
400/450 hp/tq



major stumbling points-

z front or body drop entire truck (rear suspension will be fairly easy- just weld in all new at height desired, front not so much to get it down further as front crossmember is on ground and body isn't!)

rollcage type bracing system to replace strength lost by removing roof. probably with hoops behind each front seat with seat belt harnesses (and this can't ruin the simple lines etc.)

about 20,000 other things i'm not sure about yet

Whatever happened to this project. It's badass. Inspires me to wanna find a house with a garage for sure.

It never got finished as far as I know. You might find some info on it somewhere else, but I doubt he will come back here. When he left people had been waiting months for parts they had paid for.

Oh Damn. Well this unfinished project may have just sparked a fuse in my brain. I think this idea would be better pulled off with a mustang convertible roll bar chopped around and shorter seats and a lower dash to really give it that roadster look.
