thanks guys.

I am also in the process of going back to gasoline, and trying to work a rear seat into it. Will add some tube to the back to protect the rear passengers and hold the fuel cell.

Thanks. I picked up the housing years ago for a good deal, and finally was able to use it. I do have a mint in it, even with the lp 3rd, but i think it will give me the best of both worlds with weight, ratios, and strength.

I wanted the rig to get lower. In the pic its 2" above full bump. I have already raised the motor, and any lower I will be into the oil pan. I might push the front out some more if needed to get lower, but really dont want to mess with the look too much. It still should be able to fit out of a std garage at ride height.

Got the rear 4link in place. Still need to do some work to brace the truss and strengthen up the rear axle.

Also had a friend cut out a header flange for me. Going to start mocking up and working on the turbo setup once this thing is rolling again.

Messed around with it for a little. Got the shocks mounted up & orbital placed. It is currently sitting on blocks. Ride height will be a few inches higher. Getting ready to start on the boatsides next.

Will try to roll it out soon and get some pics in the sunshine.

Its been a while, but have a small update. Rolled it out to get some pics. Put in some door bars, which will become the top of a boatside, and also have the seats mounted to them.

Currently sitting pretty close to ride height. Would like it lower, but its not too bad.

Keep up the good work!
