1988 burb with front tilt

[wildcatjason]

I've been working on this for awhile and it's far enough along I'll show my progress.

This all for now.

If you ever attempt to do something like I used unlimited products and it has not been a good experience. I've spent a lot of time getting the body lines right and the only thing bolt on was the hood which I used as a guide to get the rest of it right.

(I too, own two wheel drives.)

Lawrence, quite a few guys around you. Ive met a few of them.

I'm not to happy with the way the back top has lined up so I'm cheating. It's nothing a little fiberglass and foam won't fix.

 

[wildcatjason]

More progress.

 

[wildcatjason]

I actually got further then this, but it's to dark to take pictures.

Sub'd. This is gonna be sweet when you're done

What are your plans for hold-downs?

Jeep hood hold-downs?

 

[wildcatjason]

I bought these on eBay for the latch. http://www.aerocatch.com/aerocatch

This is the engine it's getting.

Nice dude! This is gonna be sweet.

Yeah it will be cool. Ive had the engine in there before in stock form. Its all rebuilt. I'm upgrading the h1c turbo to 12 cm housing with a 56mm compressor and putting in m&h fuel pin. I may change the injectors but for now I'm leaving them alone. I'm going to towing 6000 lbs with it so I need the humph.

 

[wildcatjason]

I cut up my inner fenders and attached half of it to the front. Half to the back.

 

[wildcatjason]

Still working on smoothing it all out.

 

[wildcatjason]

Hit it with a high build primer. Showing lots of flaws. Lot more sanding, filler, and repriming I see in my future.

 

[wildcatjason]

I'm putting a wastegated 12cm housing on my H1C. I hope it clears my ac and heat.

Somewhere back there I saw what looked like, err, what I call "squeeze cheese", expanding spray foam insulation, maybe? I take you use that for a foam core, then layer 'glas over that? Seems like the foam would make for a crappy surface to try and sand or even put filler directly onto.
