How she sits today after a 60mile trip at 70mph.
I still need to replace the inner fenders someone between me building it and buying it back put in there, and also need to find a front air damn to clean the front end up.

Ive learned alot in the 10 years since I built it so I'd change just about every thing I did, however I tried to make it look as "factory" as I could
Maybe someday when I get some money saved up I'll put a linked suspension in and convert to propane.

Looks like jeep front suspension with the shackles up front. reverse them and get a better approach angle. Still a awesome trar.
Best post in this thread!Found an ad on Classic Car Trader for a '76 Chevette and the guy is asking $4,950.
I sent him an e-mail:
"$5000 for a Chevette? Are you serious? You sure you didn't look up the value for a CORvette??"
His response:
"We can set up a payment method if you cannot pay in full. Thanks."

They are strangely popular around here. The guy that runs out 4wheeler race track has a 77 Corvette that he converted to 4x4 with some old 40ins on it. Our local place has a cop car called mud patrol on 44s, a 70s Lincoln towncar, a 80s Camaro and a showroom clean 80s somethin Crown Vic that is fully loaded. And one of my friends has almost talked me into scrapping my suburban and buying the early 70s 4 door Cadillac Fleetwood with white leather and putting it on my frame.

My buddy has an '89, 4 door, Caprice "secret service" car....
I would LOVE to put one of those on a 4x4 frame.

Mine will be getting the d30 taken out and a built 44 put in shortly. Gonna stay with 35" tires but probably go with something more agressive. rear axle is going to get moved back a hair, and the fronts comming forward, hopefully atleast the front gets linked while im at it. Oh and propane
