Well since I told Larry (and Don kinda knew last night) I will share with the rest of the class. I got me a new project today. I have been wanting one of these for a while now and this one came up. Anyways on with the pics...

Its an 87 hardtop(I know I wanted the convertible, but the price was right). It runs strong and looks real good on the outside(the interior needs some help). Plans include the Cal-Mini 6" SPOA, lockers, 33's,gears(of course), and maybe the engine upgrade. and get rid of those horrid shackles. I know its not a FORD:eek:(maybe you guys can forgive me:kick:), but I only gave 1100.00 for it. All the others I had been looking at was around 2k and up. Anyways wish me luck(this is uncharted territory) and don't shoot me if I get it done and show up at a run with it....

This fella I talked to while passing through kremling last month has one built up for crawling. I saw another one on the same drive all jacked up etc etc.

I say a lil 302 would make that pup run perty good.

Right on Mark! :thumbsup: I've seen those things wheel & they do great.

The best part is, if it breaks on the trail, just put it in your pocket & carry it home :laughing2:

They're great crawlers... Lot of guys out here wheel them...

I think if you look for some Geo axles they have something like a 5.13 gears in them stock... I can find out from my buddy if you want, he swapped some into a customers rig...
