[QUOTE="P, post: 338556, member: 3"] Alot of the OG members know this rig. It is / was my Dads ( He's doing fine dont worry ) Anyway, this sumbee has been sittng for somewhere in the nieghborhood of 4- 5 years. The engine was completely rebuilt and barely has any run time on it. Its a 355 with a little cam and some EFI goodies that came off Greg Carey's old Flaming Blue Jeep / Tanners Buggy. Im going to redo all that suspension this winter and likely build a full chassis for it to give it some strength and get it down outta the air so much. Its going to stay on the built D44 and 60 rear for now but will end up on tons at some point. Started painting it , its going to have the stars and bars as flames going over the OD Green. Goals are to keep it streetable ( it is registered and titled ) add a rear bench for kiddos and friends an just enjoy the **** out of it as much as possible. Shes been sitting in the weeds to long !! This was right before my D-vorce and when the engine got rebuilt in 09 [IMG]http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g94/hardlinecustom/Projects/workday3-31004.jpg[/IMG] Dad got it running and tuned a bit , watched Fox News for3 years straight and painted it again, this is how I picked it up a few months ago [IMG]http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g94/hardlinecustom/PatriotWillys.jpg[/IMG] It sat outside in Sumiton AL that entire time, I dont know what this black **** is / was but the entire rig was peppered in it, lots of leaks from seals and so forth drying up but a little fresh gas and a charged up battery and she fired up.
