The story

This vehicle is a life-long project (I actually started cutting on it in 1986!). It has seen one marriage go by the way, and has been sitting in storage since 1995! I gutted the body, built the mix of square and round tube, backbone-type frame to mount the 455 in a midship configuration; full, 12-point+ rollcage; split the body down the middle & widened it 12 inches; suicide doors; tilt rear, tilt front. It has Chip Foose Nitrous II wheels, 8x17's front/10x17's rear with Sumitomo HTR Z II 245/40ZR17 and 275/40ZR17 rubber. This is an on-again, off-again project that I hope will be done someday soon, before I'm too damn old to drive it! — Magilla
