    Mate that's a fantastic rig!! Love the A-Frame front. I'd love to get some design help from yourself for the VW Sand Rail my son is building. I'm good with attaching to the frame it's the wheel end that concerns me. I hope to hear from you

    I just read that you sold it... it was a super clean rig! I love how the rear fenders look with the rear cowl. They're shaped perfectly. What fenders are they?

    • @bajaroy1
      @bajaroy1  4 роки тому +1

      Thank you, yeah it was a clean fast car. The rear fenders were from a 7 piece baja fiberglass body kit. I cut and reshaped the fenders to give them a cleaner line and flow with body better

    • @bajaroy1
      @bajaroy1  7 років тому

      Cole . Well all together I have 30k into the car but I have also rebuilt the a few different times which is why I have more $$ into it. But if you did all the fab work yourself like I did your probably 15-20k in parts.

    Did the tube chassis / roll cage come as a kit or is it from scratch? I'm starting my own 67 with sb chevy. And I like how this looks

    Doing this same swap, how far did you move your tans back for the arms? Also i was planning on plumbing the Rad to the front how does yours handle with the weight at the rear?

    • @bajaroy1
      @bajaroy1  7 років тому +1

      I moved my trans back 2 inches for the 3x5 arms. The car handles great i've done a bit of tuning on the shocks so you cant notice the weight in the at all.

    What trans axle did you go with? And did it hold up good with the ls?

    • @bajaroy1
      @bajaroy1  4 роки тому

      It was a fully built VW 091 bus trans axle and the motor was a Honda v6 not a LS. The trans axle held up great as long as you drove the car smart and didn't do anything stupid with it. When i first built the car i wanted a Mendeola trans but it wasn't in the budget at the time
