Ground-up Flat Fender Build

So... we are working on a flatty. Well we have wagoneer axles and a Chevy drivetrain, but there will be some flatty. In all reality I'm just building a 4x4 that will look like a jeep. Not much jeep, but still a fun build. Hopefully I can retain the nostalgia of the icon while still having a modern and reliable 4x4. Enjoy!

Good Bye...

The jeep is gone. Here are some of its last photos. We had a good run together. If you look close you can get a glimpse of my future jeep.

I've been working on this low buck sway bar. It is made from a toyota ifs torsion bar. I made some custom arms, and had to refine a few things. I think it is going to work out well. Time will tell.

Decided to lower the front today too. It went very smooth and I'm extra happy with the results.

It lives again!!

Front is sitting around 1.5-2" too high still and the rear corner haven't been made yet, but it felt good to take it for spin.



To my surprise, the springs seem to be balanced fairly well from front to back. We'll see.

fuel tank cover

Fuel tank is in, plumbed, and covered. Just need to fit in the filler and slosh in the gas. Also had my shocks charged today.
