slngsht Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 She will be taking her final trip of the year tomorrow. Destination is Snowshe, WV, where the winter modding season will begin :hurray: Just a few cosmetic mods planned for this year: 1- Roll bar extension, removable roll cage. 2- Modify the frame tunnel area to make it narrower and taller 3- Modify seat belt mouting points 4- Modify and move the dash back (more cabin room) - also, relocate the LCD to a recessed location behind the steering wheel 5- Custom gas tank 6- Re-redo the front Aarms for better adjustability 7- Minor machine work on the front spindles for getting a tad more room for the rubber boots 8- I might play with the pedal assembly too 9- Make an actual housing for the tail lights, or get different ones 10- Paint the nose and rear fenders 11- Take the rest of the paint off aluminum parts In addition to these, I'll be acquiring some better rubber for the current wheels (RA-1's or R888), as well as a 2nd set with some slicks.
Boxologist Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 does 3. include doing away with the james bond passenger side ejection seat?
slngsht Posted November 2, 2007 Author Posted November 2, 2007 heh, yes. Hopefully with the tunnel modified, I can get my old Kirkeys back and bolted up.
MHKflyer52 Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 Will Franken7 be getting a new name with this re-make.
slngsht Posted November 2, 2007 Author Posted November 2, 2007 Will Franken7 be getting a new name with this re-make. 2 years ago, she got the LS1 / T56 transplant. Last year it was different rearend, different front suspension, brakes, etc... and new side panels. So, this is normal.
slngsht Posted November 3, 2007 Author Posted November 3, 2007 Well, 5 glorious hours of enjoying the great scenery and roads to Snoeshow. The colors are beautiful. I was thinking just how reliable old Frankn7 has been... when she sprang a leak from the radiator, and started to spike a temp about 20 miles from my destination :lol: With the help of a friendly local, I put some water in there, and was on my way BTW, while I had the hood off on the side of the road, one of WV's finest cruised by and didn't bother to offer assistance. To serve and protect
MHKflyer52 Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 He was most likely scared of FRANKEN7.:jester:
Boxologist Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 coulda been one of Tennesee's finest at a new location. TotD's web site says that patrols are way down.
Arya Ebrahimi Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 Really looking forward to cuttin' her up! :reddevil:
