Pinky

[surpip]

I did not, had Eksahni do them. Not a bead roller job, nope. All by hand and chisel.

in flip flops in the dirt.

 

[Grendel]

so, side pipes on Pinky?

I think I can reflange a set of 3rd gen Corvette headers and pipes to fit my LT4...

 

[bdkw1]

Hell yeah!

Although it would probably sound better if you could sneak a cross over pipe in there.

Going to do a heat shield at all? I love side pipes, but they can be a bitch too

I am pondering it, but the company says no need. They're baffled, insulated and double tube.

Ah if insulated and double wall should be ok. I've just seen side pipes suck if hot at times

 

[Grendel]

I have LT4 flanges water jetted in .5" stainless.

Will cut the flanges off of these:

www.ebay.com

That way, I can cut the tubes and adjust them in.

 

[Grendel]

yeah, I like the side pipes and other changes.

 

[backchat]

I think i like the rims from the original rendering better, but dig the rest of the changes.

 

[Java230]

Yeah the pipes fit. And I still want it.

 

[Grendel]

Can't get those rims in a Corvette pattern or offset... and use them on a lot of renderings.

These are way lighter and 19x12's with the way out offset I want.

 

[Isdtbower]

I have tried to find rims like that to fit a Jeep also. it seems like I have seen a 20 on a rig though.

Hello there. This is my first in irate4x4. :) Thank to you
Thank you for posting the shots here. It is an honour to have our work on this project.
I am glad that you liked it. :)

Glad to see you, Ehsan!

We started welding up the fuel tank for it.

Hoping for over 16g in the tank itself, but worst case, will add 3.5g in a dummy bomb as a fill on a cage mount above the rear fender. Heck, may do it anyway.

 

[Grendel]

and it took 12.5g of water. So, doing two bombs.

 

[Grendel]

Yeah the pipes fit. And I still want it.

Come get it.

 

[bdkw1]

will add 3.5g in a dummy bomb

But the bomb says 4.55G on the side. Where's the other gallon going?

Beats the fuck out of me. Maybe I typo'd?

 

[Grendel]

I think it needs two.

I may even put the windshield on it...

 

[Isdtbower]

3 B windshield. Shorter.

3 B windshield. Shorter.

This is a CJ2 frame, that is widened to match the tub. Will cut it down.

Spectacular job you're doing on this. I can only imagine what a blast it will be to drive.

I have a question.



If you were going to put a small radius'd 90* on the radiator slots, how would you go about it?

I'm building a grill out of .080" alum and stuck on this part.

We have a laser cut em.

 

[gt1guy]

I knew I was going to screw up explaining what I need to do.

Hopefully this explains it better. Ignore the red colored stuff. I stole the image from the internet.

Let me know if I've failed a second time.

Go fish?

CAD Paint maybe?

Bending those radius' inward is no small feat. A die/buck/hammerform would have to be made for those slots. Probably at least three side by side so the lands in-between could be held flat. The neatest might be to make a Male die, when forced in he slot will bend those radius' down. There will be spring back so the female form should be robust to hammer or wood-block against. Everything needs to be clamped with utmost detail. The OP could write a couple chapters on this. And not to clutter up his build.

Why the OP, and most others, chose the laser in a flat sheet. It gets the idea across...and could probably be airbrushed a little to add some depth.

Pretty sure we are going to CNC or hand crank ours. The radius can be put in with a router similar to wood. Take several passes. With goggles on.

But someone might have a link to someone who took the time.

 

[Grendel]

Thicker material and use a Bridgeport or router.

Build them in two pieces and weld the air inlet on. You could finish weld from the back side.

Factory grills are stamped and thus have those for rigidity.

Two pieces it is. I can use thinner material for the radius part.

Thank you guys.
