Figured i'd go ahead and start a log on this build. *We've been building fixtures to move these into production and phase out the old model.
*

This is the new demo car for Federal Sandrail, my distributor for the west coast, and the first of the new line. *Minus a couple double sheer tabs for the shocks, and a couple steel floor pans being plasma cut (photo shopped into one of the floor pics) the frame is fully welded up. *Currently waiting on the power steering, alternator, and custom headers to show up so I can build the subframe.

The new design has less tubes, which means lighter, but it is stronger. *I widened the driver/passenger compartment almost 4", raised the roof up 3". dropped he floor down 4" in the front, (so there is a more upright seating position), moved the entire wheelbase back 6" to get more weight on the nose. I also eliminated all but 2 capped tubes in the design, one for the nose, one for the upper tail bar.

Currently reworking a lot of the aluminum work, but should have some pics up soon of them with the suspension bolted back up. *The trailing arms and a-arms are fully welded as well, we just have it stripped so we can move around to get the aluminum dialed in easier.

Some of the list for this car include.

31" paddle tires beadlock rims
31" tall triple razor front tires on beadlock rims
Reverse diff
coil over and double bypass suspension on all 4 corners (all chrome plated)
power steering
alternator package
GPS
Intellidash
LED light bar
Full exterior body work including wing
vinyl covered interior panels
front brakes
lexan windshield
full street legal
and lots of other things i'm forgetting.

So, feel free to post your comments, but I ask that we try to keep this topic on track so people don't have to wade through a bunch of pages to see the progress. *I was as much to blame as anyone for my last big log being so many pages long...
