TOPIC:

Finally got some work done on my SRB Ford F150 Ranger with the Butterfly chassis that I made couple months ago. Still a long way to go to get it finish. May be till next spring.

Wide front axle and front body mount. I am unable to locate an original F150 front body post so I make use of the one from the Sand Scorcher.

Dual shock mount, roll bar and roll cage that I made. Spend some to figure out how to put the dent spot where the rear post is mounted on.

Ford F150 Lexan body and some more goodies for the project.

Ball universal joint. Race Prep high torque motor. I can't even turn the motor shaft with my fingers.

Most excellent

Did some more work on the Ford over the holiday break.

Scraped the dual rear shock mount idea, changed it into a single shock mount instead. The mount is cut out of a 7075 aluminum sheet.

Fabricate a shock tower saver for the wide front axle.

Cut a piece of Kydex for the rear skid plate. Similar to the CRP one but extended to the rear cage.

Truck with new fabricate front body mount.

That's it for now!

Very nice work. Love the little B&D Workmate - might need to get one of those.

What is the bent tube thing bottom left?

The bend tube is for a rear hitch step that still in the works.

I know this is really old, but do you know where I could find a set of those dual rear shock mounts for the scorcher?

Thanks
