I’d build that into an actual muscle car

 

[Greg]

While not really what I'm interested in, I thought this kinda fit and is pretty interesting.

Uhhhh.... we will see how this turns out. No engine, transmission or title, but it's $500.

 

[Greg]

Well, I guess we're going to do this!

I'm not going to do much work right off the bat, the TJ is priority right now. My plan is to do a low buck LS swap, build the suspension up a little bit to fit around 32" tires. We will see how it all works out!

Less rusty than the ElCamullet?

What's that?

 

[Greg]

Found a set of 37" BFG KR2 tires out back, decided to see about how they'd fit in the trunk as spares and in the rear wheelwell.

Ermahgerd!!

I wonder if you can power wash that unfortunate white paint off and keep then original patina going.

Gotta make it "Death Proof"

I've been pressure washing for hours, when can I stop!!?

 

[Hickey]

It already looks faster wet.

I will say that the missing bumpers are already giving me bumper ideas. I love it!

 

[Greg]

Holy shit... I might have to make the 37" BFGoodrich KR2's work. That looks amazing!

DO EEEET!

I think you should run 8 lug wheels. Just because that would be cool on a car.

Probably will, get a Dana 60/70 rear axle and gear it deep to turn 37's. Was thinking about using some 2wd truck long travel A-arms up front and an 8 lug hub.

Look up “Super Duty” Catalina. I’m not sure if they were 8 on 6.5” but they were 8 lug

Edit: they are NOT 8 on 6.5

This is the way

 

[I Lean]

OK. I'm on board with this 37" idea.

You can get all the way down to 7.17 in D60 or D70 flavors.
