Looks good. The cut of the rear fender reminds me a little of some of the early broncos, although those EBs covered the tire a heck of a lot more.
Any concern that the front part of the fender will contact the tire? It is the closest to the tire.

Thats a clean Bob Job! It looks wierd, so short and all. I guess I've never seen a bobbed Scout before.
Nice work!

That is nice work!!....stock wheelbase or you moving the axles outward {probably not as you just got done doing the body work}? That would look AWESOME Full width with some larger tires 37" or greater....

just noticed the exhaust pipe sticking out the back....
I know you'll get to it, but it looks kind of funny!!

The wheel base will get stretched 3-4", 2 or so in front and maybe and inch in the back, I picked up waggy springs for the front, and I am in the process of building the 60's right now. (Anyone have 60 inners they want to sell??)
End result will be 104" ish wheel base full width with 37's. SOA on waggy front and TBD in the rear. I would like to go link suspension, but it has to be streetable/high speed washboardable, not my DD, I just like to drive to the trails.
As for the atlas, my whole rig does not come close to the price tag on one of those
, I am going to keep the d300 and hopefully run a 203 doubler in front of it.

44's
are you going to fit in the garage?? it looks damn good.I wont need 44's now that I got rid of the rock catching rear end
. I will probably have to cut the front of the wheel well a little closer to the b column, but I will wait until I get the suspension done and the tires on.Originally posted by troutbum
44's

its not going to fit unless the tires are flat, I hope super swamper comes out with a 40 soon
on cutting the front wheelwell, I'm kind of stumped on how much to cut out of the rear part, alot of structural support there to mess with, better off moving front end more foward
anyways heres a current pic of progress on my pile

Wow.....isn't that Allis Chalmers orange? You've got a Trashinal....shouldn't that be a deep red?
Looks good though....did you spray it on?

Yeah I would be reluctant to cut too far into the A column...IIRC waggy springs have 22.5 offset so with 44" rubber either way you will have almost a flat approach angle...why not stretch it?
