From center of spindle to bottom edge of fender is 22" and that is with it off the ground. So it will be a little less when it's on the ground.

Sweet! how do you plan on rasing the rear? just adjusting plates? or are you going all out?

by bakertim2 Mon Nov 01, 2010 9:27 pm

The plan as of now is to put in a 65 bus tranny with redux boxes. should be pretty close to matching the front.

by Cave Man Mon Nov 01, 2010 10:26 pm

I would love to build me one like this as a driver with a little of the ATV/SUV look.

by Cambur Mon Nov 01, 2010 11:10 pm

Love the Idea of the redux boxs! I cant wait to see this thing moving!

by bakertim2 Tue Nov 02, 2010 10:02 am

Cave Man, This one is going to be a driver and going to be for sale when I get it going. The plan is to build this for sale to finance Elke, my bay window bus project.

by Cave Man Tue Nov 02, 2010 11:00 am

Where is the rest of the pan for the thing? cant you put Bug pans in it and run the thing pan without going to the redux boxxes?

by buggin70 Tue Nov 02, 2010 12:47 pm

no u cant and he got the thing beam from cambur when he had his thing and they lowered it

by bakertim2 Tue Nov 02, 2010 1:13 pm

Yes you can put bug pan halves into a thing chassis, cause i've done it before. You're right about the front end coming from Michael.

by buggin70 Tue Nov 02, 2010 1:16 pm

i was saying u cant just drop it on...

by bakertim2 Tue Nov 02, 2010 9:57 pm

Ok, so I got the front finished and back on the ground. Here are a few more pics.

Looking good! That is a lot of lift!

by bakertim2 Tue Nov 02, 2010 10:33 pm

Wait til I get the right tires on it.

by callahan Wed Nov 03, 2010 12:13 am

donk! donk! donk!

by DOODLE BUGG Wed Nov 03, 2010 7:05 am

you need to do a body lift next very easy to make your on

by bakertim2 Wed Nov 03, 2010 8:11 am

I've never been a big fan of body lifts. I think it doesn't look good and really the only gain is a little taller tire. Alot of work for maybe an inch of ground clearance.

by fried_chicken Wed Nov 03, 2010 9:27 am

looking great i always wanted a class 11 look bug i just cant convence the wife to like the look.

My wife thinks it's "ugly", I say "who cares".

Got the bus rgb tranny bolted in and started mocking up the spring plates. Anxiously waiting to see her back on the ground all high and mighty.
