bobbed and convertibleized w/ a cage..or I was thinking p/u cabbed anyway I wouldn't be hurting the NADA value

Make it like a blazer and find a way to close off the back for winter runs. Find another pair of front doors to cut down. Can you trim the rear fenders up into the doors any? Would be nice with some 35s on it at the height it is now.

I figure I could shed a few hundred pounds by getting rid of the glass.
I'm also looking for a D44 pass drop for the front. I plan on using the rover suspension set-up w/ some mods. put an off-set d 60 in the rear. The gas tank will have to go. maybe I'll figure out a p/u cab soft-top or a removable roof panel in the driver area. I need someone w/ a plasma cutter! hmmm!?

I think Feller might still have one of those goofy offset D60 rears if you havent found on yet. How does cutting the top off not hurt the value of it?

b/c its already so low. its true, not being mean. thats the great thing about them for a buyer. nice vehicles but they just dont hold value.

I like, just make sure the go-fast holes in the hood are oval. I hear Lance has a drill that can do that ;)
cage looks cool. Needs support behind the seats of course, and a better job on the bob...

I have a 44 front housing with 4.10 gears and inner shafts. I also have ford 44 flat tops and 8 lug stuff but no brakes.

You can trim a little. I would need to put new wells in the back b/c rovers like to stuff tires. most people just move the axle back, that is what I'm planning on doing. I need full widths, I think RR's are around 60". I have a set of H1 rims which will take care of the width thing
