well... what I was going to do with my studie, was blend a '79 3/4 ton camper special Dodge 440 4 X 4 with the 46 studie pick-up... make something "lower" but not slammed to the ground, build for doing 4 X 4 burn outs at the stoplights... as the price of gas went up, those ideas changed... but...

WOW bummer dude... I was really digging what you were putting down on the ride... nope... sorry... I don't talk like that... really liking what you're doing to your car... hope you heal well... those ankles can be weird to heal completely sometimes... thought I subscribe, so I catch when you...

How about using the contrast between black & white, butt keeping the lines clean & sharp, & keeping those original cop car colors, but "twisting" it some... like black with white flames, or contrasting striping or even just black & white graffiti ??? something that might be different, but...

BTW... the addition of the "teal" to the car, with a little "shocking" graphics, & I think it looks good how you pictured it...

I think the bigger Cherokee pick-ups had a straight axle in 2WD... & some of the early ( full sized ) Grand Cherokee's... but for the last couple body styles, they have been a-arm front suspensions

ya know... I'm pretty new to the "rat rod" thing, but have always liked hot rods, & never liked washing & waxing my ride... today I have a mile of gravel road... so no $10,000 paint jobs in my future... IMO, the "shoebox" is too conservative in lines... I think you need to either paint her up...

thanks... probably not much difference I'd assume

I assumed the rack was, & thought likely the A-arm suspension... but didn't know for sure ???

what is the front end out of that one ^^^ BTW... that one looks awesome... I did a www Jeep Hotrod search, for inspiration pictures, & that picture came up several times... so I have it in a file of pics...

Yup... me too... looking for something I can get driving for few $$$ as I'm looking to rebuild the original motor in my 38 Nash... I have an 80 CJ-5 that I used to compete in, & is worth more in parts than it is as a Jeep these days... plus it's old school, before all the aftermarket suspension...

Questions about vintage straight axle install... I'm kinda shopping for a front axle, this would be my 1st build using a straight axle... I came across an axle I like ( maybe the pics were reversed, or backwards ) but it looks like the hook up for the steering arm from the gear box is on the...

unless I find something I can drive for a year, fix up while I'm driving it, & flip it ( & you guys seem to find all the good ones ;) ) I think I'm going to "hot rod" my old CJ-5... this is the one I built years ago, & is worth more in good parts, than as a Jeep... so ( again, unless I can find...

had a meeting in Mankato yesterday, & my GPS took me right past Unique Auto ( a car dealership that sells almost exclusively, "collector" cars... I swung through on the way home, & told them I was wanting to down my Nash for a year or so, & was looking for something in the $3,000 ish range...

I can certainly appreciate the straight six 3 speed driver recommendation... like I said... love those luxury yachts, but all the power stuff to keep working is a night mare ( I hate having to open the door at the McD's drive thru, because the drivers door window doesn't go down ) & honestly...

BOB... I'd want to keep same corp...so a Ranger frame would be better :D starting price was $1,800.00 which I'd probably wait until just about snow flyin, & try & get them down quite a bit more... personally think it's too much for not even knowing if the motor is permanently stuck... a car...

while I rebuild the original motor in my Nash... found a 1961 Lincoln Continental sedan the other day... odo shows 47,000 miles ( might be 147,000 ) but the carpet looks too nice, & the interior looks dried out ( red leather ) not worn out, so maybe 47,000 ??? car lot pulled it out of an old...

all I can say is OMG !!! would love one of those 59 4 door sedans... that's the car my mom learned to drive in, it was an old clunker, & didn't have a muffler, & was loud... I was like 11 years old, & it's the 1st car I ever lusted after... I was so... ****ed when my dad sold it... even at 11...

Awesome pics... I think 3 of those pictured were at the Northfield MN kick off show ( for sure the wood camper truck with the cane poles on the side, & the one with the 57 chevy panels made into the pick-up )... also the one with the Ontario Canada plates you didn't happen to get a peek under...

would be interested in seeing the pics... my buddy had taken 2 weeks vacation & was trying to get out by 4:00 & got stuck working later... so by the time we got to Northfield, it was almost dark... by the time I got parked & set up for the show, it was really too dark for pictures...

thank you sir...:)
