July 16, 200916 yr ok so after my thought thread and the broken window it has begun here are some pics to start with and i will be picking up the sheet metal for the back wall. PS all welding on car has been done by B.O.S.S. including but not limited to. Shaved side markers, front bumper, and trailer hitch. Soon to have back wall. Rob. What it will look like. Where its at right now. This is a B.O.S.S. bumper.
July 17, 200916 yr Whats with the numbers on the right? never mind the numbers, lime green grill and a confederate flag?
July 17, 200916 yr Yea I never understood why Rob has a lime green grill on a flat black coupe lol, Guess it go's with the interior. But to each their own Man, that thing is going to look AWESOME with the extended cab! I like the bumper too, Alabamer Slammer! -Tom
July 17, 200916 yr Author easy answer for both of them I'm a non conformist oh and i like it haha Rob. Edited July 17, 200916 yr by subaruguru
July 17, 200916 yr Bumper isnt quite done yet fellas, still gotta fab up the bull bars and hoop for the lights I hope you left some excess metal for me to work with Robbie, it will make it a lot easier... Prolly gonna have to wait till Monday to start my part of the work on it though, I have to clean the shop out (again) and get Justin's wagon in there for the lift... -Bill
July 17, 200916 yr Author yeah there is plenty to work with and i was looking at it the other day and the back wall will be at a slight angle like we talked about doing. monday is fine if you want any help or just someone to BS with call me up. also how are the B pillars in ur burnt RX.
July 17, 200916 yr yeah there is plenty to work with and i was looking at it the other day and the back wall will be at a slight angle like we talked about doing. monday is fine if you want any help or just someone to BS with call me up. also how are the B pillars in ur burnt RX. Burnt, just like the rest of the car . I wouldnt try to use any structural parts from that car. Not from above the ground anyway... Ive got some more Ideas to think over when you get down here as well... -Bill
July 17, 200916 yr Author i would not use them fro structur but they could be cut out of the RX then weld them in to make the window frame for the side windows just to keep the shape i can explain more when im there.
July 17, 200916 yr eh, they had some bondo in them too... I guess we could check it out, but fire warps the thin sheetmetal on the outside of them, I wouldnt use them, for some reason it just seems wrong... just dont feel right -Bill
July 17, 200916 yr Author true true we can figure it out later i used a box spring and matress cardbord box to make the rear wall template its gonna look really really good then im gonna get some stacks Chrome stacks.
July 17, 200916 yr easy answer for both of them I'm a non conformist oh and i like it haha Rob. Right on! I'm with ya, there. Why make annother clone of something everyone else has already done?
July 17, 200916 yr Author i have not seen anyone make a coupe into a brat i have seen hatchbacks and wagons but not a coupe. I also like this body style and i would just get a brat but to spendy for a good one and they are to small I am a big guy . and copying kind of yes but i could say the same thing about a lot of people you have a lifted rig right?... see what i mean every one is copying someone one way or another. Rob.
July 17, 200916 yr but i could say the same thing about a lot of people you have a lifted rig right?... see what i mean every one is copying someone one way or another. Rob. Yep yep, I guess we all have the same tastes Lol. I guess if we didn't, hen non of us would be on here, right....? Gonna put stacks in the bed! Hahahaa, that'll look cool. Hey, how come no one has ever ran duel exhaust on a Soob? No Y-pipe, two seprete headers. Would the back pressure be wrong? -Tom
July 17, 200916 yr Bumper isnt quite done yet fellas, still gotta fab up the bull bars and hoop for the lights I hope you left some excess metal for me to work with Robbie, it will make it a lot easier... Prolly gonna have to wait till Monday to start my part of the work on it though, I have to clean the shop out (again) and get Justin's wagon in there for the lift... -Bill do you have a web site for your work?
July 17, 200916 yr Author he's working on doing a site. A few people do the duel exhaust but you need a cross over or an X pipe or it makes a mess of your power
July 17, 200916 yr I have dual exhaust on both my brats and the Beast, and I had dual exhaust on my RX too... I made an x pipe for my 1600 brat and it made a world of difference, but I think ill switch it to a crossover pipe for the sound Im looking for. The beast and my black Brat both have full dual exhaust and sound really mean, but I did lose some power by not putting in some kind of crossover. Oh and my Black Brat has stainless stacks.... -Bill
July 17, 200916 yr I figured there would be some power loss without a cross-pipe. anyhoo Bill, you wouldn't have a video of what these sound like with full duel exhaust (No x-pipe) ? Sorry Rob, not trying to boost ur thread -Tom
July 18, 200916 yr I have a couple vids of the Beast offroad one night, and in the snow one day I don't have anything from my Black Brat yet, I dont have a digital camera, all the footage was taken by my buddy -Bill
July 18, 200916 yr Author Ok so got my sheet metal today and it's roughly fit to the car still needs to be ribbed and then i need to cut the hole for the rear glass. but here are some pics of progress. looks good even with my lack of metal tools. Edited July 18, 200916 yr by subaruguru
