I have decided to put a diesel engine in my rat rod. As much as I love my truck I built this thing with the intention of beating on it constantly. It has turned out to not be as reliable as I would have hoped for. I have worked out all my bugs but, at the end of the day it makes a good cruiser and ...

biglady112

Thank you.

Redesigned the front suspension. I was able to align it correctly finally. Albiet with a tape measure but, it came out pretty close and drives pretty straight. I have driven this thing a bunch even when it has been in the teens here in Denver. As log as it is not snowing or I am in a ...

New and improved. Now with a gnarly 4G63.

I finished this vehicle. I unfortunately have to build another motor as the old, stock 4G61 seized on the dyno after our second full pull. The poor little guy just had too many 9000rpm runs in its life. It looks like a few of both the rods and the mains started to go and contamination took out the ...

After seeing all the dollars my friend was spending in the never ending cycle of land speed racing, I decided to take a step back for a while and build a vehicle that if I wanted to some day could be finished for racing if I get that itch again, or just satisfy my need for speed now. I built this my ...

biglady112

I have had a rough few days trying to figure this out. I was dead set on using the dodge front end and fenders. Well with the way things worked out and how everything sits, the fenders were 16-18" too short. I thought long and hard, and could only come up with two solutions. Run just the grill or ...

biglady112

It comes out to about 11* from tail shaft flange to the pinion flange on the rear end. I am going to have to talk to a drive shaft shop, but it will have to be at least a two piece drive shaft as well. I am likely going to have to go with super heavy duty chromoly parts on the driveline.

biglady112

A few more things. In a few down moments between working out the bugs on my Samurai's new engine, I finished up a ew things. I made and welded in the rear transmission mount, I finished all but on vacuum line, mounted the boost controller and finished the oil cooler lines and setup. The only line ...

biglady112

Many moons ago when this engine was in my Colt, in order to run the turbo and exhaust I wanted in that car, we had to move it to the back of the engine. We just used some angle iron, the factory a/c bracket the bolts to the back of the motor and all the factory a/c pulley system. The alternator is ...

biglady112

I am still waiting on parts for my samurai to finish the engine rebuild, so I have been staying busy on the truck. Made a ton of progress. I mounted the radiator, mounted the oil cooler, ran one of the lines as that is all the line I had left here, cut the fire wall for the transmission, installed ...

biglady112

I welded the front clip together today. Both my uncles came up with probably the best idea yet for the truck. They said make the front end tilt forward. I am pretty sure I am going to have to do that. I love the idea.

biglady112

It is a Rev-Hard manifold.

biglady112

My new samurai had a spun bearing and a bent rod. So I needed to free up some space on one of my engine stands. I was running out of options when it hit me, I could install the race motor in the truck. At this point I am certain I am not going to paint the frame. So this will be the first and last ...

biglady112

I actually am running the standard DSM piping route. So that is the main reason for moving the engine so far "forward". I invested a lot of time, effort and money to make the 10 injector setup and hotpipe. I do not run an intercooler so no worries for any room up front. The radiator will actually be ...

biglady112

What do you want to know?

biglady112

I could not wait any longer. I purchased an adapter from a friend.

biglady112

Been busy with a few other projects. But a little closer now.

biglady112

Yep, this is how I roll now.

biglady112

I have been working a ton lately on the truck. The chassis welding is finished. The suspension is all done. And the bed is mounted. I hope to have the motor mounted soon. I still need a transmission adapter and will likely pick one up from a friend, I just need some more cash. But I hope things ...

biglady112

Sorry. I haven't looked since I last posted.

I ended up moving all the front bars and lengthening two of the front bars for the suspension. I found out that is it cast steel and accepts a weld very well. I originally had welded two of the four link brackets to the rear pumpkin. I talked to a friend ...

biglady112

I was jumping on it yesterday and it seemed fine. But I can look closer and trim the brackets if need be.

biglady112

i certainly have not forgot about this project. After I spent a small fortune on the suspension, I took some time off to let my wallet heal. That and with race season here we were busy with the race car. Oh, and I decided to turbocharge my N/A Eagle Summit.

But I finished a few more things. I got ...

biglady112

No new work to report as I have not got down to cut some more brackets.

But I did pick this little gem up today for $75. TH400. Oh yea.

biglady112

If you read above there will be a four link in the front and rear.

biglady112

I had a little time today between calls so I moved the axle back to its permanent(correct) location. That sure made a huge difference on the steering and that looks and feels right now. Given the low height of the truck, the geometry still appears to be close even if it is 180* off from how it was ...

biglady112

Well it's sort of a roller now. I did mess up a little. As I was taking pictures I was curious as to why I was having a little trouble with the steering earlier. So I took the steering linkage off to count the turns lock to lock. I counted 4 3/4 turns. And I had the damn steering box all the way ...

biglady112

Well it was getting real late last night. So I just cut as many plates as I could. I still need to cut some more and bring them home and tack them on. I am going to be tacking on a lof of metal the next two weeks before I take the frame back down for the final welding. A lot of details to be had ...

biglady112

A little progress. I finished both frame rails on the truck. It is 2x4x3/16". I have the cab mounts done on one frame rail. I still need to finish the other and get a few cross members done so I can bring the frame back home. I was slammed at work last week so I coul donly get so much done.

But I ...

biglady112

We took Retribution to the dyno today to give Nick his baseline. I was wanting to get a little crazy for a change and see what we could do with the car. But once we worked through our issues Nick decided to send the car to Utah on wastegate pressure and turn it up there.

We rebuilt the throttle ...

biglady112

I plan on just doing a simple coilover setup all the way around. It is only like $600 for everything so not a bad invesetment and it won't take up a bunch of room like a suicide front end or a leaf spring setup. I had the planned from the get go. Just need to make sure I get the right metal for my ...

biglady112

Well I have good and bad news. I will not be able to use the frame my truck came on. The good news is I get to make my own frame.

I borrowed a torch again so I could start straightening the frame and getting all the dents out of it. I was making ok progress but noticed the passenger side was in bad ...

biglady112

Well I have been making progress. Just not sharing that is all.

I finished chopping the passenger door. That ended up being very difficult. That side of the truck was definetely crushed at one point and it got the door real bad. That and I had to try and rig something up to make the door seal as ...

biglady112

Well I only have the passenger door left to do for the top chop. Will likely take all day like the driver's door. But we finally have the actual look of how this is going to be. It is far from perfect or pretty. But it all is pretty solid and I feel confident I won't have any issues with the top. It ...

biglady112

Well here is my progres so far. 4" chop and it has been a little rough, but manageable so far. I sure am learning a lot about metal. But, things are progressing and I hope to work on the front pillars tomorrow. They should be tough. I think I may just make it easy on myself and "plate" the gaps I ...

biglady112

The cab has been braced. I just did not show it in the picture. It is braced front to back twice and side to side twice. I am just going to chop it. I may not be talented enough to go further.

biglady112

No turning back now.

biglady112

I did get a little work done the last two weeks. But not much. We adopted a dog then had to return him for being aggressive with our other dogs. Then we got a puppy this past weekend and have been busy all week with her. But here we go.

I have the frame where I want it and the truck sitting how I ...

biglady112

Made good progress the past two days. But it took nearly one day per side. I frenched/hacked in each headlight and got them off the top of the fenders and placed in the front of the fenders. Came out ok for my first time I guess. I know given some time and the right project I can do damn good, but ...

biglady112

Made it a little further tonight. Got the entire front suspension off. I am still on the fence about keeping some sort of running board, but my dad is trying to get me to keep some sort of running board. I will experiment this coming week with ideas and looks as what is on there is some old crappy ...

These are what I plan on going with.

biglady112

Well it is starting to look like a rat rod. I spent last night finishing off the seams of the bed. As well as the 10 holes from the fender bolts. I spent tonight removing all of the rear suspension. It took a little fighting, but for the most part it was not too bad. But I set the rear frame on jack ...

biglady112

Jeff the truck already has a corporate 12 bolt in it. I plan on keeping that in there and installing a locker in it. It is a decent rear end and should handle all my goals with the truck.

biglady112

I have been busy. Both with work and this build. Just have not had anything really to post up. I spent a lot of time getting the fire wall sealed up. But I made a lot of progress yesterday on the bed. On thursday and friday I spend the day tearing the bed off the truck. What a clutser fuck they had ...

biglady112

I have plenty to update, but not much picture worthy. Just some holes and seams welded. Unfortunately my funding for the month went to putting one of our dogs down today. So the next update will be next month when I mock up the motor and tranny. Plenty of work by then I can report, just nothing ...

biglady112

There is not even going to be a muffler. It won't be a tru rat rod, like ultra low budget, but it will be a slightly polished rat rod.

You are right about the body work. I don't give a fuck. Just throwing welds everywhere right now.

biglady112

I really wanted something from the 30's, but this will do.

biglady112

I started preparing the cab for its next phase. EEEWWWW. There was definitely mice living in this truck. I found two dead ones. I also vacuumed the cab to see hoe much glue and carpet padding were left. Crap. I need to go and get some supplies to get this stuff out before I finish welding the cab ...
