troyt Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Did you cut in a sedan rear floor pan, or just fab up some brackets to mount the crossmember and diff mounts onto the wagon undercarriage? Quote Link to comment
521 Dropsun Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Please do not go with some knock off brand of air bags. That wagon is way to cool to destroy just because you installed some inexpensive bags. Stick to the name brands, Contitec, Firestone, or Slam Specialities. Just looking out for a fellow ratsuneer. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment

Icehouse Posted November 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Did you cut in a sedan rear floor pan, or just fab up some brackets to mount the crossmember and diff mounts onto the wagon undercarriage? We did save a whole sedan floor pan but ended up just using chunks of it. We want the wagon to look factory on the inside :D Please do not go with some knock off brand of air bags. That wagon is way to cool to destroy just because you installed some inexpensive bags. Stick to the name brands, Contitec, Firestone, or Slam Specialities. Just looking out for a fellow ratsuneer. :thumbup: We would get some classy ones but $$ is what rules most of our projects :( updates??:D None haha :D To many other projects right now.

troyt Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Any chance you could post a pic, or describe, which parts of the sedan rear you used? I'm at the exact same stage and am trying to decide what to use. Thanks, Troy Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 That thing is low... More pics!!! :D Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted February 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Last pic, I haven't been taking to many pics it turns out. I think winter kinda hinders us photo takers. Every time I want to snap one it's to dark!!! It still doesn't have any rear brakes and the upper shock mount needs to be reinforced but other than that she drives pretty damn good. Well we did end up killing the diff :( Somehow we forgot to check to fluid so now its kinda loud.... For some reason 68 fuel tanks are different, our original tank was rusted out from not having a cap on it for 23 years while it sat. We got one from Bryce on credit :) It still doesn't fit perfect but good enough. Quote Link to comment
Duke Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Looks SOOOO sick! Now that is how a goon should sit! Very cool stuff Ice. Whats up with the crazy shock mounts? Are you using the stock goon shock mounting location? Or just trying to keep the cargo area flat? Quote Link to comment

Are you using the stock goon shock mounting location? Or just trying to keep the cargo area flat? Damn right that's how they should sit :) Dude we layed under that fucker for hours trying to figure out how to mount shocks but leave room for the fuel tank and not cut into the rear hatch area.... Hours! From my Datto truck knowledge I remember that they have really short shocks so we just used truck shocks and dropped them as low as we could to keep them out of the cargo area. What do you think we should have done? It actually doesn't ride that bad and the horns look kinda cool :) Quote Link to comment
