Bandit240 Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Not a bit of damage on the Honda. It was a 1997 Accord 4dr. Tough car. She drove home, i busted the rad, had to go get my granddads truck and a dolly. Quote Link to comment

cbsrt4 Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 newbie to the forum. Ive got a 73 620 here are some pics of what ive done so far. Quote Link to comment
cbsrt4 Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 I got the truck for a $100 about 8 months ago. Since then it been chop cut rebuild. The original owner had a l18 installed. I rebuilt it and had bored 30 over because the cylinder walls had rusted(somehow i lost the pics of the rebuilt motor). I removed the torsion bars and c notched the rear and installed a 4 link with bags. I cut the top off and cut 4 inches out of the A pillers, shavedor should say built the wiper cowl with the back of the old hood much easier than shaving it. Made the rocker panels out of old shelving I got from work. I built A sheet metal dash it will eventually hold stewart warner gauges also took and cut about 6 inches off the steering colum plenty of arm room now. Its a work in progress. Ive treid my best to make or build every thing myself keeping to the ratsun theme. Quote Link to comment
