BIG RED

This build will get rid of the slowness of the Bruiser, and the baby's toy of the Clodbuster....it will have big power!

Big power and questionable suspension, this is going to be a sight to see and seriously wild ride when it is done! It's probably going to need an exocage to keep that body intact! lol

And my poor bootleg bruiser will likely never see dirt while I own it... :)

This is where I am at, the "diamond one" can't paint or customize the body till winter, but has some really trick stuff to do to it, changing the look of the bumpers, roll bar etc, plus filling the cheesy blower area, I am still working on it mechanically, gir a new clutch and tranny going in, plus another mod I can't disclose yet :roll:

I am not going to even dignify that with an answer.

I've always loved the look of a subtle cowl induction hood (meaning 1.5" or 2") on C/K square bodies. Just a thought.
What you have done thus far is badass. Good stuff.
