I applaud your outstanding vision, design and fab skills - your rig is bold and different

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Thanks man i really appreciate it! Theres a huge learning curve and im doing my best to make a one off suburban so well see how it all turns out...

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Amazing.... simply amazing.

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Thank you for the kind words sir. Im only 26 so theres a huge learning curve cause this is the first time ive ever taken on somthing like this....

Any advice from members like you is greatly appreciated (execpt for your small block theory!). A huge majority of the individuals on this forum are light years ahead of me with a wealth of knowlege that i would love and be honored to tap into as my build progresses... thanks again man

Just getting the center part of the chassis together... still trying to make sure everything lines up.

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Chassis almost done!!!! Time to pull the bottom one off and tack the chassis to the table to make sure its all level and get ready for full weld.

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Just about there just finishing up some of the bottom

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Hold Coped tube batman!!!!!

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Just more progress...

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

yay! finally done, just need to fully weld it together!!!!

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Has taken 77 hours to get to this point. I figure it will be another 3 or so hours to weld together depending on how much the frame wants to flex and oil can. Id love to complete it all together ready to powder coat in 90 total hours...

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Great work! There are a lot of cutting and fitting in these pics! Man you have talent and big kahones! :lol: By the way, sweet car next to the lift!

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Haha thanks man! Yea ive basically become best friends with a bench grinder. All of the notches are done free hand so as the project went along you learn some tricks. Primarly whatever you think you need to take off, material wise, grind off about half and test fit haha!
The car if its blue is a 71 challenger rt with a 383 stroker. If its a truck then its a 59 chevy fleetside with a crate 350 regardless thanks!

I know about take about half off other wise you end up with a pile of tubing that is worthless to anyone other than the scrap pile. :lol: Yeah, it was the Challenger. I'd love to have one some day!

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Haha! Yea i learned from the first messup to always cut the long pieces first that way if and WHEN you mess up you can use that piece on a short piece.

So started welding the chassis together and its just taking a bit of time cause just want to make sure it doesnt warp real bad by heating up. So the technique is just weld a few joints then do some body work and let it cool down. When body filler is applied while waiting for it to harden weld a little bit more ect.

In the mean time i transfered the body from my house where alot of the work was done to it and brought it over to my friends shop so that i would have a bigger spot to work on it as well as making the chassis mating alot easier.
