Hello everyone,

Thought I would share a few images of my chassis I am building to replace the one under my Allison Dunebuggy.  Comments welcome.

Regards,

WOW !!!!  Looks great, but I see a few more places you could have installed "Something".   :lol:
     I just barely got started on my Allison,but I'm at a halt right now . I just had a slab poured for my new shop in the back yard. My front yard looks like "Sanford & Son'
      Keep the pics coming.

Fred, Tell me about the rims /tires. They really look good. My Allison still has the old school Ansen type mags.  13" on the front and 14" on the rear. I'm sort of torn between keeping them or doing something different

wheels and tires

« Reply #4 on: July 20, 2006, 05:11:14 PM »
The wheels are off of a Porsche 911S rear are 8.5 inch front are 6 inch.  Had them polished by Southern Metal Finishers.  Tires Are Dunlop GT Qualifiers.  The front discs and rear drums are drilled for the Porsche bolt pattern.  I had some special Porsche wheel spacers built by a fellow in Miami for the rear to get the wheels outboard another 1.5 inches on each side.

Are you going to keep the same color on the body or will it be red like the engine? At any rate it's really looking good!!!!!!!! 8)

Allison color

Not going to keep the "Barney" color.  The plan is to paint it Corvette yellow with black and some white accents.  

Thanks for the compliment.

Fred
