Gunit's class 3 racer build

gunit · Post by **gunit** » Mon Dec 14, 2009 12:40 am

I asked for a place where I could share the build of my race Bronco, here it is.

I purchased the project after the basic chassis had been built and the body had been hung so we start from there.

Dave,

Awesome build. I love seeing this rig progress.

By the way, what's doing with that 80s Black Bronco?

That black Bronco belongs to my brother, he is building a prerunner that is coming along nicely. Hopefully he will join and post the build.

Looking good Dave!! Are you planning a full SCORE schedule next year? There's a championship for the taking. Ha! Thanks for posting. The first race rig at GFB. Right on!

Wow... that thing is a beast!

Whats up with the interesting geometery on the beam pivots? Did your fabricator use silicon-bronze rod when welding your beams?

Is he keeping it old school with the original front grille?
