Formula toyota #2

[NUb]

Well I have had this thing at my house for about two years now and never made any forward progress on it. but after MCR5 my truck had seen its last voyage and it was time to get this thing going. My donor truck for this project is a 91 2wd shortbed. I plan to use the axles and suspension out of my old truck so i should be allready to go.
here are some pics to start things off.
what it looked like when i brought it home a while back. and after sitting at my house for a couple years.

aftr some cutting it was free of the old Frame and ready for the new

[NUb]

Started to strip down the 91 everything must go but the engine and the frame.

[NUb]

then it was time to get ride of all of the extra brackets and of corse the IFS. so on the stands it goes.

[NUb]

enough distruction now we start to put the pieces back together. Made in-board rear sringhangers using my old all-pro ones and some 2X4 box.

lookin good.. where did you get those jackstands? those are huge, just what i need.  are you planning to box the frame at all since its a 2wheel drive?

[NUb]

once i got it on the ground it was time for the engine,trans, and cases. I picked up a turbo bell-housing so i can run my freshly rebuild r-150 v6 trans out of my old truck and my 23-spline marlin duals.

thanks. they are NAPA 10 ton jackstands. a little over kill but its nice not to work on the ground or stack lots of blocks. in the pic they are all the way down 32" extended they reach 47". the frame is all ready boxed just like the 4x4's

formula toys are sick. that would be so fun to have one. i couldnt imagine all the dumb things id try.

[KYOTA]

those jackstands kickass but for $300 bones  I think I'll build a set out of remnant tube I have laying around. http://www.napaonline.com/MasterPages/NOLMaster.aspx?PageId=470&LineCode=NLE&PartNumber=7915250&Description=Jack+Stand+%2f+Professional

Ftoy is looking good btw

Sweet dude, i can't wait to see this thing once it is done.  and it was good meeting you at MCR5, sucks about the output shaft though.  are you gonna have this ready for the Tin Benders Jambo in April?

[NUb]

yeah hopefully i will get this thing done by the jambo. if i do i will defiantly be down there.
got the gas tank and rear crossmember done. its looking good but i still have a lot of work to do.
