Not Exactly a B body

building something to tow Fugly to local shows, thought it might interest some of you....here's what I started with:

On a side note, when I backed it back in the garage, the amazing torque of the leaning tower of suspense ripped the engine clear out of the car,,,,must be 3000 ft lbs or better....on a more serious note, if anyone wants it, claim it before next weekend and it's yours- I don't want to mess with shipping local pickup only- it runs, probably needs bearings looked at, does not smoke and likely makes 40 hp in the current state of tune....

Man, that's cool! Awesome job!

Jason

You never cease to amaze us!I love it!

Nice work.....Looks sharp!

It looks way better than my '81 Cutless that I turned into an El Camino after a semi truck hit me.

Now to turn my 4 door Valiant into an Aussie Sport Ute....

Thanks - hoping to have running gear and interior done in the next couple months

as a man once told me"hell Yankee ,theres a texan that can fix that" guess so on that one!!!nice work texas...hell just noticed he was from same area cool....

Neat idea.major improvement over the 4 door.

'Need' to get over there and look at it in person! :D

That is unique and very cool! You sure can fabricate great.


What did you use for the bed liner floor if i could ask? Thanks..

bed made of .043 steel , bead rolled, over a 1X2 frame

Awesome work Damon. Now I know why I hadnt seen ya. That must suck up a lot of man hours

Thanks fugly, Reason i was wondering is there was a guy on some show i seen not to long ago that planed down some boards off a old barn, He then polyurethane them clear and had nice metal strapping between them, really looked sharp and was curious as how you did this one. You must have a tremendous amount of hours in this, it sure does look good..

lol, says the guy with the vert bird

yeah but mine was all bolt on stuff

Yeah I happened by while he was working on it. What would take me ten years takes him ten minutes. He can for damn sure git er dun.

Fugly saw this Tugly on another thread I like it, very very cool project, some great metal fab work & tastefully done... I would drive it every were proudly.... Good luck with the rest of the project...

Now thats Cool! Great job.

Pretty much finished now....here's some pics:
