My good pal Patrick stopped in to help and it's a good thing he did, he caught a few mistakes I did (but I'll never tell)



Romeo you'll be happy that I'm cutting off lots of fat, it's pretty thick and heavy, ( looks like a slab of halibut)

Car-2-Lo;

I think the rest of them might be the smarter of the breed since they actually drive their's whereas all I do is work on mine changing more and more.....  I am having fun building for sure but I think it would also be fun to drive them.....

Keep up the great work on this one as it will be an interesting finished product

Cheers
Don

Time burns up to fast when you're having fun and really nothing to show for.
Clynt is tack welding something

She's going for a tummy tuck... RBS is going to look lean, mean and sexy
Overall chop will end up 4" , making it miserable for Patrick

WOW!  Nince to see you're going VDC on the chopper. I like the front widnow modification. The elongated windsheild should allow the chopper to have a visuals for side profile.  keep up the good work.

With the new bump steer suspension, I had to relocate the sway-bar from the back to the front (just like Patrick did).
There was a hole already on the a-arms and I just flipped the sway-bar around and bolted to the cradle

Johnny, it's fortunate that the sway bar mounting brackets were able to be attached directly to the cradle (no spacers required) just in front of the lower control arm bushings. Looks great.

Heck yah! I thought RBS died in the last movie but she is going to be the million Dollar or idea girl   Movie two has started and I have lots of popcorn.  Think you should all be Emmy nominated for the great work you have done and what is still yet to come.

Thanks Terry, I have the DREAM TEAM working with RBS Project, Clynt, Patrick and Blair.


Edit: Terry, feel free to photoshop (have fun with it) the new RBS what it may look like with the extreme facelift,
lower, shorter nose, longer windshield, and 4" chop, combo look between a Ferrari and Lambo

Johnny, you're being far too kind to me. Blair did an amazing job with the 3800sc installation, and Clynt is being a huge help to you now with your body mods. But other than stopping by occasionally to make sure you're not hurting yourself, I haven't done a helluva lot!

Keeping him safe is a pretty big job I'm shure, We all want to see it finished   

John I will give it a shot photo shopping for you and to the rest of you sorry for the Interruptions
