Here's what I have in mind. I believe this to be a photo shop job, but it gives you the idea. Smaller tires for sure too!

Ask and you shall receive :-)
I'm a purest.... No fender flaires for me!!!!!!
Would not want to be in either in a::Drive2::. Shoot the axles weigh twice what the rest of the car weighs. You would be a pancake by the time it was finished.
See, I would easily drive that first one. ::Banana::
I have always wanted to do that, I almost did to my honduh Del Slow

I can't see it being much different than a gutted out CJ.
Low center of gravity is a plus but the difference is that on the CJ the sheet metal actually has structural integrity. It wont dent just by breathing on it.
I guess before I pass judgement I need to see how the suspension was buitl and how they did the subframe to support all the components.
I wouldn't mind driving over cars in rush hour instead of just sitting there::EvilBana
If I built it, I bet I could get Merv to make me a safe cage, as long as I let him borrow it from time to time. This something I'd really like to do.
At an All 4 fun event in 79' a guy showed up with an Austin Healey using a 350 and Scout running gear. It has super wide tires for the trail, I have a pic to prove it. Guess it's time to get it scanned so I can show it.
There is a guy in OKlahome with a late 60's Camaro 4x4. I beleive he used a scout frame and running gear on it.
There's a late 80's Olds Achieva in Denton using a Bronco running gear. It looks very goofy, the body just sits on posts welded to the frame.
Guess it wasn't a photoshop........
