Ah, the old "do what you want" explanation. Makes perfect sense.
I am going to assume that is the hellcat in the photo, and I could not have imagined you could squeeze that in the space between the frame rails. Did you have to move the cab rearward, cut out and raise the transmission tunnel, or both?
My daily is a Fiat 500. Laugh, but it has almost 150,000 miles on it and all I have done is regular maintenance, nuisance repairs and buy wheel covers. I tried to change the transmission fluid, and found out you can't. I am thinking of trying to suck out the old fluid out the dipstick tube.
Anyways, back to Power Wagons. I bought a 2nd FFPW, and I have no idea why, or what I am going to do with it. I am building the first one mostly stock, because I just need it to haul lumber and building materials with. Probably won't even paint it until I am done building my house, and I am sure I am not going to install a new stock bed until I am finished hauling materials around.
But, I am thinking about the 2nd PW. Maybe I want to drive it on the highway to haul a trailer and track car. If so, what are the most practical and least expensive ways to modify it to do 70 mph at 2000 RPMs? And I expect that the most practical is not the least expensive. The track car weighs 936 lbs, dry.
