building this for a summer beach runner.i love the short w/b of the b2,but wanted something a little more updated(and shorter-this is 88"w/b).took a 96 5.0 exp and sawzalled it in half,ditched about 2' from the middle,welded her back together(oh-and lost the top)just to make things interesting the rear half of the frame is another front half so i've got irs and rear steer(it can turn around in almost it's own length.)still got some body and interior work to do,but she runs and drives good:D

'nother view.note the fancy gas tank in the first view-i'm building a custom one from alum as there isn't anything that will fit the exp engine bay in the back.:icon_welder:
 
I like it! You need to post up some more pics.
 
what do you want to see?i just took these tonight,there will be more as i continue the build,but i didn't think to get too much before this point.got no secrets tho-something in particular you want to see or know i'm happy to oblige:icon_cheers:
 
I'd like some pics of the interior. By interior, i mean it looks like you havent built a rear floor yet and i'd like to see the "IRS" and 4wheel steer setup.
 
ok....rear floor is there,i just had to cut the fenderwells to clear the upper susp arms and shock mounts.steering isn't finished yet (just locked in straight ahead)but will use a worm drive mounted to the stock rack unit driven by an electric motor.will show build pics of that as it goes,and take more pics tomorrow.
 
That's cool, consider me subscribed:icon_thumby:
 
so you actually own all of these?
a v12?
a beach cruiser explorer
a stretched 4 door limo truck
a crazy Canadian chopped bronco II
a lifted ranger
a ambulance
another ranger
all that...... where do you find the space or the time to use them

Look at the pic. You can see half of the front suspension in the rear. You can see the torsion bars, the "front" sway bar, The "front" shock towers.

I know its there from the pic, I just want to see it work! :icon_thumby:
