We wanted to start and finish it in one week, however we didn't have time too with other work on the sched.

This is a pic of our new proto type Tin Bender spatula, Come Awnn!!

Looks like it's shaping up nicely! :D

When will the spatulas be available? :flipoff2:

Any updates on the cage kits?? :rasta:

time for bigger tires :D

did you keep the front of the body? floors and all? looks great so far. also how wide are your spring perches in the rear?

ya the Zuk is getting some new skins, not to mention it grew too. The wheel base is now 94" but over all length is 3" over stock. We also shaved the width of the body by about 18" in the rear and 12" in the middle of the frame.

Heat up the spatula and pat the greenies on the ass with it. :evil:

Looking good!

Were thinking about using it for a little Tin Bender break in for the newbies.:evil:

Here are some specs for the Spatula,

16 guage cold rolled for the skull cut with plasma the shaft is 1/2"x.095 wall HREW and the handle is 1"x.120 wall HREW and it's been TIG with stainless rod.

That looks cool now i know im not the only person in the whole world using a stock fuel tank. Ive gottin so much shit over mine. That looks cool post some more pics if you can Thanks Josh

Your using 2" right?

The back of that thing looks alot like Ricks zuk (AKA zukstur) good idea there ive seen alot of tube work and i think i like this one .Josh

are your rears spaced about 29" or do they just look inboarded because it's the body is so narrow?

The rear spring are in line with the frame, and the majority of the tube is 2"x.120 wall HREW. The stock gas tank works well, and I've never had any problems with it. We put it on a 27* ramp and I think were in the 1400 range. We hope to have it done this weekend if we have the time to get to it.

You can't see from the pic but we cut the whole rocker off the side of the body and narrowed it quite a bit, we also got rid of the traditional rock sliders tied the new rear frame into the front of what will be the "A" hoop. The floor now has a cool slope from the outside towards the tranny tunnle.

so what tires are you gonna run? :D

After you drive it a while, let us know how stable it feels with the inboarded rear springs compared to the stock spacing. I might do this to mine but I don't want to give up any of my sidehilling abilities.

Another tubed sami is born...no one has said the obvious...MORE PICS!!!!

Looks REAL nice:flipoff2: :flipoff2:

when we lengthend a buddys sami and put waggy 44's and wrangler springs under it we moved the springs inline with the frame. his works great and does not feel too tippy on side hills.

If they make an adapter for the 1.3L all my troubles are solved. Who's got the info?

call kerry at 607-272-8799. his adaptors are quality. :D

or 16ltoy@msn.com

Did anyone notice that Fatty has the POR skull and crossbones logo :skull: hangin´ upside down on the wall of his giyrage???

Y´all think it´s some sorta satanic thang?!?!?!?...:eek: :eek:
