54 wagon gone buggy

This started as a 54 wagon back in 2002. The original build was a 2 seater. Unfortunately I don't have any more pics of that build on this computer. I decided I neede to put a back seat in for the little ones. After stretching it 27 inches for the back seat the wheelbase became 131 inches. This was too long for one ton axles without rear steer. So I decided to put rocks underneath. At that point 44 inch tsl's seamed too small, so I moved up to 49's. The c4 tranny had to go, so it was replaced by a c6 (mated to a Klune-v 4:1 and a 205). Power plant is a 351W.
A special thanks goes out to MudProMetalWorks.

That pic of the kids reminds me of my daughter with my tape, there was A snap then A blood blister then tears

Very cool build

I believe they are from a late 90's trans am. They are very comfortable, but also heavy. 8$ is a steal!!! they are definately quality seats.
